NO! He did NOT deserve to get cut. Think I'll switch to ABC or something. He's said worse about the VP (actually yesterday he said worse about Cheney). This is just BS.
Who's next? Who are the "word" police going after next? Comedy Central says worse every night.

I can't stand Imus. But Howard Stern was spot on when he said that Imus should have responded by saying: "Fuck off, it was a joke" instead of this contrition tour he's done.

LMAO...gotta agree with you on that one. And....I can't stand Howard Stern either....the pervert. (My 79 year old Mom watches him....she's not suppose to know of such things...LOL)
Oh....and sorry, Imus, but the 'contrition tour' isn't gonna save your grumpy old ass.

They're supposed to be meeting with him on Tuesday. I find it very hypocritical that they fired him AFTER the sponsors pulled out, and then said the decision had nothing to do with money.

He was talking about the Girls Rutgers basketball team talking about how rough they looked and called them "Nappy Headed Hoes" ( I have NO idea how to spell hoe???  )
if anything he will now be more popular with his fan base and now they will probably have to pay to listen to him....so he may even make more $$ than when he was with MSNBC....

Mac,
Its the old double standard again.
Did Jewish people call for Jesse Jackson to be barred from tv or public appearences when he refered to New York as " Jaimetown" a few years back? Nope, because they have more important things to do other than worrying about the comments of one bigoted idiot.

Jimmers, yeah I know, but double standards just piss me off. I understand there are kinds like teddy the swimmer, and janklow, and many more elite and "protected" morons, and I just can't stand it...
What all this BS really is to me is BS to cover up important issues...

You know, I happen to actually like Imus. Have been having coffee with him about the last 20 or so years. He's called about everyone names and they've laughed about it. And yes, he goes out on a limb every now and then (the Bill Clinton Roast for one - think he got to Bill on that one, but it was funny as hell).
So what has he done that Comedy Central or the rappers or Al S or Jesse Jackson haven't done? (Besides being pompose biggots). Hell, I didn't even know Rutgers had a basketball team - seems to me they got a lot of free publicity out of that one remark.
the thing that gets me madder than hell is when these "people" (and I'm including everyone - reporters, Jesse, Al and anyone else who has an opinion) refers to Imus as that "old man". I think the "older" generation should protest the heck out of those remarks. After all that is a slur on those of us in his age group.
If I remember correctly, CBS did the same thing to Andy Rooney a few years back for a comment about a black basketball player. Guess it was a slow news day then also.

Quote:CBS fires Don Imus from radio show
Decision comes day after MSNBC drops shock jock's TV simulcast
NEW YORK - CBS fired Don Imus from his radio show Thursday, the finale to a stunning fall for one of the nation’s most prominent broadcasters.
Imus initially was given a two-week suspension, to start Monday, for calling the Rutgers women’s basketball team “nappy-headed hos” on the air last week, but outrage continued to grow and advertisers bolted from his programs.
“There has been much discussion of the effect language like this has on our young people, particularly young women of color trying to make their way in this society,” CBS President and Chief Executive Officer Leslie Moonves said in announcing the decision. “That consideration has weighed most heavily on our minds as we made our decision.
“From the outset, I believe all of us have been deeply upset and revulsed by the statements that were made on our air about the young women who represented Rutgers University ... with such class, energy and talent.”
Rutgers women’s basketball team spokeswoman Stacey Brann said the team did not have an immediate comment on Imus’ firing but would be issuing a statement later Thursday evening.
Time Magazine once named the cantankerous broadcaster as one of the 25 Most Influential People in America, and he was a member of the National Broadcaster Hall of Fame.
But Imus found himself at the center of a storm after his comments. Protests ensued, and one by one, sponsors pulled their ads from Imus’ show. On Wednesday, MSNBC dropped the simulcast of Imus’ show.
The Rev. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson met with Moonves to advocate Imus’ removal, promising a rally outside CBS headquarters Saturday and an effort to persuade more advertisers to abandon Imus.
Sumner Redstone, chairman of the CBS Corp. board and its chief stockholder, told Newsweek that he had expected Moonves to “do the right thing,” although it wasn’t clear what he thought that was.
The news came down in the middle of Imus’ Radiothon, which has raised more than $40 million since 1990 for good causes. The Radiothon had raised more than $1.3 million Thursday before Imus learned that he lost his job.
“This may be our last Radiothon, so we need to raise about $100 million,” Imus cracked at the start of the event.
He didn’t attack MSNBC for its decision — “I understand the pressure they were under,” he said — but complained the network was doing some unethical things during the broadcast. He didn’t elaborate.
It emerged Wednesday that a key to pulling the plug on his MSNBC simulcast was an internal mutiny within NBC. About 30 angry NBC News employees, many of them black, met with news division president Steve Capus and said they’d had it with Imus’ brand of coarse ethnic humor.

It gets even better.....
Quote:DJ fired for repeating Imus’ comments
‘Gary in the Morning’ of Allentown, Pa., encouraged listeners to say phrase
ALLENTOWN, Pa. - A radio station fired its longtime morning DJ Wednesday after he encouraged listeners to repeat talk-show host Don Imus' racially charged comments in an on-air contest.
Gary Smith told WSBG-FM listeners to call and say "I'm a nappy-headed ho" for Tuesday's "Phrase that Pays" contest, said Rick Musselman, executive vice president of station owner Nassau Broadcasting Partners L.P.
Musselman said three of the listeners who called were awarded tickets to a NASCAR promotion at a local club.

It kills me that for almost 20 years Stern has been saying "nig.gas" on his show and they fire Imus for saying "nappy hos"
I dont like Imus and never listen to him, but this is fucked up!
