April 14, 2007 - 03:43 ET by old cro"The Ebony Al and Ivory Imus Show" debuted today on CBS. The "shock-jock" duo will feature emerging hip-hop performers and do commentary on the days political landscape with a multi-cultural perspective. The show will air weekdays from Noon till 3PM and hopes to compete with "right-wing" talk radio shows, such as Rush Limbaugh.

Talk about a lynching -- I ho
April 14, 2007 - 06:29 ET byTalk about a lynching -- I honestly cannot believe that this man had to lose his livelihood over this. With all the garbage said out there today, the lynch mob went after someone for something like this? I don't even know who this man is, but I feel bad for him. Gosh, from what people have told me about his show, it was a show that was supposed to go for the 'shock factor.' Every white may want to make note, that it is okay for blacks to say bad things about blacks and whites, but goodness forbid a white says something stupid! This sort of thing just causes more division. It is a natural reaction to pull back from that or those, who may hurt you. Going after someone's job, over something so small, is not a way to make friends. I could see if it was Rosie, she has done things over and over again and she has turned The View, into The Homo View, but gosh... This has gone too far, over one stupid comment... ~Debra...
Debra, it's not "one c
April 14, 2007 - 07:20 ET by sarcasmoDebra, it's not "one comment" with Anus. Instead, it's a pattern of similarly stupid (and, more important, un-funny!) comments over the years. See Chris Rock in "Bring the Pain" for how to do much-more-offensive but hilarious racial humor right -- Anus just wasn't up to the task because frankly, Anus isn't nearly as bright or as funny as Chris Rock is. And unlike the case of Howard Stern, where a hyperpolitical government agency was egged on by "our own" L. Brent Bozell, folks, this one was the marketplace speaking -- not big government censors. Wanna blame somebody for the demise of Anus? Blame Bigelow Tea.

April 14, 2007 - 08:19 ET by sarcasmoNo digging needed. It's called "the free marketplace." Daniel Carver doesn't get that many endorsements for the same reason Anus lost Bigelow Tea (finally, and after years of similar Anus offenses which were only covered on the Howard Stern show because CBS/NBC management SO-wanted a political 'shock-jock' to be a success).

I think this was a modern day
April 14, 2007 - 22:34 ET byI think this was a modern day lynching of a white man, who messed up --but did nothing worse than many blacks do. And people who were thinking of voting for Obama, should think twice about voting for a man who would suggest that someone should lose their job for a "racist" comment, while saying nothing about a woman (Rosie) making treasonous comments.
Rutgers coach is transparent
April 14, 2007 - 08:04 ET by SamI just saw that the Rutgers coach finally said she (they) accept Imus' apology and she said it was never their intent to get him fired. What a liar! If she didn't intend to get him fired then why did she refuse to say she forgave him even after he apologized umpteen times UNTIL AFTER he was finally fired. I'm not saying any of them deserved what idiot Imus said but the coach threw gas on the flames all week and REFUSED to accept Imus' multiple apologies but low and behold as soon as he lost both jobs she becomes a christian and can forgive him. Give me a break. How stupid does she think we really are?
I dont understand the Rutgers coach
April 14, 2007 - 08:19 ET by pearlI dont understand the Rutgers coach. I dont really understand what that whole "show" was about. I know it was 2 episodes - the first was 1 hour long with lots of hype. The 2nd was 3 hours long. What was it all about?
Every other coach would have just made a brief statement that said "our girls are great, Imus is an idiot".
