IMUS: Why don't you like Huckabee? Because you're gay, or what?

McCORD: Oh, come on, what the hell was that?

RUFINO: What is that?

McCORD: Where did that come from? Jeez.

IMUS: I don't know.

RUFINO: Stand by for the drive-by.

IMUS: Charles made -- Charles made --

McCORD: Oh God.

SEVERIN: I would like to make another admission on the Imus in the Morning program. I am, I am very happy, yes. And no, I would think that would make me -- I would think that would make me like Huckabee, think a little different than what I see of this guy.

IMUS: Here's what you have to wonder, is here I am picking on poor Jay Severin, who couldn't be more loyal to me --

McCORD: No.

IMUS: -- unless he were Sean Hannity, who was magnificent in his support of me, and I don't know why I'm being mean to you. But, so I apologize.

SEVERIN: I knew I wasn't calling into, you know, C-SPAN.

end of quote

Let's see. Gay is bad, Huckabee and Hanity are good. About sums it up. No Democrat should go on that show. None.

3. Severin wets his pants at the mention of Romney.

If you've ever had the displeasure of listening to him when he's talking about Romney you'll know what I mean.

Don Imus

Donnie McClurkin

Linda Short

John Matthews

Harold Mayberry

Darrell Jackson

They're all homophobes. Condemn them all or shut up about it. That's what I've been saying.

5. Who's Imus?

I turn on my radio, he isn't there...I turn on the TV, he's not there either. So even if I wanted to hear what this asshat was saying I could't. And that's fine with me.

No matter what an asshat Imus is, he's not a Hannity or a wingnut. I've seen him go after Repugnicans just as much as Democrats. His show may appeal to a 15 year old male...it's stupid radio, but not the same as the talking point-based shows you hear all over the hate radio dial.

Remember, Imus did help Clinton in '92 and for some of the candidates they find an appearance on his show to be beneficial. Don't like that Dodd or Biden goes on the show, take that into consideration when you cast your primary vote.

6. He's the one who called Rutger's women's b-ball team

"nappy headed ho's". That's the asshat in question.
