Keep an eye on Imus this morning
Every time that Bush has been confronted by a journalist and fought back, the Imus crew have proclaimed that Bush wiped the floor with him/her. Never mind that Bush has never actually responded to the questions in those interviews.
Let's see if they take a page out of the Drudge book and try to portray it as "Clinton was angry and defensive."
As you know, the right wing is trying to turn this into another "Dean scream."

If Imus did his own research, which he hardly ever does, there's a chance that he might be objective.
If he relies on his staff to "inform" him of what happened, it's not going to be good.

1. Holy shit! Imus just said Clinton was great.
He did throw in a Monica cheap shot, but that's his style.

I typed to soon: now they're talking about how Monica was a distraction.

2. "He realizes that if he hadn't been fooling around with the fat girl...
...he could have gone ahead and done it."

Which is utter bullshit, of course, but so is Imus. Shell-shocked substance abuser who is one of the die-hard Clinton haters.

3. Did Imus just say that Berger called off an attack on OBL?

5. Can't blame you.
"Fooling around with the fat girl."

He makes me sick.

11. Not the worst thing he has said in that vein.
That unfunny doofus who dresses up & does characters was doing Clinton one morning. Imus said to him "Aw, why don't you go rape another fat chick?"

That's when I stopped watching.

18. Can't even get their story straight!
The one they accused Clinton of raping was Juanita Broaddrick. Monica, the "fat chick" apparently enjoyed every moment she had with Clinton.

Even if Clinton HAD raped someone, even that would pale in comparison to raping entire countries--as * has done to Iraq and the U.S. And their old "Clinton death list" is never mentioned now--perhaps because, even taking it as true (though it was just a bunch of kook conspiracy theory), their boy Shrub's death list has exceeded it by literally THOUSANDS.

6. I like Imas. He is not always right but he is like every day people.
He does not always use reason but it is sort of off the top of his feeling. Most of us are like that. It sounds like that is how he reasons it out. I like that guy and he really does not care how he thinks. Generally when you meet people they sort of do that. It does not up set me at all that he is all over the place.

7. "he really does not care how he thinks."
That kind of says it all right there, doesn't it?

My husband calls him "Don I'm-an-ass."

9. So...does that mean..

...unless the people you're around completely espouse your political views 100% of the time, you write them off? I like Imus, and I don't have to care what he thinks about anything really. The show makes me think -- and that is enough for me. I don't need to constantly hear the choir - in fact, I rather enjoy hearing different views.

17. So do I . Makes me think he just thinks off the top of his heart.
He seems to like or dislike people for no reason and I just sort of like that. I think behind all that he has a lot going for him. I just like him.

20. Okay... yours is apparently a gut reaction. So's mine: I despise
the cud-chewing phony whose idiotic cowboy hat looks like it came from the "husky" shelf of some 50's-era kiddie store.

("Husky" is a size that is found in the boys' departments of children's clothes; it is a euphemism for "here are some clothes for your chubby little boy". Imus is a fathead.)

That said, I'm not declaring war on those of you who like to watch the geriatric "cowboy". It's your call!:)

21. I will say I turn him off when he starts on body parts.
I do not think this man is any brain I just turn him on and let him go. I some times like his guest as he does usually ask them what every day people would. And if he starts on that kid I always turn him off.

12. no he is never right..he is a dry drunk cocaine death brain..who dosen't
Edited on Mon Sep-25-06 08:23 AM by flyarm
know shit and he doesn't care if he doesn't know shit..

he is a druggie who's brain has hit exhaustion..so others tell him what to say..and he sits there and mumbles..

this is a druggie who could hardly keep a job..that now has gotten some sick audience for some damn reason that escapes me!

this is a guy who was in alleys doing drugs ..like any junkie and for some reason people turn in to see a junkie in his old age..

shut that worthless piece of crap off..he does not even attempt to know facts...

and if he did know one fact he would soon forget it because he has druggie brains now..totally fried..

this man had multiple serious drug addictions for many, many years..telling Americans how they should precieve things????????????? OR JUDGE THINGS EFFECTING OUR GOVERNMENT???? AND FUTURE???

sad truely sad..

10. Lest they forget
How testy Bush himself was with Matt Lauer a few weeks ago. Bush was right up nose to nose with Lauer.

19. Imus cares more about preening and getting his hair in place...
than he does about the issues of the day.
