With all this talk of Imus, what about his nasty sidekick, McGuirk?

[LisaM]

He's the one who started insulting the Rutgers team. He's always saying terrible things. I'd be happy if just he was given the boot and Imus got someone a little nicer.

1. Yes I was wondering the same thing

He is awful.

[NormanYorkstein]

6. Imus wants to fire this guy to save his own ass

They both should be fired. Let's boycott all their sponsors.

[Chomskyite]

2. Olbermann said on ESPN radio yesterday

. . . that McGuirk is generally a shit to everybody who has to work with him, too.

If McGuirk is canned, the first thing he'll do is run to the nearest camera and cry out he's a victim of censorship. It's easy to tell what kind of snivelling coward he is if you've listened for a few minutes to the show.

[LisaM]

3. He's such an asshat on the show

that it doesn't surprise me that he's no better in person.

[Missy M]

4. Hardly a thing has been said about him.....

and he was equally as bad as Imus regarding the Rutgers team.

[KamaAina]

10. No. he was not "equally as bad". He was even worse!

I won't repeat the crude slur McJerk uttered on-air, so you'll have to go here:

http://mediamatters.org/items/200704040011

McGuirk referred to the NCAA women's basketball championship game between Rutgers and Tennessee as a "Spike Lee thing," adding, (something really crude from the movie -Ed.) ... that movie that he had." McGuirk was presumably referring to Lee's 1988 film, School Daze (Sony Pictures), though co-host Charles McCord misidentified it as "Do the Right Thing" (Criterion, June 1989).

:puke: :puke: :puke:

Attention headhunters at Fox, Rush etc.: This vile slimeball will soon be available!

edit: Yeesh! I put it in there! There go all my sponsors...

[Bacchus39]

5. he is very expendable

n/t

[Cha]

7. Fire both their

asses and move on.

8. Bernard McGuirk is Don Imus' Brain

Imus pissed his own brains out in a phone booth decades ago while on a drunken coke binge.

BM is to Imus as Karl Rove is to Bush.

[LisaM]

9. Well he definitely drives the topics on the show

And I would like to see him held to equal account.

[Marie26]

11. Imus hired him & supported him

McGuirk speaks for Imus, don't kid yourself.

[LisaM]

12. Yes, that's probably true

But he is even more unlikeable than Imus, and that's saying a lot!

[Marie26]

14. LOL. It really is.

At least Imus has the ranch!

[Warren DeMontague]

13. Gay Porn.

I hear Jeff Gannon has an opening, as it were.
