I'm a conservative, but I never found Imus appealing. He had been around 50 years, I think its a generational thing. I doubt he was much worse than other people his age, but he wasn't my cup of tea. Sort of the old school Howard Stern, who I don't care for either.

| never listened because there were no stations that syndicated him where I am from, but I recall him on in the mornings on MSNBC (?). That said, I recognize his legacy in talk radio is enormous. I am not sure of the actual numbers, but I think he was #1 in NYC mornings for decades which was a much bigger deal then than that it is now. I was willing to give him a mulligan over the Womens Rutgers basketball controversy, but too many things came out afterwards that made it undeniable he had some deep seeded racists thoughts and beliefs. |

Howard would have had a field day with this 10-15 years ago but he got soft and made up with him in his age.
Bye.

He ended becoming one of those people who he railed against when he was younger. |
