RIP Don Imus

God, every word of this is spot on. I worked for a guy like that, a true sociopath who was even worse because he had an enabler who turned a blind eye or ignored his horrific behavior or believed "you did something to deserve it". You're right, they will ruin you, make your life completely fucking miserable and do it for laughs, just to show they can.

 

If you have SiriusXM, Stern opened his show with Imus since it’s their first show since he died. He pulled no punches and had audio clips of what Imus said.

 

I don’t have SiriusXM but I’ll have to see if anyone posted it online. I was very curious about how Stern would react.

 

He said he had been friends with the guy early on but that ended when he called Robin and the one receptionist the N-word. They then played a clip of Imus calling in to Stern’s show and calling Robin a “spear chucker” on the air.

 

Do you know my ex-wife?

 

We're all cousins here.

 

RIP, Jake

 

Erroneous. But thanks for sharing a reputable source.

 

What is the accurate story? I know he talked about growing up on a ranch.

 

WTF? Not the oldest callback, but might be the weirdest.

 

There was another thread where Imus came up.

Imus' crew (mainly Bernie) made fun of Clinton but it was largely in jest. Bernie later twisted off into MAGA hateful lunacy before he hopped in the handbasket and punched the down button.

 

TIL that Jon Corzine wrecked out while going to meet Imus and the Rutgers women's team.
