Imus, Therefore I Am (A F*cking Moron)

[No Exit]

By Firedoglake's TRex

You know, of all the people on TV who make me cringe and hold my two fingers up to the TV screen while shouting, "I am CRUSHING your head!! CRUSHING your HEAD!!" (and they are legion), Don Imus is the one who seems to have the least reason to live. I mean, seriously. How did this guy manage to insert himself into the national dialogue? What laurels is he coasting on? If you know, pray enlighten me, cos otherwise I could swear that he is basically the journalistic equivalent of a case of crabs. He must have sneaked in and stowed away while something else was going on, and by the time anyone noticed him, he'd proliferated and set up residence.

What a piece of work this guy is. I find it totally baffling that he has a career at all. What niche does he ostensibly occupy? Is he Howard Stern for pinheads who are too cheap to shell out for satellite radio? Is he Hannity's drunk, coked-up uncle? A poorly programmed refugee from Westworld?

Let's start with the hat.

A not-to-be-missed article for all of us who are totally baffled that this cud-chewing old colostomy bag HAS a career, and who are also wondering what niche he occupies.

1. He pissed of his sidekick Charles McCord this morning...

The other day he was talking about Foley and said "Everybody KNEW he was a homo...not that I'm homophobic..."

Today he was dancing around the issue of Foley's sexuality, "not that there's anything wrong with that" (tip of the hat to Seinfeld), and added "CHARLES is gay..."

So the intent seemed to be that you can be gay AND human and Charles McCord is proof of that.

McCord sat at the desk with his head down and didn't look up until Imus finished speaking.

Oh yeah...one more thing...that kid of his is a rotten little son of a bitch. He's got "Damien: The Omen" written all over him.

That is all.

:evilgrin:

4. I owe TRex for asking the question that I always want to ask:

to paraphrase, HOW does this vicious old fart get his own show on cable news?? I mean, WHAT has he done to merit it? I mean, of WHAT cable executive does he have blackmail pictures showing said exec with, like, little boys, or something? (Okay, I guess that's a rather touchy question, given the republicans' current problems with little boys, but you get my drift... no?)

2. TRex has done it again ...

nearly choked on my coffee trying to protect my monitor and keyboard.

As far as Imus ... I'm as clueless as her/him(?)

6. TRex masterfully covered everything except the cud-chewing.

The revolting eunuch Imus, for some reason, must be perpetually smacking on some gum-like substance.

The part about the Roy Rogers suit is demonstrably accurate.

7. That is mint nicorette...he quit cigarettes, but not nicotine, you see NT

3. Imus truly sank into the toilet when

he had to dump Sid Rosenberg because when he heard the news that Kylie Minogue had breast cancer, and Imus made some comment about thinking Minogue was kind of pretty, Rosenberg said "She won't look so pretty when she's bald with one titty."

Flush twice if necessary, please. And don't forget to sanitize the seat.

5. I was unaware he'd ever had his head above the water in the 1st place...

Anyway, gad, that WAS a vicious comment on the part of this asshole Rosenberg (whoever HE/IT is.)

May Mr. Rosenberg someday be... I dunno... bald, with one titty... or is he that way already?

8. More than that, though...I think he got arrested for coke possession

and ended up in rehab for that and a few other addictions.

Among other personal problems, Rosenberg has also been involved with a lawsuit for stealing DirecTV, and was taken into a rehabilitation center earlier in 2005 for a triple addiction to crack cocaine, alcohol, and gambling. He and his wife Danielle were married around 1991, and had a daughter Ava around 2003.

Rosenberg would leave WFAN altogether on September 12, 2005. He did so after failing to show up to host the Giants' pre-game show on September 11, 2005 (he made an appearance for FHM in Atlantic City that weekend, and post that has little memory of what transpired <6>). As a result of the no-show, management at WFAN gave him the option to resign from the station, which he did. The New York Post reported that he would likely have been fired if he did not resign. After nine months of unemployment, he found underpowered "The Ticket" in Miami. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sid_Rosenberg



You know ole Sid is NORM COLEMAN's cousin....the dweeb used to brag about it constantly.
