Bring Me The Head Of Imus In The Morning

"Of all the very dumb and nasty things screamed on sports TV and radio these last few years, by everyone from Rush Limbaugh to Sid Rosenberg, what Don Imus said on Wednesday about the Rutgers women's basketball team was the very worst, the most hateful of all..."

There was a time I once believed sports writers to be regular joes. Ham and eggers. Putting politics aside to focus on, well, sports.

That was an incredibly stupid position to hold, because how could ANY employee of an MSM outlet be anything but a liberal blissninny.

Limbaugh was fired by ESPN, a stupid gig to begin with, because he opined that the media was clamoring for blacks to succeed at professional quarterbacking and would inflate the prowess of any such black who played the game. Forget the fact that this was his opinion, disremember that it was of course an honest recollection of events, and bear one thing in mind.

One does not tread so clumsily upon sacred ground.Facts be damned, truth be thrice damned, minorities, and blacks in particular because of liberal quilt, cannot be criticized nor poked fun at, ever, never, ain't gonna happen.

Along comes has-been Imus who joins in with lackey McGuirk to talk trash about the Rutgers women basketballers, and Katey, bar the door.

"That's some rough girls from Rutgers. Man, they got tattoos," he said.

Bernard McGuirk, his producer: "Some hardcore hos."

Imus: That's some nappy-headed hos there. I'm gonna tell you that now, man, that's some - woo. And the girls from Tennessee, they all look cute, you know, so, like - kinda like - I don't know.

McGuirk: A Spike Lee thing.

Imus: Yeah.

McGuirk: The Jigaboos vs. the Wannabes - that movie that he had.

Imus: Yeah, it was a tough -

Charles McCord, a co-host: Do The Right Thing.

McGuirk: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Imus: I don't know if I'd have wanted to beat Rutgers or not, but they did, right?

Rosenberg (a guest commentator): It was a tough watch. The more I look at Rutgers, they look exactly like the Toronto Raptors.

Imus: Well, I guess, yeah."

They looked like a shorter, uglier, less talented Toronto Raptor team, but don't for a moment believe that anyone higher than a blogger on the food chain that is the modern media can say such truth. Imus gave up the ghost when he went from instigator to follower, allowing McGuirk to say the naughty bits while he chortled then jumped in to cease anything remotely funny. But because Imus, perhaps remembering his roots as the father of shock-jockery, BEGAN the assault on the Rutger Queens of steroidial goings on, it is OFF WITH HIS HEAD.

Imus hasn't seen a top-10 ratings period since the early 80's, but the politico's adore him so he is made to be successful when in fact he is not. The largest radio market in the country, and he's on WFAN, a sports-talk outlet. Stern and the news would vie for the #1 slot, while Imus drew Mike and the Mad Dog fans who'd awakened too early and had not the strength to spin the dial to something else.

But he said funny things about black women the other day, the ratings will probably spike for a while, and this inflames the ninny's to no end.

Success at the price of "nasty ho's".
