| Vin, I agree. I was surprised by the uproar and even more surprised by the recent decision. I don't think I can credit Sharpton alone. I haven't seen anything unite our country's leftist thought police like this in years. After all, the leading Democratic presidential candidates both felt like they needed to take time off from their soundbites to take shots at the guy! The amusing thing is that the comment wasn't even an ideological statement. I don't think anyone claims Imus is a racist. He just made a pretty much unfunny comment and apologized to the point of silliness for it. The good news: Imus finally has time to work on the Imus - Steinman collaboration we heard so much about a few years ago! -=John Galt=- > I'm no Imus fan, but this firing is a farce.
