― danbunny, Thursday, 12 April 2007 15:53 (nineteen years ago)

In fact I've heard WABC jocks say borderline racist things

Someone way way upthread mentioned Bob Grant, who had a thriving MetroNYC radio career (embraced by tons of area Republican pols) on WMCA and WABC, circa 1970-90s, saying shit like Imus' every day as his core message. He had a 'serious' call-in show.

web-site with the dash in it is so refreshing! thanks scott!

I was really dumbstruck at how he 'reinvented' himself as a political pundit by having Beltway guests. Never heard him do anything but regurgitate the LCD shit from network/cable news, and he didn't even to appear to understand most of that.

"Howard proceeded to turn the discussion back to Imus, with Robin recalling how he once called her the n-word while she was talking to his girlfriend when they worked at NBC together. Howard added he heard Imus use the same word when talking to an African American secretary at the station as well. Howard then played a prank call Richard and Sal made using Imus’ voice from his apology on Al Sharpton’s radio show calling a man named Sharpton."....mashups already

i always spell website like that. i'm sorry! wait, is it two words or one?

in bob herbert's column today in the new york times he quotes the 60 minutes interview with imus where imus tells mike wallace that Mcguirk was only on the show to tell "nigger jokes".

― scott seward, Thursday, 12 April 2007 16:09 (nineteen years ago)

Imus really calls his wife the "green ho"? that's what he says in that audio up top.

But if anyone is to make a racial crack, or an unflattering reference to Jews, it is often Mr. McGuirk, sometimes in the guise of C. Ray Nagin, the mayor of New Orleans, who is black, or often in his own voice. He has, for example, been known to refer to the New York Knicks as chest-bumping pimps.

Mr. McGuirk did not respond to a message left yesterday with his assistant in the Imus office. But in an interview with The New York Times in May 2000 he defended the breadth of the show’s humor, even if some blacks in particular might be offended in the process.

“It’s meant to be descriptive, not pejorative,” he said . “If the N.B.A. were peopled by a bunch of Romanians, we’d be making fun of Romanians. To not satirize someone just because of their race, I think that would be patronizing and racist in itself.”

“The bottom line is, I’m not a bigot,” he said in 2000, before adding that he had “lived amongst blacks all my life,” having grown up in the James Monroe Houses in the South Bronx. Mr. McGuirk also said that the co-op in Long Beach, N.Y., where he later lived had a directory in the lobby that “read like Schindler’s list, for crying out loud.”

“Yes, I arrive at the studio at 5 a.m. each day, but before I do, on my way out I shine my lawn jockeys, and then I stop at the cemetery and knock over Jewish tombstones,” he said. “Oh please.”

― scott seward, Thursday, 12 April 2007 16:12 (nineteen years ago)

He thinks the "Some of my best friends are ____" defense is underutilized.

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 12 April 2007 16:14 (nineteen years ago)

okay, even lamer than the "i have black friends" defense HAS to be the "i have lived near black people and jews in my life" as a defense.

"I am aware that other races exist."

― kenan, Thursday, 12 April 2007 16:20 (nineteen years ago)

To not satirize someone just because of their race, I think that would be patronizing and racist in itself.

hah i'll be honest thats exactly what i kept thinking

― deej, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:47 (nineteen years ago)

not only is Imus a racist and misogynist but his comments have had the unexpected effect of unintentionally poisoning "home movies"

― deej, Thursday, 12 April 2007 17:48 (nineteen years ago)

The longer this story goes on, the more of a mindfuck it is to me that this guy has any sort of cultural pull, with anybody.

― call all destroyer, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:09 (nineteen years ago)

have you heard of howard stern?

― Ms Misery, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:13 (nineteen years ago)

does this make three?

― gabbneb, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:40 (nineteen years ago)

x-post

Um, yeah. Couldn't tell you a thing about him.

― call all destroyer, Thursday, 12 April 2007 19:48 (nineteen years ago)

If Imus is confused about all this, I can't say I would blame him. Here he potters along for years making grotesquely offensive remarks about anyone who seems remotely worth blathering about - including racist slurs and crotch-grabbing rudeness - and all that happens is he gets rewarded with fatter and fatter paychecks, larger audiences and a certain sycophantic public admiration, until now. Now suddenly the roof falls on him. What could he possibly make of that?

On the other hand, good riddance to bad rubbish.

― Aimless, Thursday, 12 April 2007 20:06 (nineteen years ago)

CBS has fired him now as well.

― Nicole, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:08 (nineteen years ago)

good.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:09 (nineteen years ago)

He also expressed bitterness that MSNBC had “pulled the plug” on televising his program less than 12 hours before the fundraiser was to begin. “They got their pound of flesh and made their decision,” he said.

Do you think Imus realizes where this phrase comes from?

― Mr. Que, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:34 (nineteen years ago)

OMG

― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:35 (nineteen years ago)

He said that today.

― Mr. Que, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:36 (nineteen years ago)

hahahaha KEEP DIGGING, DUDE

zomg

I haven't seen Imus since a few episodes I watched around the time Brokeback Mountain came out, and it was hard to take much of the sidekick-you-go-I-Man combined with the bile.

― Eazy, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:42 (nineteen years ago)

Ann Coulter weighs in on Hannity and Colmes

Apparently, its all a part of the effort to squash conservative voices on the radio.

Even though Imus is a Liberal.

Er.

Um.

― g®▲Ðұ, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:44 (nineteen years ago)

i don't even want to watch that

― river wolf, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:44 (nineteen years ago)

someone do it for me

― river wolf, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:44 (nineteen years ago)

no way

― sleep, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:47 (nineteen years ago)

Imus should totally go on an expletive-n-epithet laced rant now that he's "free" of any professional constraints. that would be entertaining.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:48 (nineteen years ago)

just watch it with the sound off, only paying attention to goatee guy on the far right, and count how often he gets to intrude on Hannity and Coulter's circle jerk.

― g®▲Ðұ, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:48 (nineteen years ago)

haha, anne coulter sometimes otm there!

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude ‫茄蕃‪, Thursday, 12 April 2007 21:57 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, I wonder why they're going after Imus, which you have guys like Michael Savage still broadcasting.

― kingfish, Thursday, 12 April 2007 22:09 (nineteen years ago)

i'm not gonna read the ann coulter thing but does she admit she should be fired from whatever it is she does?

― gabbneb, Thursday, 12 April 2007 22:23 (nineteen years ago)

no reading required. you only have to watch it.
