In Reply To: What are you going to say when there is no lawsuit? Of course there won't be one. If you want an apology from Imus, why don't you also ask for one from Contessa Brewer for making off color comments about Don Imus? Brewer was never on the Imus in the Morning payroll. MSNBC (The NBC News Channel) put her in that spot. You blowhearts can scream lawsuit all you want, get with the real world. Imus in the Morning is a satirical show. It mixes high profile interviews with comedy. Although the ratings took a large spike down, the billings for the Imus in the Morning stations are still the top in the land, almost doubling those of the Howard Stern Show. He isn't going anywhere. I believe this more than you ever will know since I deal in real life. Is it miserable what was said about her on this show, of course. It's part of the deal when you sign up. She is a mindless newsreader. When asked to explain any of the stories she read she hemmed and hawed since she didn't have a clue what any of the background was. The fact that she was sitting next to one of the finer radio news reporters of our lifetime in Charles McCod an thought she was on the same professional level at him is not only laughable but also pathetic. I have heard stories of Ms. Brewer at Newhouse along with many of the boys at UUTV...I will leave it at that. The I-Man has some very good sources. Keep quacking all you want about the lawsuit that will never happen. She got what she deserved when she made those comments that were printed on Pahe 6. I bet Imus will be even more entertaining about her fat ass Monday morning.
Message: "The fact that she was sitting next to one of the finer radio news reporters of our lifetime in Charles McCod an thought she was on the same professional level at him is not only laughable but also pathetic." That is your quote. If you live in the real world, how could you possible say that about Charles McCord. Good reader? Yeah, he's OK. But 'reporter'? When did he ever jostle with a crowd over any story? He is Imus' friend from way back. He's, I'm sure a nice guy who attends Bible study and breeds dogs, but he's not a reporter. He is a NEWS READER. He is not NEWS WRITER, A NEWS GATHERER, OR NEWS REPORTER. He is a crony who is on the payroll because he is IMUS' friend!!!! He's like that former thug cop, Diedle or Deedle, how ever you spell the name of that jack-booted goon who kisses Imus ass every Monday; a crony. If you actually 'live in the real world', your comments about McCord, again, a very nice person, do not reflect a true reality.
