I'll
admit. I'm a big, fat liar. After everyone and their mom flooded my
site over my "White Men Have To Respect Black Women, But Black Men
Don't?" post, I promised to stay out of this. I think this is my 5th
Imus-related post since saying that, so I'm a liar. Sue Me.
The DRUDGE REPORT has more on Imus complaining about not complaining this morning. He has added a new person to his "I thought you had my back" hit list; Harold Ford. Here is some of what he said about Junior:
"Harold Ford, Jr. has been disgraceful in his lack of support. I endured death threats to endorse him...It's unfortunate that he has no courage. I'm not surprised by any of this. I'm not surprised at the hypocrisy of Al Sharpton, of Jesse Jackson or any of these people. But you can't whine about it."
"My position on all of this is not whining about the hideously hypocritical coverage from the newspapers -- from everybody -- or the lack of support, say, from people like Harold Ford, Jr. who I had my life threatened over supporting and all these kind of things."
Harold was a favorite of Imus, but they've been trying to call him for days and no call back. Hmmmm. Maybe he's too busy working those 515 different jobs he has.
Imus continues to use phrases like "you people" and "these people." Just handing it to them on a platter.
He wants Al Sharpton to apologize to the Duke Lacrosse players. He spent more time talking about how good a person he really is, which I don't think is the right move in this situation. I think it only makes you look more fake after bringing up your ranch for sick kids 100 million times. He says he apologized to some black woman whose son had spent time at her ranch and apologize to her. She said she accepted.
He continues to say that context does matter. I agree, but he still hasn't explained what exactly the joke was in that exchange. I didn't see it. Unless you think just calling black women nappy-headed hos is a joke in itself.
He calls the media hypocritical and tells people to get over this thing. In the end, he'll probably get a show on Sirius and make even more money than he is now. I used to like his show although I didn't watch it every day, but I sincerely doubt anything he ever does will be as good as he's done before because he's been too wounded.
