What are the odds that Keith will call Imus the Worst Person in the World

[NightWatcher]

I'm thinking that he might do it, after his being suspended from radio and tv.

1. He just may do it now that he's been suspended.

I think MSNBC would okay it. But knowing Keith, he would say that label isn't good enough for Imus.

2. he wasn't suspended from radio (not that i've heard, at least)

cbs owns the radio station imus is on and i don't think they have commented on this yet.

msnbc will not be airing the simulcast for two weeks
they don't have anything to do with the radio show

--that's my understanding

3. they just did a few minutes ago, effective the 16th for 2 weeks

4. i just heard david gregory announce that! well, it's a good start! n/t

5. I can see him making it a news story

and thus skipping the WPITW issue.

For the record, Dan Patrick asked him about it on the radio earlier today and I recorded it. I will transcribe it here later. But he was very careful about what he said, saying he didn't support Imus and has refused to appear on his show for a long time, but that it was not his place to say what MSNBC should do about him. (Keith has learned his lesson about telling management what to do.) Dan put him on the spot and asked him "Would you be calling for him to be fired if he didn't work for MSNBC?" and he admitted that yes, he would.

6. Perhaps, but O'Really seems to always come up w/some unbelievably offensive stuff,

as does Limpballs, Darth VaPer, Gonzo, Jack Kingston, Ted Stevens & various others. Imus has a lot of competition!
