Don Imus is Ousted
Once MSNBC refused to simulcast Don Imus' radio show, it was only a matter of time. Amidst the flurry of activity since Don Imus made inappropriate comments about the Rutgers women's basketball team on his radio show, which included fleeing advertisers, MSNBC's decision to cancel, and Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson meeting with CBS' President and CEO Leslie Moonves, comes the announcement that Imus is out.
I don't feel bad for Don Imus. He was kind of a jerk to Howard Stern on Howard's way up (according to Private Parts, Stern's movie) and Imus had a tendency towards remarks aimed at groups like the "liberal elite media." And really, the next release of information from Imus' camp will probably outline the details of his new gig. I'm guessing he ends up on-line or a couple of doors down from Howard, on satellite radio. Either way, I'm sure we'll be subjected to more of his nonsense over the airwaves by the end of summer.
