Smart man, Imus is, too bad he sometimes spoke before thinking what he was saying!

I used to trap the MSNBC simulcast of his show every morning and then watch it after work. Even though half his guests were certified commies, especially the Newsweek and NY Times crew, I generally enjoyed them and learned something. Loved Meachem's discussions of religion and any time Big & Rich were on.
His comment about the Rutgers women was downright stupid, no question, but I thought the reaction grossly overstated. It was, to me, especially appalling to see all the politicos and media types, who'd been feeding off of Imus for years, desert him. Guys like Harold Ford and David Gregory who'd been helped tremendously in their careers either disappeared or couldn't wait to knife him. The Newsweek crew was abysmal. They and others who'd appeared regularly for years couldn't wait to reveal that secretly they'd been disgusted with Imus and had really been torn about being on his show. However, some politicians like Lieberman, McCain, & Dodd have stuck with him, as have Carville, Greenfield, Doris Kearns Goodwin, and, of course, Bo.
I'm glad he's back. I wish Comcast carried that C&W network that carries his show. I need my fix of Kinkie, Jack Jacobs, and the Higgins Clark girls.
