The firestorm about Don Imus lately? Or if anyone knows who he is and what he said?

Don Imus is a radio host in the Howard Stern mold though he was popular long before Stern. I've never heard him myself but I've heard he's pretty opinionated.

He referred to the Rutgers University women's basketball team as a "nappy headed ho's".

From listening to the news lately, I think that Don Imus is the father of Anna Nicole's baby. But then, I haven't been paying close attention.

"I think that Don Imus is the father of Anna Nicole's baby"

Well in that case he won't need to talk to any of us every again ... except perhaps through his lawyers!

How did Forest Gump put it?

"Don Imus has more money than Davey Crocket"

He's pretty funny sometimes. Read this speech he gave at the White House Radio/TV Correspondents Association Annual Dinner. It caused a lot of controversy at the time.

http://imonthe.net/imus/ispeech.htm
"And then there's George Will -- and they call Steve Forbes a geek -- anyone that buttoned up, I guarantee ya, is spending part of his weekend wearing clothes that make him feel pretty. <laughter> Things he's picked up we now know at Victoria Secret over in Georgetown."

"Now I love Ronald Reagan, as do most Americans, regardless of politics. But man, what a weird family. Nancy starin' at him like a glass-eyed moonie on mushrooms, checkin' with this nut log out on the west coast who's charting the course of the country out on a ouija board. What's that all about? And the kid, Ron, trampin' around in his underwear on Saturday Night Live and Patty's naked in Playboy, and each of them had these Mommy Dearest book deals. And of course, they all still hate Michael.

Weird families are not confined to Republicans, of course. Remember the Carters? Ham Jordan, Willie Nelson are smokin' dope on the roof of the White House and Billy's out in middle of an airport, hosing down the runway, while Jimmy's flailing away at a killer bunny with a canoe paddle asking Amy to weigh in on America's role in the nuclear age.

And while President Clinton's cabinet is not technically a family, they are the single oddest looking group of people ever assembled. Like the bar scene out of Star Wars.<laughter> I mean, watching them file in for the State of the Union reminded me of seein' all those clowns falling out of the Volkswagen at the circus."

Just making fun of how people look doesn't strike me as very witty. Now, Colbert's press club address last year was brilliance.

No it's not, plus I doubt he realized what he was saying when he said it...but to get canned?

I hope he sues them

AND to top it off, the Gov of NJ amost gets killed on the way to the meeting at the gov mansion between Imus and the Rutgers team

I mean you can't make this stuff up

Watch out...Big Brother is watching now
