Thread Name: BS: Don Imus replacment
Subject: RE: BS: Don Imus replacment
I have liked Don Imus since the 60s when he was so drugged and drunk that he was constantly being penalized, fired and re-hired because he brought in the ratings. Fond memories of detouring away from the 59th Street Bridge because Imus announced a serious problem - turned out to be Moby Worm, one of his characters. I was pissed! And late for work.
Billy Sol Hargis - "Put your hands on the radio and you shall be saved!" Along with Bar-B-Que communion wafers for the black congregation.
He is opinionated and egotistical but it is fun to see him ask questions of top politicians like "How many Congressman have to vote in favor for a bill to be passed?" They never know and they get very angry. But they keep coming back.
At his worst he doesn't come close to Howard Stern's filthy look at the world.
His suspension will cost them ratings and listeners. Tempest in a tea pot.
