Don Imus: Obama's a 'Hypocrite and a Phony'; Biden's a 'Moron'

Radio's Don Imus appeared on a special Labor Day edition of "Hannity" Monday evening, and really let President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden have it.

In a no holds barred discussion on Fox News, Imus said he thought Obama "was a hypocrite and a phony," and that Biden, in the 100 times he's interviewed him, has said "far worse things" than he's ever said on radio.

In Imus's view, Biden's "a moron" (video embedded below the fold with partial transcript, h/t Story Balloon):

DON IMUS, RADIO HOST: Even my own personal experience with [Barack Obama], and I thought he was a hypocrite and a phony, but, I mean Plugs is even worse, Biden. Because, I've had Biden on my program a hundred times, and he's said far worse things than I ever said. And, and making fun of going to 7-11s. I mean, I was just trying to be funny and be hip which was stupid. But I'm not offering that as an excuse for what I said. I'm just saying he is, he, because he's a moron, Joe Biden, has said a lot worse things. [...]

But I also think, and I said at the time when he was running, let's hope he's not, doesn't turn into Jimmy Carter. But, which I think he has. I think it's inexcusable that he appointed these people, these Goldman Sachs people, and these other people, to orchestrate this whole phony stimulus thing that could very well ruin this country. [...]

So, I think he's, I don't, I think it's business as usual. He's appointed too many questionable people. I don't, I, you know, I think, he's a lovely guy, and, and, but I mean if you can't give a speech without a teleprompter, and, you know, I just, I think he means well, I just don't think he knows what he's doing.
