Off .. way off .. topic ... but watching Don Imus ..
 
The weather is awful,, simply awful. Tomorrow it is going to snow. I
haven't accomplished jack on my boat..

And then Don Imus comes to my rescue.

Watching this self-important blowhard racist squirm is making my day. For
years this son of a bitch has
been dumping on every "little" person on the planet. I remember when he
would take a phone call from a
listener and laugh at the poor caller. Then his "trophy" wife goes around
and tells everybody how to live.
Like this lazy slut ever had a job!

Where are all the rich, connected, I'm better than you, kiss asses going to
go now?

It is always fun, and satisfying when I get to watch someone who has no
respect for me, who wouldn't give me the time of day,
who thinks people like me are losers, a loud mouth, and all his little
pecker sucking stooges .. live up to the saying ..

Dave,, I'm writing of the guests. His lackeys. They show up on his show,
listen to him call them names, make
fun of whatever it is they do, ..

and then they go off and laugh at us mere mortals..

For years it has bothered me that Imus gets away with treating people like
fools, calling ordinary folks every kind of name.

It is like the guy with the big huge yacht at the marina. He gets one kind
of treatment, I get another.

He wouldn't grab my dock line { last summer }.

Well, Imus wouldn't grab my dock like either.

So... now the son of a bitch can sink ,,


Good bye Donny! Tell Deirdre Imus to get a job! Maybe she can use some of
the cleaning tricks she is so
fond of telling the rest of us to use on someone's floor. For minimum wage!

This could not happen to a more deserving person.

They had better things to do than listen to Imus in the first place.

Gogarty ,, I'm off topic.. I admit .. I apologize.

====================================

Just wanted to share my distaste for Imus with some folks who understand
what it is like to struggle, try to keep up
with a little sailboat, do all kinds of work on their boat, and don't go
around calling folks with less money losers.

Hey, nobody's requiring you to tune to whatever station it is that carries
him. I don't think I've ever heard the guy.


I never have. And indeed, this is way, way off topic.

Don Imus/WFAN Pediatric Center for Tomorrow's Children

http://www.imusranchfoods.com/
Imus Ranch Foods - 100% goes to The Imus Cattle Ranch for Kids with Cancer
in Ribera, New Mexico.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3359675/
MSNBC's ranch site.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3080530/

The ranch's spending $26K/kid brought in the moneygubber politicians for a
look, but nothing came of it. It's not, so far, illegal for a liberal to
spend $26K/year to make a kid living with cancer or worse a little happier.
http://www.talkleft.com/story/2005/03/26/853/44594

Imus' "schtick" is to be insulting, especially on his radio show. It has
served him very well, being insulting. He's called some of the most famous
and powerful people in the country "fat pigs" or worse. Of course, most of
these were WHITE people, and fair game in 2007. Not a morning goes by that
Imus doesn't call someone something awful, mostly in agreement to what both
liberal and conservative listeners would say if they had the microphone..
(c;

The Elliott Spitzer investigating the ranch did the right thing to drop
it....
He wants to get re-elected, not fried on MSNBC...(c;

Looking around with Google, I found the ranch's 2000 tax return. Everyone
bitches about how much money he spends per kid. 100 kids at $2.6M/yr. As
this is NOT government funded, but funded by some really rich people, it's
really none of their business what he spends per kid. The more the better!

There's an awful lot of envy problems boiling up in blisters......
I doubt $26000/kid...or 260,000/kid is illegal, right?

You need to read Imus' bio.....
http://www.biography.com/search/article.do?id=9542196

He lived in a laundromat in 1960. He's been a brakeman on the Southern
Pacific Railway, homeless, and got started as a DJ in Palmdale, CA in
1968.

He's already been fired from NBC a couple of times....and regularly
ridicules company brass signing his fat paycheck.

He came from a small ranch, a broken home, his parents divorced when he
was 15. He left high school and joined the Marines, never graduating.

Yeah, Imus is a real kid born with a platinum spoon in his ass. I've
never lived in a laundromat, homeless. I never made what he makes, now,
either.

Imus is a self-made man....made by his audience buying products. I can
understand why he's not too fond of the limo crowd. Noone has earned
less money then Don Imus at certain periods of his life....or been
drunker...or higher, probably...(c;

Larry,, I didn't say he came from money, or that he didn't work hard to get
where he is ..

But the ******* makes fun of people who are less fortunate than he is, and
he has been doing it for a long
time.

Who knows .. maybe he will wake up.

I find the whole episode funny. People apparently listen to him because he
says outrageous things, and then claim they're "shocked, shocked" that he
says outrageous things.



So, you're shocked. Shocking.
