Bo Dietl: Rutgers team "benefited" from Imus comments. It was a "positive thing."
Edited on Sat Dec-01-07 09:14 PM by journalist3072
DON IMUS EXPECTED TO GET SOME PAYBACK MONDAY: Roker, Russert, Ford Jr., Newsweek editors reportedly in line of fire; Najee Ali announces protest.

When Don Imus returns to the airwaves Monday for the first time since his firing last April over racist and sexist remarks, word has it that he's fixin' to unleash eight months of pent-up frustration at the public figures who abandoned him during the controversy.

"I think he will have some scores to settle," Page Six quoted of Phil Boyce, the general manager of Imus' new radio home at New York's WABC.

Private eye Bo Dietl, who will join Imus in the 8 a.m. hour on Monday, told Page Six that former Imus regulars Harold Ford Jr. and Al Roker may be called out by Imus on his first day.

"They turned their backs on him so fast," Dietl said. "Al Roker had his stomach stapled - he should have had his mouth stapled."

-snip-

Dietl said Imus' "nappy-headed hoes" remark "brought attention to that Rutgers basketball team. They really benefited. It turned out to be a positive thing."

After reading the aforementioned comments of this nutjob Bob Dietl, I happened to google him, and Media Matters has some very intersting stuff on this racist:

9. Honestly, the

8. Is there really any wonder why
freaky fundie Stephen Baldwin, the so called actor and Flintstones Barney Rubble character also played Bo Dietl's character once in a cop movie?

Nah! I didn't think so.

10. See, Imus has learned nothing
He's been given opportunity after opportunity to prove he isn't really an asshole - and time and again he fails. So once again, hate triumphs over basic human decency. Congratulations America.

11. You are exactly right
He will go on Monday in a foul and vindictive mood, attacking all who were criticizing him for his remarks. There will be no remorse. There will be no apologies. Just an angry, ugly old fart spouting venom for 3 hours. Nothing has changed.

12. Imus and Company has learned nothing.
Sadly, there are ignorant mules who listen to him still.
