Imus gets fired for saying a racist comment but Glenn Beck, Rush and Dr. Laura skate right through them without a scratch, how the hell does that happen?

1. She did it to continue a race as issue narrative
It is best to just let that go, not the topics people need to think on right now.

5. Imus is no more liberal than your average football coach over age 90

6. Heh! Didn't anyone notice that Imus' ratings sucked and when...
WNBC became all-sports WFAN, Imus had a huge contract that they couldn't break? Nobody was listening to the old has-been. (Nobody was watching him on MSNBC, either.)

So, let him fuck up again (he always does) and find that little clause in the contract to dump him and bring in Boomer Esiason who gets half again the radio ratings Imus got. And Scarborough on TV so liberals can post every day about how bad he is.

Problems solved.

8. Yep. Imus was pretty conservative and there are some
successful liberal talk show hosts like, Stephanie Miller. :D
