Did Imus just threaten to ban all Democrats from his show if they don’t support Lieberman?

Imus wasn’t too happy with the Democrats that supported Joe Lieberman before he lost the primary. Most of them are now getting behind Lamont because– he won and is the Democratic nominee now.

Imus: I had decided to do I think Charles, Is to ban everybody, every Democrat–which unfortunately too many of our guests are anyway. To ban ‘em. Ahhh, the program–for turning their back on Lieberman.

Charles: Yea, understood–it’s a shame.

Bernard: We’ll have to take phone calls from listeners–You ban Democratic politicians—that, that bailed on Lieberman–like Harold Ford and uh,,, who hasn’t bailed on him is the question.–

Imus: The stuff we have on him, (Dodd) he better come to his senses quickly.

This is probably Imus’s tongue-in-cheek humor to support his good buddy Lieberman, but then they started talking about secrets they might have against Chris Dodd if he doesn’t get on board. It’s his show so he can invite anyone he wants to come on, but it’s pretty lame stuff indeed.

1. Imus is sort of Rev Gene Scott without the egyptian mumbo jumbo.

It makes about as much sense.

15. Big difference

Gene Scott was actually funny.

2. seriously, who the fuck cares what that shriveled up old toad

wants?

3. Dodd is a Democrat, Lamont is a Democrat, Lieberman is an Independent

All Democrats should support only other Democrats. Joe Lieberman is no longer a Democrat!

A week ago both Lieberman & Lamont were Democrats...no more, Lieberman chose to reject the democratic party instead of supporting the new Democratic candidate...

Clinton, Dodd, Boxer, Shumer, Kennedy, Feingold, etc...are ALL democrats, and their duty is to support the democratic candidate. The Democratic candidate is Ned Lamont...NOT Independent candidate Joe Lieberman!

4. Imus belongs in a nursing home

[snappyturtle]

5. Yep! He's lost it! nt

7. Imus is, I think, the epitome, of what is wrong with broadcasting

Rush is an asshole but at least he's entertaining in a sick sort of way. Imus is just an old, self absorbed, perpetual crank, with an oversized ego. I can't imagine why people find this guy interesting or entertaining.

6. Imus doesn't bother enough to keep himself informed enough

so that he can discuss anything with any kind of relevance. He's tired, his staff is tired. They go on vacation and who even notices. They took him off my am drive time station and I ended up finding a local talk show host who was 10 times more informed and 20 times as entertaining. Imus's fans are dwindling because he's lost his edge. Sorry, that's just the way it is.

And I am NOT tying it to age. Diane Rehm kicks more butt more often than many interviewers on radio and television. You KNOW she's read up and looked at numerous sides and she doesn't let anyone get away with anything.

8. he's too busy talking about fat women while putting his chubby

kid on the air... as Hillary said re Cheney..he's irrevelant

9. I tried to watch his show a couple times and he SUCKS, imho

a real dyed in the wool re:puke: if you ask me. I don't mean anything to you by this though just wanted to give my opinion.
peace
:hi:

10. Just goes to show you don't have to be smart to have your own show

Imus is seriously uninformed if he believes that his opinion will change the minds of Democrats regarding Lamont. Lieberman needs to support Lamont, not run against him outside the Democratic Party.

Until Liberman comes to his senses and drops out, he deserves the ridicule he is not receiving, and Imus can enjoy the same with him.

11. Woo. 300 people won't see Dems who support Dems. Da-amn.

Like anybody in their right mind would want to be seen on that old prune-fart's show.

[Jacobin]

12. Imus is a star-fucker simpleton

He openly gloms on to the rich and famous so he can drop their names and get their cell phone numbers to make himself feel important, because he knows he's just a grumbly, stupid, lame douchebag.

Lieberman sucks up to Imus, so Imus does this stupid shit.

He's a worthless blob of carbon.

[madokie]

19. a complete total waste of skin if you ask me

[Alpharetta]

13. That't the 1st I've heard from Imus since the 2004 election

I thought Imus had soured on the Iraq fiasco. Has he done another 180?

[napi21]

14. I accidently caught his interview with Howard Fineman this AM.

Fineman didn't do bad, but Imus was his usual idiot self. I NEVER watch his show, and I was sooo tired of seeing the same BS on CNN, and cspan had some idiot on too, so I started flipping chanels, and accidently found Imus and Fineman.

Honestly, I don't think it much matters who he lets on or keeps off his show. I'm surprised HE still has a show!!!!!

[LTR]

16. Yeah, but who listens to him anyways?

Seems his only affiliates (except for WFAN) are at the very bottom of the ratings.

Howard Stern said it best: Imus was better when he was doing cocaine.

17. Four months ago I gave up smoking and Imus.

I still miss smoking sometimes.

Do yourself a favor. Turn off this loser and you will not miss him for a second. :)
I promise.

18. i always thought he was a big jerk. n/t

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

20. People still listen to Imus?

I see he's still doing the old "Back the guy who looks like he'll win" bit.

[Justice Is Comin]

21. He does more 180s than planes over LaGuardia

Imus the dufus.

[hatrack]

22. Imus - Ed Schultz with a cowboy hat

Whoop-dee-fucking-doo.

[graywarrior]

23. He's a walking patch of psoriasis.

And listening to him is like listening to Lieberman. They should record a whining duet.
