IMUS CANNED!!

Fenian: Well, we only thought we knew what "sexual relations" meant. Thanks, sir, for clearing that up.


And of course, one time they were right and we were wrong. Or were they?

Great words to live by with respect to politics.

 

I was just gonna say, "cool - we can yawn now?!" (no punning reference to Yawn intended)

Then I realized they were imported yawns. I'm so disappointed.... :'(

 

The new Gibberish-To English translator seems to be working splendidly.
This time it came out,"Don't waste time with foofs."

 

Then are you leaving the board for good, FenPhen?

 

What? And lose this brilliant repartee?
Not on your life.
Your oatmeal's ready. You can take your toes out of your ears now.

 

Obviously, your alleged expertise leaves you no room for profit among liberals in the real world, so you might as well stay here where people actually believe you.

 

Colander. Zester me plantains. Scrapple the blintz farmer?

 

This, from the Boston Globe, quoting the most egregious apologist for radio hatemongering, is the giveaway"

"Michael Harrison of Talkers magazine, a trade publication that covers talk radio, agrees that race is the flashpoint here. He disagrees, however, that talk radio has gone too far in pushing the envelope and will police itself more closely now.
"In my opinion, it's a racial tipping point, not a sea change in the talk show climate," Harrison says. Imus's comments became a lightning rod for black leaders like the Rev. Al Sharpton , he says, not just because they demeaned a women's basketball team, but because they touched a nerve among African - Americans who are already debating where the line between artistic license and loathsome epithet should be drawn.
"Talk radio is a great target to take shots at ," Harrison says. "Will this have an effect on the industry? Absolutely, but not for long. When it blows over, everything will go back to normal."

This is what most of the what-about-rap? argument is about, from the white pundit side at least. Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, Ingraham, and the Drug Crazed Sex Tourist don't want their sponsors or the sponsors of their various syndicates looking up close and personal at the kind of poison they spew that the sponsors pay for. (Beck called Katrina survivors scumbags, said he hated the 9/11 widows, and asked a US congressman if he was with "the enemy." He got a job with CNN BECAUSE of this stuff, and not despite it. It, as Harrison says is "normal.") So they toss the rap music stuff around; they've had a lot of practice blaming black people for stuff. It's a reflex for them. This is not to minimize the very real and painful debate within the black community about self-image and self-worth. But if you think Imus's old enablers give a rat's ass about the nuances of that debate, or that the hate-belchers do, you're kidding yourself.
