The wages of idiocy: 5 years, $25-$40M
Drugged-out, ex-hippie Hillary-haters rejoice. Your guru, Don Imus, will be back on the radio waves being “not funny” again beginning Monday, December 3.
Apparently, making tasteless jokes about Rutgers women’s basketball teams has a price tag: A six-month or so vacation, and a move to a bigger, broader radio network in the form of ABC Radio, as well as a five-year deal that will pay him between $25 and $40 million.
Now, I’m not in the Democratic camp that says people - especially talk radio people - should lose their jobs for making idiot statements. But I’m not sure it should merit a raise, either.
While some folks have a mind full of sharp, Dell memory quality recall, apparently there are plenty of folks who are lumping Imus in with “right wing talk radio.”
Except Imus is not right wing. I mean, sure, he’s anti-Hillary. But so’s half the country, including Barack Obama (who’s unlikely to make nice with Imus after the Rutgers incident), John Edwards, Algore, etc… Imus was, is and always will be a liberal.
But beyond politics, the more important note is that Imus was, is and always will be an ass.
