Sistuh Liar? Imus Crew Debriefs 2008 NYC NABJ Awards.
(Provided by BruceTube)
Imus Crew attended the NYC NABJ 2008 Awards ceremony with WABC suits on 2/13/2008. NABJ 2008 accomplishment? Getting Imus off the air. Try as they might, NABJ could not keep the I-man off the air!
During the on-air discussion journalist (?) Gwen Ifill called a liar by Imus….

With regards to #2 –
Unlike the last drive by, MMFA reported Rob Bartlett as “In character as “Billy Clayton”.
MMFA failed to appreciate or acknowledge the “Imus in the Morning Radio Theater on the Air” performance satirical basis. The performance presents the David Shuster “Pimped Out” remark in the context Hillary Clinton campaign imagined and HRC complained to MSNBC about, 180 degrees from the original.
MMFA plays a single humorless left chord, absolutely tone deaf.
“We are laughing at you not with you” – PT Bartman
ChanX
Satire is wasted on the stupid…
WHAT?!??!!! Life isn’t fair??? When did this start??? Who do they think they are? The nerve of some people…
“…satire is protected speech, even if the object of the satire doesn’t get it.” Al Franken
The whole version of Episode two is my newest YT presentation along with the MMFA link as mentioned by Harley.
Since I have been extricated from MMFA I cannot rebuke their senseless arguement regarding the Satire.
Humorless Git’s as STDOMSgrl would say.
Now to our Female members and posters the following is a 40 second excerpt from the Today show.
Do you know the Station NBC that has Al Roker the Joker. And Phil Griffin who told Imus to go on the Al Sharpton radio program to apologize.
This is the most offensive word in my opinion depicting a female body part. I believe that NBC should be fined for their inept way they allow things like this to get out on the air waves. Even if it was a slip of the tongue.
Jane Fonda discussing the “C” word.
Bruce, Yesterday you had some harsh comments for Donaldinks. I was surprised since Donald has defended you consistantly. Friends like Donald are hard to find. I don’t remember him ever treating you unkindly.
Donald, I’d want you in my foxhole any day!
At somepoint everyone realizes Media Matters For America has a shelf life right? MMFA has mission to earn a salary, it isn’t that they don’t get satire, they ignore the context. How long is MMFA going to keep recieving Soros Dollars, when they can’t deliver anything and second when the Democrats pick their canidate. (Who needs them anymore?) Does anyone think with their track record that the Left will somehow revamp them? I think they already have competition in other left leaning orgs that can show achievements…think about it the Kossack is writing for Newsweek…Move on voted for Obama for their canidate…MMFA what have you done for the cause lately? except suck up dollars, that could be used else where. Do I hear a clock ticking? Huffington Post could serve as the same vehicle for the Dems as MMFA and the Dems could save money you know consolidate like NBC did with MSNBC. Huffington Post already has viewers they add one more section to the online newsletter…call it the media monitor coupon page 🙂
What you considered Harsh words to Donald Inks were warranted. And Donald is my friend and knows how to get in touch with me off group.
So what you perceived as harsh were my way of saying if he had something to say to me that had nothing to do with this group, it was between him and I and no one else.
Appreciate your comments on this. But I cannot say I am sorry for saying what I said.
And why in this thread are you bringing this up?
Without sounding too harsh with you but telling you how I feel is truly none of your business. Thank you.
Bruce, I wanted to comment yesterday but could not get logged on. Perhaps you should have emailed Donald about your feelings instead of writing them on a public forum. I was just making an observation. I have been reading your comments since last April, and donaldinks is the only person who defends you.
This is the funniest thing, I have seen in awhile about Hillary Clinton’s campaign..Michelle Malkin re did five for fightings “Superman” it’s not easy being me …re Hillary Clinton it’s not easy. They changed the lyrics hot air put this together Michelle sang the remake.
http://michellemalkin.com/2008/02/15/superdelegate-its-not-easy/
I’m sure Bruce and Donald will work this out. (At least that is my strong desire) Sure this is all a misunderstanding.
laree,
In all good humor there is truth. LMAO that is good. Thanks for the link. Poor, poor HRC.
I’m praying this latest poll regarding Texas is accurate. If so, HRC is toast.
http://americanresearchgroup.com/
Correct Channel,
This was a misunderstanding. We both were right and both were wrong.
So non interested parties should drop it or we will make a Mountain out of a mole hill.
Just read the transcript again and I would like to see Media Matters try to use this to do some damage. It’s really pathetic that they just sit around and listen for folks to screw up. GET A LIFE!
This is another one I found, this on the Pipes Imusmash up
honestly after that last radio theater, they could take a four day weekend.
I’ll see your shuster and raise you an Imus…
http://media.nationalreview.com/post/?q=OWNkMjFkNjc1OGM3MjJhOTExZjBlYmYxNGYwNGU3YmE=
Imus, hope you are feeling better soon.
I so wish folks would get off the Media Matters Obsession. They are old news —- they have all the followers they are going to get and that’s it. Nobody cares about them anymore. They have become a “caricature” of themselves.
Better to ignore them.
Media Matters don’t matter anymore {if they ever did matter}. They’re a mob of humorless gits.
True Skiwolf, but someone has to watch the I-Man’s back. I checked on there and they haven’t mentioned the Today Show situation at all. Hope yall enjoy Deirdre’s new article:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/deirdre-imus/losing-another-winnable-w_b_86841.html
Harley,
I posted Michelle Malkin’s blog about Jane’s vocab choices yesterday last blog. Marty Davis has been blogging about it also and here is one we all have been having a discussion about, Just what is MSNBC anyway? Marty, mentions Jane Fonda again.
http://chickaboomer.blogspot.com/2008/02/msnbcs-identity-crisis.html
It is all about who you are that decides what you can say and remember Jane was on the today show so National tv not Cable tv, like Shuster ect..
Media Matters will not have much to do after November of next year.
But right now they are attacking MSNBC and NBC more then anyone else.
Significant they were. Now they are just like a mosquito flying around your head. They just bother the hell out of you.
The BruceTube is good. Relatively short covers the 4 minutes or so the Imus Crew was talking about the NYC NABJ meeting. Couple of yucks in there, worth listening to if you haven’t clicked on it yet.
Thanks Bruce
Your Welcome Channel,
Now here is what Media Matters is so up in arms about regarding the “Imus Radio on the Air” Segment.
Take 1 and 2 are here. Enjoy and spread it around.
Bruce…I don’t know why you chose to go after me for providing a video link in the last thread.
It wasn’t meant to upstage your fine , creative work…on YouTube presentations.
Your exact quote to me regarding your creative production is as follows:
“Guess you forgot that the video you provided of the interview about Tucker Carlson defending Contessa Brewer was first reported by me on YouTube awhile back when I was posting on Imus Truth. It was not a Video but a graphic representation of the whole discussion.”
“You provided on your CD’s the audio for this. Something seems to be missing in your memory.”
In other words, without my audio clip…your YouTube clip would not have been possible…
Another exact quote from you states:
“Either you were not a fan of mine at that time or you were not paying attention.”
I have been ,and always will be a FAN of Don Imus. I was unaware of your “Fan Club”.
Yes…I do pay attention…
In your own words:
“Now at one time you were a good friend. But seem to have fallen off the bandwagon in some way.”
No…I still consider you to be your friend…and have been…through thick and thin, been one of your staunchest defenders.
Your last “command” to me?
“Please pay attention.”
Don’t ever tell me what to do again in a public forum…or that “friendship” is, at best, at risk.
I pondered, for quite some time over just emailing you, to straighten this out…or at least try and figure out where your mind was when you wrote those posts. Alas, you chose to do this in a public forum…which, in the future…should be left to personal emailing, sparing the rest of the fine posters here the drama.
That being said… (in the words that Spock spoke to Admiral Kirk in “The Wrath Of Khan”)….
“The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few…or the one…..I have been, and always shall be, your friend.”
Peace.
By the way Bruce: EXCELLENT job on the YouTube at the top of this thread. Top notch work! 😉
This site should change it’s name to “As the Imus Fan World Turns”. This is pathetic.
I posted it first, no I did, no I did, no I did…….Judge Judy is calling.
LMAO…We don’t need Judge Judy skiwolf…lol…just clarity of the issues at hand…but I understand your take…
…doesn’t belong here on the forum. Thanks for your comment. 😉
All is well in Imusville again. Donald knows it and I know it.
Life continues as usual with or without me. But life is much better with us all being together, working as a team.
Thank you Donald for understanding my positions. Nothing more needs to be said.
all will be well after Imus comes back monday! This morning sucked.
I hear we have to wait until Tuesday.. dang, is this true??? aarrgh..
Yeah, this morning sucked except for the reruns of Imus interviews. I enjoyed the one with Carl Berstein . I hadn’t heard that one before.
Aside from the interviews, Warner was the saving grace.
I sure hope I-man gets better soon!
Bruce, that is a very good BruceTube clip re: NABJ. Thank you.
Maybe it was because he was sick at the time, but Imus sounded still so hurt by it all and very remorseful.
I liked the way Tony and Karith were pretty positive, sensitive, and truthful as they talked to Imus about their experience there that night.It was probably somewhat hard for them to be there. As Karith said, probably a lot of the people there didn’t want to clap for wabc because of peer pressure.
I think NABJ are kidding themselves when patting themselves on the back for that one.
where did you hear about tuesday? who said?
What we saw on Thursday, was yet another example of the unbelievable “pussification” of Don Imus. Apparently Imus is so pussy whipped by WABC, that he will once again, trow his buddy McCain under the bus, in a sad attaempt to score brownie points with Limbaugh/Hannity, and that ols, shrew Laura Ingraham. Imus claimed they all had “legitimate points” about McCain, which is setting up John for the same “support” Imus gace John Kerry…IE. NONE.
It is also apparent that Imus is now officially on the Obama bndwagon, in a sickening attempt to try an get back in the good graces of the black community. The only two constants in Imus’s life these days, appear to be “sickness” and “cowardice”. When Imus isn’t attacking Hillary Clinton for being naieve on the Iraq war (apparently Imus prefers the “we will stay in Iraq for 100 years” plan of John McCain), he is leg humping Obama, or Roger Clemens. Imus is a disgrace, and a perfect example of “human garbage”.
Funny how Imus fart, failed to mention that Hillary was announced the winner of the NM primary. As a New Mexican myself, I thought about Imus on Feb 5th when I cast by vote for Hillary…and I thought about how the old, sick, dirtbag has ZERO influence in his adopted state:)
HA HA.
Wicked Devin79 ~ 🙂
Glad to see New Mexico is on top of their game this year. It only took them 10 days to report the primary results for their loosing choice.
He He.
Imustimes:
In reference to Iman returning on Tuesday, the 19th, it was posted on top of the screen on RFD at 6am this past Friday.
Dev: Very colorful language. But I do not agree that Imus has changed his position. I still hear McCain is his man even as he “scans the environment” of other opinions. Nor do I agree that he lacks courage. Imus has more courage than most people, as evidenced by his willingness to change when change is dictated by circumstance.
“Courage to Change” is from the Serenity Prayer which has a message for everyone. It requires more “courage to change” than it does to be stubborn and nasty, or dig in one’s heels, or build resentments, or sit on one’s pity pot, or foment and plot about “no good” people who “done you dirty.” No, the real courage is to take a good hard look at oneself, admit wrong doing (or wrong thinking) and then make changes. Awareness, acceptance, action. Unless, of course, one is already sitting at the pinnacle of perfection. In that case one would have already died and gone to heaven and be sitting up there with the other angels.
I love everyones positive commments. To go forward in life you must be optomistic not pessimistic.
To refuse the obvious will create a hatred within yourself that is overwhelming. And can also be the cause of you snapping and have little regard for a human beings life including your own.
Take for example the gunmen at the department strore in Illinois.
I hope the message is received loud and clear from Maine through New Mexico onto the Pacific ocean.
God bless us everyone.
Too Funny Devin79, has Imus induced Tourettes 🙂
Hillary won NM finally because it was sooo close they couldn’t call it for days. In the meantime how many states has Obama won in a row? That did get the Media’s attention because that is actually news worthy.
Well a day late and a dollar short but The Former President Bill Clinton get’s it and responds but it should have been his wife Senator Hillary Clinton making this point.

Devin79, last time I looked this is a “support imus” site.
Uh, what are you doing here? You obviously enjoy stirring the pot. I’m sure there are plenty of hate imus sites. Don’t you won’t to go play over there?
Nah, it’s more fun being a bully, isn’t it?
You seem to spend a lot of time listening to someone you think is a pussy, coward, and human garbage.
God bless you and the rest us.. we all sure need it.
While we all wait till Tueday for Imus to return I have placed a new presentation up on You Tube.
Don Imus and Warner Wolf discuss the hearings regarding Roger Clemens and the Steroid Debacle. Listen carefully to Don Imus’ breathing. He is off till Tuesday. I am not a religious person but believe we must say a little prayer for his Health.
Forgive the timing problems with the presentation. About 2 seconds off.
Thank you Ginger
Worried about Imus too – I heard that “labored breathing,” some on Wednesday, worse on Thursday. I’m sure Dr. Deirdre is making him rest this long weekend…hope so…
Off to see Gordon Lightfoot in concert tonight… That there was good music…I’ll let you know how he was… 🙂
you have to wonder about anyone acting overly tough(devin) on a blog while sitting at home in their undies…
thanks for the clip Bruce.
devin, Imus is not on the Obama bandwagon. He was considering outloud the rationale for supporting Obama. But you really can’t say anything without pissing someone off.
But as a Hillary supporter I can see why even the hint of Obama support would get you angry, as the dream slips away. A woman friend of mine has a great line on Hillary: “Can’t wait to have a woman president, just not this woman!”
So, a little mini-comeback on Tuesday. Thanks for the info donald…
Just got in…met up with friends post-concert (subtract one hour from this post-time for Central Time Zone effect) …Gordon Lightfoot was awesome…
C ‘Ya… 🙂
Impact of Talk Radio seems to be more coincidence then influence. Lets say there is a Talker with an audience of 10 Million people who are of generally like minds. The audience tunes in for the topics presented and to hear the opinions expressed. But this doesn’t mean they will follow Talker in lockstep.
Example, Rush, Hannity, Levin and Ingraham all came out against McCain claiming “true conservatives” don’t support him. Yet polls show true conservatives voting for McCain. If the Talkers were able to influence their audience McCain his “true conservative” vote would be closer to 0%.
Sorry D79 Imus is not Hillary’s problem repeat after me… “Its Obama Stupid”
Some years ago while playing spades on line, I happened across the following site with descriptions and caricatures of different internet “types”. It’s called Flame Warriors.
Pretty humorous stuff. Anyhow, if you’ve never seen it, enjoy. Kind of relevant given some recent posts.
http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/index.htm
Interesting Site Skiwolf. Sorry to see our D79 isn’t listed. But sometimes we just have to sit back and enjoy the rantings of a person looking for attention.
Thanks
Well Bruce I think he is listed. Try this one and see if it fits.

Good find, Ski. Thorough compendium, though I haven’t studied them all. I’ve found four “me’s” already. We’ll all have endless fun taking one another’s inventory and figuring out where we “fit.” No one is immune. My favorites: Evil Clown, Big Cat, Pithy Phrase, Blowhard, Therapist, Centurion, Grenade, and of course…FAN BOY…let’s face it, our raison d’etre. Let’s go with the joke and see how many stereotypes we can cram into one thread? Without our collection of provocateurs, these pages would be dull, boring…or blank.
Frec,
That is so true, I appreciate Devin ## (Sign of the Beast) yes I have his number.
The last time I went to a Gordon Lightfoot concert, was back in the mid 70s, he was still drinking and he was playing Harry Adams Field House UM in Missoula, Montana, and the acustics in that building were never good…so we all are clapping and shouting enjoying his performance…he gets on the mic and tells us all to shut up, he is trying to hear his feedback from the back of the auditorium….He reminds me of Imus, shut up people, I am trying to work here 🙂
I had seen that Flame Warriors site before and it really nails the characters and characteristics of message boards. It really helped me when a friend of mine had sent it to me. I was having lots of trouble on a message board with some people ( it was an extremely liberal message board – I’m not sure I should have been there in the first place..ha) and reading Flame Warriors really put it all into perspective for me.
I found myself listed under several categories.. LOL
I should know better than to respond to someone who is obviously seeking attention—not caring if it’s positive or negative — just attention.. sad, really.
New Gallup Poll:
“PRINCETON, NJ — For several days, nationwide Democratic voters’ preferences have been shifting toward Barack Obama in Gallup Poll Daily election tracking. Now, the Illinois senator enjoys his first statistically significant lead, 49% to 42%, over Hillary Clinton, according to the Feb. 13-15 results. Additionally, the 49% support for Obama represents the high point for him in the daily tracking program.”

Sorry, in advance, if my last post came up twice. Having trouble with the posting system here.
Sista Toldjah, take on latest speech about Obama,
http://sistertoldjah.com/archives/2008/02/16/michelle-obama-barack-is-the-only-man-who-can-heal-this-nation-and-fix-our-souls/
This has been the discussion on Michelle Malkin too. PT, pointed out a blog on Huffington Post by Barbara, (Unstoppable Obama)…this idea of Obama as the Savior is dangerous. The Huffington Post blog, used words like atonement and redemption. Obama is appealing to alot of people it behoves the far left, not to turn them off of Obama, suggesting somehow Americans are voting for Obama from FEAR, GUILT and SHAME. Obama has started struming the chord that is with in Americans, it is the American Spirit NOT the American Soul….I wouldn’t turn off the religious people who are voting for Obama by trying to subsititute him, a man and politician for their Savior..whatever their religion. Obmania is about this proposition: Lets turn the Page – America responds by voting for Obama, A Page Turner not a Messiah. The MSM has not heard that chord played in awhile, the appeal to the American Spirit so they don’t reconginize Obama playing the chord or the response to the chord. I hope this rhetoric about America’s wounded or broken Soul and Obama as the American Savior? doesn’t backfire. The left isn’t tracking with the rest of the American electorate, they are not being careful with the verbage they are choosing, this may appeal to secularist but I doubt the religious appreciate this kind of comparrison and they are trending Obama too.
To see what Harold Ickes thinks of the American primary votes: quote: “irrelevant”…
go to the article by Joe Gandelman entitled “Gallup Poll: Obama Opens “First Statistically Significant Lead” Against Clinton”.
It truly shows the arrogance of the Clintons.
Go to: themoderatevoice.com and scroll down to the article.
Unbelievable….
Ree…
I honestly think the American people are seeing through the “smoke-screens” and are sick of the divisiveness.
It is, to me quite refreshing.
You are correct on your take:
“Lets turn the Page – America responds by voting for Obama, A Page Turner not a Messiah. ”
Key words are: Turn The Page. Many Americans are looking forward, not pinning for the past. People are desperate for a new mind-set, and a different, hopefully better way to do things.
Here are Harold Ickes comments on the irrelevancy of primary voters….from Fox News:
http://youdecide08.foxnews.com/2008/02/16/top-clinton-adviser-says-superdelegates-will-decide-election-obamas-victories-irrelevant/
Donaldinks,
The American Spirit is still alive not because it hasn’t been negelected by jaded politicians but in spite of jaded politics as usual. The MSM is mis reading the sound, It isn’t our Souls it is our Spirits. Obama isn’t using the tired cliched “American Spirit” in his speechs, he is strumming the chord…and the vote for him is the response, the American electorate we hear you..you struck our chord. Obama is smart he knows what he is and what he is doing. The idea though that so many have turned out to vote for him out of fear, guilt and shame, instead of the more likely, the American Spirit responding with Okay I am curious, I am not afraid, lets turn the page….these bloggers mis reading the appeal of Obama, they don’t get that the American Spirit isn’t dead it isn’t even dormant…it was just waiting and by the response it looks like it was more then ready for A Page Turner. I don’t know if Obama can win in Nov., but the Amercian Spirit inside of me says, why not give him a shot?
Funny about Howard Ickes…
He sat on the Democratic rules committee and voted in favor to penalize Michigan, and Florida by stripping them of their delegates if they broke the party rules…and now?
“He also said Michigan and Florida, which voted for Clinton, should have delegates seated at the convention, even though he originally voted with the national party last year to strip the delegates because the states violated party rules by holding early primaries.” (from the above Fox News report).
THIS is just one more example of why people want to “Turn The Page”.
Ree:
I agree 100%.
Maybe, a better way to think of it would be:
The soul of our Country and Nation is the American Spirit. That “can do” attitude. If we get behind a leader that is willing to harness that great energy, and solve so many of our problems…together…”yes, we can”.
I honestly think, as I said before,…the American people are sick to death of the divisiveness that has brought no solutions to problems. United, as a people…with the common goal of working together to solve our problems…that is what the American people are starting to come around to.
United, we stand…Divided…?
Laree:
Thank you for your “Lightfoot moment.” All the better to appreciate his artistry. Last night he “played nice” – appreciative of the “packed house” we gave him and very complimentary of the venue – the historic landmark Alabama Theatre.
Your Imus-comparisons are valid – I found my mind wandering in that direction several times – right down to his still-slim, long-legged, “Western-style,” folk-hero silhouette. Uncanny, really. In another poignant way too: the legendary baritone has waned. You knew it was him, but a shadow of the former, and a sad reminder of the ravages of time and illness he has endured. What a transitory world we live in, much as we want it “nailed down permanently” for all times. My lesson: live in the present; be grateful for what is.
The following is a Pando link. This is only for those with a fast internet connection and a curiosity.
This documentary is an alleged true account regarding William Jefferson Clinton while in the Governors Mansion and finally in the White House in 1993.
The name of this is “The Clinton Chronicles” Some of the final facts are rebuked by Snopes as being false. However it does give a perspective on the Hillary/Bill Clinton Machine and what power they yield in the media and on supporters/non supporters of their campaigns. You could call it theory or myth. But it does make some sense.
I watched this Video in it’s entirety. And though I am not a Hillary supporter, it did shed light on what power they yield with voters and those that have gone against them.
Please accept this as a Conspiracy Theory. But look at it with open eyes. It is in WinRar form and will take that program to extract it. In it’s present form it is 222MB’s.

I am not supporting this or making it my decision not to vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton, but it is an eye opener.
Thanks
Folks I have used this word on this site before. The word is ENTITLEMENT.
The Clintons feel entitled to power. They pathologicaly believe they know better and can help us.
The Clintons will do anything to obtain power and anything to keep it.
The Clintons are Evil people.
LOL I guess that makes it clear how I feel about The Clintons.

Right on ChanX, Obama is Hillary’s problem, not Imus.
Before this thread is history, that’s actually a funny bit with Imus and Karith & Tony about the awards ceremony. I don’t think anything “surprised” the I-Man. It’s okay that he didn’t “jump ugly” as Tony quipped. All part of the cycle of redemption. This too shall pass. Imus will reclaim his rightful place. All those who castigate him now will one day acclaim his courage, even if grudgingly. If they are honest, that is.
This has nothing to do with Imus. But Al Sharpton is so starved for media attention now he is into the steroid controversy saying there is racial bias in that too.
http://www.eurweb.com/story/eur40988.cfm
Al Sharpton is about as relevant as a Cockroache. Everyone has them in their house, but you only see them when it’s dark and nothing is going on.

Follow the 2nd link to the third one if you wish to listen
Bill and Hillary
I’m sure this one will warm your little taxpayer heart.
If Hillary wins in 2008 and Bill is ‘appointed’ to fill her Senate seat and
either live to retire ‘they’ (together or alone) would get two US
Presidential retirement checks, two US Senate retirement checks, and a
retirement check from the State of Arkansas. About the only thing they
MIGHT NOT get is a Social Security check….but I wouldn’t bet on
it…
I understand Bill has earned $40,000,000 in the past six years.
What a guy!
AND THE REST OF THE STORY… Hilarious Rotten Clinton, as a New York
State Senator, now comes under the ‘Congressional Retirement and
Staffing Plan,’ which means that even if she never gets reelected, she
STILL receives her Congressional salary until she dies. (Would it not be
nice if all Americans were pension eligible after only 4 years?)
If Bill outlives her, he then inherits HER salary until HE dies.
He is already getting his Presidential salary until he dies. If Hillary
outlives Bill, she also gets HIS salary until she dies. Guess who pays for
that?
It’s common knowledge that in order for her to establish NY residency,
they purchased a million dollar-plus house in upscale Chappaqua, New
York. Makes sense!
They are entitled to Secret Service protection for life.
Still makes sense.
Here is where it becomes interesting. Their mortgage payments hover
at around $10,000 per month. BUT, an extra residence ‘had’ to be built
within the acreage to house the Secret Service agents.
The Clintons charge the Federal government $10,000 monthly rent
for the use of that extra residence, which is about equal to their mortgage
payment. This means that we, the taxpayers, are paying the Clinton’s
salary, mortgage, transportation, safety and security, as well as the
salaries for their 12 man staff — and, this is all perfectly legal!
As she runs for President, will YOU vote for her?
The catchphrase is “and this is all perfectly legal!”
So should we be angry at the Clintons or with the laws?
I consider these types of things when judging anything. Someone got angry at me because when my mother-in-law went on Medicaid, my children were allowed to keep their college money inheritance because it was only a three-year lookback a few years ago and they were given the money four years before. My response to this person was that it was perfectly legal and if she was angry she use her anger to get the laws changed and not be angry with me!
As we all know Imus in not on today. And Mark Simone and George Weber they took off due to Presidents day. Don’t they know Imus is ill? This irritates the hell out of me.
The following was sent to me by a friend. It is a little political and a little long. Not too long and is not talking about Republicans or Democrats.
Something we should be thinking about before we cast our vote.
Just a little on the political side.

My family was in Prattville when the tornados hit in fact they were in their house. My mom and sister stayed in a hotel last night in Montgomery and my brother in law went to stay at his sister’s house in Montgomery with the pets who all made it. The house is a loss…two vehichles survived a truck and a suv gone, my brother in law had a tri fold it is like a pontoon boat. The thing is he had it docked a couple years back at Clarks Landing in Autaguville, it was destroyed, he got the insurance money, bought the boat back, fixed it and then decided to park it at their house…well it got destroyed again. They are going back today to see what they can salvage. I watched the weather updates and I did see the weather box over Montgomery, Alabama but I am so used to seeing a tornado warning or watch for that part of the country. I wasn’t taking what Janice Dean said with alot of attention….dangerous storms passing through. Pratville is a big a mess.

Laree:
Sad to hear your family’s dislocation and damage from the storms. The same storm was overhead here (80 miles north of there) and it was fierce…I can only imagine how scary that was in the tornado zone. Glad they’re not hurt…hope the house can be fixed.
Ree,
A loss like that is hard to imagine. I will say a prayer for your family.
So many memories possibly lost. But that person upstairs does perform miracles.
No loss of life is the most important thing.
God Bless You.
Thank you Bruce and Frec,
Yes they are okay but no they think the house will be demolished. The Kmart in the CNN story being turned into a 35 bed mobile hospital…that is right in front of the subdivision they were living in. I took my mom to that Kmart, when I was there it is maybe a 1 mile away? My brother in law was going in today to see the extent of the damage. My eldest sister was just down there last week, it was my sister Mary and her husband Johnny’s wedding aniversary so they left town to have some time to themselves. My eldest sister stayed with our Mom. My sister had closed her office when she went through cancer treatment so alot of her papers were stacked together in boxes. They are all okay and the pets too. They just need to make sure they have all their meds ect. Prattville was actually one of those Alabama townships, that was booming, last couple of years, they were seeing alot of businesses and build up.
Frec, I noted even as early as yesterday morning that tornado watch box over Montgomery, Fox News – Janice Dean’s warning. I have just noted the samething so many times it didn’t sink in, last weeks tornados through Tennessee ect now this…this is going to be a really bad storm season.
Thank you for your prayers, I do believe in prayer.
Ree
Laree:
I understand about the storm watch’s and the warnings…I try to follow them closely and even I missed this one until the storm was over our head. I was on the phone with my son, and I said I have to get off now.
If you had been aware, you would have been anxious and afraid about something you were powerless over. So God was taking care of you as He was taking care of them.
I echo Bruce words about the memories. I pray they will build anew – the home and the memories…:)
Love,
Laree,
I’m so sorry to hear about your family’s ordeal in Prattsville.
I’m glad for you that they are safe. It’s true that lifetime memories are lost in events such as that, but still, things, for the most part can be replaced. Lives can’t. Life is so fragile….just one more reason to appreciate and value the moment.
Love and prayers
Ginger
Ree..
Our prayers are with you and your family. Thank God all of the family (including pets) are safe. But, what an ordeal to have to suffer through. As Bruce pointed out…some of the things you really don’t think of much in everyday life become very treasured…especially when lost forever. Our hearts go out to all of your family. I hope that the family can recover some of those treasures from this disaster.
For the last 2 years…I have been worried sick over losing my home to the mortgage company…the house where I raised my two daughters since they were 3 and 5…until they “grew up” and moved on.
It now, I am afraid, looks to be inevitable. I was lucky enough to move out before losing all those treasured memorabilia and try and start anew.
Compared to what has happened to you and your family…my problems are not so important…and even infinitesimal in the scheme of life.
Things happen in life to many people…and we look, and watch. When they hit home…well…
Home is where the heart is.
Ree,
I read a great quote that maybe I sent here but maybe not. “The Future is Tomorrow”. One Day that is all. And when that day is done the future becomes the next day etc.
So as your family sifts through what is the remnants of their home remember we do have friends here to support you and your family in Spirit.
Donald said it best. “Home is where the Heart Is”
God Bless

Thanks everyone, I do appreciate your thoughts and prayers, my Mom (79) said, the national gaurd is out and that is making everyone feel better…because stuff is strewn all over the place. I don’t think my brother in law is supposed to have that boat it landed on the truck and explorer, they really are better off then some other folks because they have two vehicles that work. I told my Mom as long as they have their meds and can get to their doctors not to worry about anything because everything else can be replaced…it is stuff. Three rooms were left standing, two bedrooms and the hallway bathroom. God Bless them it could have been much worse.
Thank you again everyone,
Ree
If Imustimes isn’t popular? How come we have 37,226 views? since 9 Jan, a little over a month, Isn’t that alot of hits, for no interest? Eveyone doesn’t post folks, some people just like to read. Every once in awhile one of the readers will post. The Internet is a big place with lots of stuff in it.

You All,
My neice just sent me this and asked me if I could pick out my sister’s house in Prattville, I don’t think I could if I was standing in front of it.
This will give you an idea of the area that got hit and some of the devestation. I can’t pick out a landmark, when these things hit everything looks alike…destroyed.

Hello Ree, My thoughts are with you and your family. Know things will work out well, you are all so strong…YF ChanX
Thanks ChannelX,
I am looking at the photos, I just can’t get a bearing on much, I know where Queens Smith Road is…what a mess. I sent you a photo of them awhile back, their grandson was born about 3 weeks back, and they are all okay, once we knew that everyone was okay and got out to safety, we all relaxed. They have to get my sister some oxgen, like Imus she needs to haul a tank of air around with her.
Their Great Grandson was born 3 weeks back.
MMFA Relevant? It depends. There are a large number of bloggers who follow MMFA repeating attacks reaching the status of “Urban Legend”.
Anderson@Large is a blogger, self described citizen journalist, with credibility who is moving the latest MMFA attack on Imus to viral….
http://andersonatlarge.typepad.com/andersonlarge/2008/02/imus-cant-help.html
WWW. Sheesh! Enough is enough – enough with the Imus bashing already!
Laree,
The Prattville damage is our big local TV news this evening. They are interviewing the residents going through their wrecked homes…maybe I saw a relative of yours and didn’t know it? …looks like heavy police protection of damaged residential and commercial properties. They are rating it a F-3 tornado with winds of 140-150 mph and 3/4-mile wide path, or should I say “swath” of destruction.
ChanX. You are the best! 🙂
Re: “Anderson” and her ilk, they have lost sight that Imus is a comedy show. They are confusing it with “Hardball” or “Tucker” or even “O’Reilly.” None of them are in the business of making people laugh. Imus is. If “Saturday Night Live” had done that skit, the same critics would be ROTFL and exclaiming it brilliant satire. Anderson should click on our friend “College Girl.” Then she might get that it’s comedy, and it too has a point.
Channel,
Where is the place I can post a comment to this idiot. I cannot find it. She needs morning sickness.
Remember Parody is protected by free speech. Nothing can be done about it.
Let me know on or off the site. Sick of people downing Don Imus and the crew.
Back to action group!
Frec
Check the last link from the Montgomery Advertizer I posted check photo 7,23,32,39 We think that is my sister’s house. My daughter googled the old photo of before of her house, you know that google statelite map feature and this one matches…incredible what a computer can do today.
Re: Anderson @ Lage
She missed the whole point of the bit. They were mocking The Clinton “interpretaton” of the Shuster Pimping quote.
Laree,
Keeping good thoughts going toward you and yours.
PTB
Many changes and I am trying to catch up. I have been in and out of the hospital since January and am out of touch with the group and the Imus programs.
Laree, I am thinking of you and yours.
Oh My Goodness. Bella is Back. Thank the good Lord.
Hope you are well and recovering.
Never a dull moment here. We (I say this only because I am here) are doing fine.
And all the News that is fit to print is here for you to review.
Keep well and stay with Imus Times. Best place in town.
Welcome Back Belle Bella,
Glad to see you, gladder to hear your recovering.
Ree, those photos are mind-boggling. Miracle no one died. Looks like it “was” a very nice area. Only time I saw damage like that in person was while living in Texas. That’s why tornados scare me the most.
Bella, hope you can stay a bit…or for good. We’ve missed you and would love having you back. Hope you’re feeling better.
I have really missed all of you. And, thank you, PT and Bruce.
I tuned in to RFD this morning and there was a very cheerful lady making a quilt. I thought, wow, I must have lost more oxygen to the brain than I thought. And supportimus has turned into Imus Times.
I did hear that MSNBC suspended Shuster for some remark. So not everything has changed.
Thank you PT and Bella,
Bella I am glad to see you back, I am sorry to hear you were in the hospital.
Frec, unreal photos huh it is difficult to wrap your head around. My daughter was saying my brother in law was getting overwhelmed, I don’t see how anyone is not overwhelmed on the ground there. My mom said, the response by the local govt., has been really good, she said, the Governor was in Prattville today. Mary and Johnny, used to have this trailor they kept out at Clarks Landing, they kept it out there and my brother in law would dock his boat down there, the last tornado that went through Clarks Landing, took out what I guess I would call a weekend trailor. They didn’t replace it they moved the boat to their house…I guess they could put a trailor back while they rebuild? That was the first time his boat was hit…we think he should just get rid of it apparently it is a tornado magnet!
PT
The Anderson@ large? blog…geeze did she cut and paste that from so many other blogs. I have read it, it isn’t even original. I mean at least if you are going to pile on, she could use her own tired rhetoric. “Parroting” I have read enough Imus bashers to know an original rant when I read it! This one struck me as lazy.
PT, let me know when you have another digital journal article. Does Bella know you are writing for digital journal now?
Ree:
We’re getting more live video from Prattville on the 10 pm news…at eyeball level it’s even more mind-boggling. Incredible to see a pile of bricks that used to be a house, and the house next door seemingly unscathed. No one is emotionally unscathed though. I hope you’ll continue updating us on your family’s progress. Let them know how much we all care about them.
Governor Riley did speak from there today.
Imus is on yea! However Charles has the shingles and came in but was sent home by Imus. George Weber has taken over the New’s duty.
But the I-Man sounds good
I am not an Obama supporter however, I find a comment on our favorite site calling him the Anti-Christ. This was based on a Google search using Obama AntiChrist.
That is way over the top in my opinion. And whoever that poster is should be questioned on the motive behind this interpretation.
While on the Political bandwagon I think Imus might make MMFA today after his comments on the Clintons. In the 8 O’clock hour he truly disparaged Bill Clinton and even brought George Weber into the conversation.
Imus is true to his word. “If you’re not Happy, I’m not Happy”.
Good show so far. But all of them always are and getting better.
Loved the I Man’s Clinton rant this morning. Good stuff.
The Clintons are evil………oh wait I’ve already said that 442 times. Ha!
Laree,
Did you hear Imus play “Sweet Home Alabama” this morning? Maybe that was for Prattville? 🙂
Phone sex with Paul Harvey???????????????? LMAO
Here’s a real interesting point, discuss.
http://garybaumgarten.blogspot.com/2008/02/ripples-of-don-imus-firing-affect-big.html
Took care of that one PTB. CBS blames everything on Imus. They really suck.
I’m in the middle of listening to the replay right now. Imus just had another coughing attack during the Bechloss interview. But Imus does sound better.
I miss Charles. Shingles are very very painful. When one of the group is missing, it messes up the chemistry of the show for me, but still I’m glad all the rest of them are there today.
Bruce, my mom always says ” Life is just a day.”.. and really when you think about it.. that’s all it really is.
DonaldLinks, in my married life of 38 years, we have had severe damage to our homes from flood, fire, and the loss of one home due to financial reasons. I’ve found that life goes on and living with appreciation and gratefulness for what one has, not whine about what one hasn’t, is pretty much the secret of peace of mind.
Ree, I wish your family well. All of you sound like very strong people. I have a feeling your family is going to be a-okay.
Frec, Ginger,
Yes I caught “Sweet Home Alabama” quarter to the last hour. I was just telling my daughter not to worry, her Aunt Matt is going to send us photos later today, when she gets a chance. I think I would be standing in the middle of the mess wondering where to start? Alot of the family work for the City of Prattville in different capcities, their son in law is a Fire man, their grand daughter is a 911 operator. Sometimes being busy helping folks is good thing in lots of ways, helps a person cope with the enormity of the situation. And you know your not in it alone, lots of folks going through the samething. I think if you have a job that has to be performed it also helps you get back to normal faster, you still have your daily routine. I sure hope they don’t give them a FEMA trailor, you know they are recalling the ones on the Gulf Coast post Katrina because of high levels of fermaldahyd.
Wouldn’t it be great if we could hear Mayor Nagin weigh in on this…..Imus my mamma was stayin in one of those trailers.

What’s up with the Anderson chic? Wonder what she does for fun?
Harley,
Not sure if she even knows the meaning of the word. Bt to the left on her page there’s information for “booking” her. Maybe we could take up a collection and pay her to SHUT UP!
Hello all.
Today really did drive home how much Charles means to the program…and I do feel for him. My poor Uncle has suffered from shingles for the past 4 years. It is very painful…and my heart goes out to him. (Actually, both of them!).
…aside from that: todays program was great! Hopefully, the IMAN gets physically better…and mends well. He is my wake up in the morning…along with my coffee and cigarette..LOL.
(I know, I should quit…but I must say: My Grandmother, who will be turning 93 this August…is STILL smoking…and to save money, not just cigarettes…but cheap dollar store “little cigars”…you can’t make this up people…lol. The upside? She is happy. And I am for her. 😉
Donald, your Grandmother must have fantastic genes. You probably inherited them too!
My mom had to give up the cigs, but she still drinks lots of coffee. I introduced her to Imus Ranch coffee – now her favorite blend is the whole bean – she loves that the more she drinks, the more money goes to help the Kids at the Ranch!
I sure wish we could get Andrea Mitchell on with Imus to talk about Castro. She has reportedly interviewed Castro more often than any other American journalist. Andrea says the old guy would not be stepping aside even now if he were not seriously illin’. Of course, what I want to hear is Imus joking with her about sneaking into Castro’s hospital room to “slip something into his IV.” That was funny!
First You Tube of todays show 2/19/08. These occured in the first 75 minutes of the program.
Enjoy if you wish to view. And join You Tube to comment and rate. And please be honest.
Barack wins Wisconsin along with McCain. Down with Satan the frog.
Laree,
Tonight’s Prattville recovery story was about the displaced pets. There are 80-or-so animals at the shelter without their owners. But some are being reunited happily – in some cases, all their owners have left. We’ve been “talkin’ dogs” again on the other site (sad but true)…how much they add to our lives…how much we miss them when they are taken from us 🙂 Softees, all of us.
Good morning and God Bless. ::clears throat::
Well Imus in the Morn’, you decided to take a sick day last Friday, when I was plannin’ on makin’ me triumphant return back to your stupid show, ya raspy-throated sack of elephant dung ya, bejeez.
Someone needs to tell Mike Huckabee to throw in the towel already. Watchin’ him hang on by a pubic hair to his handful of delegates makes me sick to me stomach, bejeez. I caught a picture of him standin’ next to his tank of a wife the other day, Imus in the Morn’ – she makes Barbara Mikulski look like a supermodel. Somebody point her back to the school library she wandered out of. She’s got manhands the size of Roger Clemens’ fake bicpes, God forgive me. I’m not sayin’ she’s ugly Imus in the Morn’ – I’d still prefer to see her in the Hefner mag than, say, Madeline Albright, but even the black Jackie Kennedy, Michelle Obama, would be a nice change and bring hope to lonely and horny men all across the country!
Speakin’ of potential first ladies Imus in the Morn’, did you happen to catch Bill Clinton the other day, rantin’ and ravin’ about the jug-eared mulato with the Jew-hatin’ name takin’ a few words that some other chest-thumpin’ pimp took from our foundin’ documents? But unlike Obama’s supporters faintin’ at rallies, this stainmakin’ douche bag was too busy lettin’ his smallest supporter stay at attention whenever he got around a fat chick with a mouth like an Oreck, bejeez.
Now bow your heads, heathen bastards, and let’s pray: In the name of the father, the son, and the holy ghost, Obama takin’ a position in a speech we want the most, Lord hear our prayer. Lord, we pray that Fidel Castro’s reign ends in a blaze of glory, with a new revolution to come in and unload their fury, Lord hear our prayer. Lord, we pray that Hillary Clinton makes a comeback, instead of takin’ it on the chin from the superdelegates’ coin sacks, Lord hear our prayer. And finally, Lord, we pray the writer’s strike comes to an end and soon, before all the television shows get replaced by stupid cartoons, Lord hear our prayer.
WHICH DOESN’T BELONG AND WHY?!
Which doesn’t belong and why?!
a) Chris Matthews
b) David Shuster
c) Imus in the Morn’
Well the answer is clearly a, droolin’ dingbat Chris Matthews, because unlike the other two idiots, Matthews is the only one who can get away with saying something stupid on MSNBC and not gettin’ his dumb ass suspended or fired for it.
God Bless Us and Save Us!
Well Charles is back…. Imus volunteered to administer his pain medication….. OMG..
Whoever has the ability to post on our other site. Go tell Brian to take a long walk off a short pier.
Why is this “BOY” listening to the program if he hates it so.
Good God…… He is looking for attention or he forgot to take his medication.
Come on Frec you know how to handle people like that.
My second YT will be up soon. It is processing.
Back to YTube… Here is my second part which is in the second 75 minutes of the program. Very interesting attack on the Clintons plus more.
WHY ARE THEY STILL ON IMUS?
http://eng500.blogspot.com/2008/02/racial-tension-and-stereotypes.html
KINDA FEEL LIKE SOME FOLK DON’T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO WRITE, SO THEY BASH IMUS.
ENJOY
Harley,
Here is my reply that posted on the site you mentioned.
“Who are you and what are you talking about? You make no sense whatsoever.
Imus makes a mistake and he is marked for life???? I don’t think so. It is people like you that perpetuate this impression.
Get off your high horse and come back to the real world”.
PEOPLE HAVE NOTHING ORIGINAL TO TALK ABOUT.
Ok Imus ripped me off this morning during the Barnicle interview by using the word “entitlement” to describe the Clintons.
Damn it I want attribuition! Ha!
Hey Ski,
I think you ment attribution. Not attribuition. And by the way entitlement is a pretty common term. Don’t think you can copyright it. LOL
We need spell check, damn it.
Imus is on another Clinton rant this morning. I love it.
They missed his Rant yesterday. But since returning our friends at MMFA have complained about these.
During Imus’ “Radio Theater” segment, character “Billy Clayton” asks “Kelsey” to campaign for “New York Senator Hailey Clayton” and “have sex with” delegates
Thursday, February 14, 2008
Fox News contributor Dietl on Imus: “It looks like the pilgrimage in to Mecca, the amount of ‘Aba Dabba Doos’ that are coming in from Canada in to the United States”
Tuesday, February 12, 2008
Imus on President Clinton: “This is a fat, low-rent hillbilly”
Wednesday, January 30, 2008
Imus regular on claim that Clinton was “first black president”: “I thought it was because he’d had an affinity for fat white women”
Thursday, January 24, 2008
Imus and Carlson invoke Chavez to smear Dem presidential candidates
Tuesday, January 22, 2008
Imus: “Why don’t you like Huckabee? Because you’re gay, or what?”
Wednesday, December 12, 2007
I just can’t wait till the little girl “HILLARY” is beaten up and thrown out for good.
MMFA will have nothing more to do.
Has Imus “jumped the shark?” I enjoy Tony, but the lady seems unsufferable at times? I understand his need to alter the program to be more “inclusive,” but the program is such an apologist now, it should be on B.E.T. instead of R.F.D.
Sorry Rocky,
Not at all. You will never see the old Imus again. He doesn’t apologize at all. He is cautious but still attacks the ones that deserve it.
But are you not happy he is on the air? What else would you listen to or watch? NOTHING, NADA, ZIPPO.
Enjoy Imus in the Morning. He is the man of the hour and makes my day.
If you use IE or FireFox both have add-ons with spell check. It’s a great help.
Wellll Bruce,
I still record morning joe, but fast forward through mika and joe. I only listen to willie and the guests. Sure, I still adore Imus, but I do not subscribe to having a black woman on at any cost. Hard to believe that she is the best he could have gotten. Tony is actually hilarious and insightful. How about real representation – hispanic and asian? Where does it end? By the way, my name is not rocky and I am not a white male. I just believe that she detracts from his historic aim at using the best talent.
Karith is usually awful. First time she was ever funny was yesterday and the whole thing about phone sex with Paul Harvey.
She had a bit this morning in which the content was quite good. Problem is her delivery. She is awkward and her timing is atrocious. Kind of surprising how bad her delivery is given her background.
I could keep listening to that Van Morrison record.
Imus continues to compliment Karith and building her up. So I guess it’s too soon to talk about her replacement. Too bad ‘cuz I think somebody “like” Nancy Giles could do the job…it’s a matter of technique, skill, and experience as much as talent. I hope they work with her…since Rob “discovered” her maybe he would have a vested interest in mentoring her?
Frec,
My sister was sitting in a chair according to my mom, they all were watching NASCAR, the tornado hit and my sister threw a blanket over her shizitzu and covered her on the floor. Which was a good thing because all the windows blew out. My sister told me she got glass in her hair but she didn’t get cut. The good news yesterday was that a church group from Livingston showed up and they turned to a Fireman 🙂 My sister’s son in law, looking for directions to Prattville, he asked them, why are you going to Prattville? They said, we are going to go help those people clean up. I LOVE AMERICANS. He asked them if they would help clean up this large yard and they said yes, lead the way, they got my sister’s yard cleaned up and wrapped her house so moisture couldn’t get in. The Insurance people are trying to determine if it is structurally sound. My sister said, her brother in law brought a crane over from the Water Works in Prattville, and lifted the boat off the truck and explorer..unfortunately he said, they are going to fix it again! Right now they are still in a hotel but they are getting ready to rent an old house until their house is livable again. The Fireman gave the church people gas money, they didn’t want to take it, he insisted because they helped my family, and intended to keep helping people. My sister’s neighbor if you look at the photos from the montgomery advertizer, next door their is a swimmng pool and no house anymore. The neighbor was home finally after completing about 3 tours in Baghdad, he had told my sister before he was so happy to be home…now all his stuff that is left is in his swimming pool! God Bless, there are only two people in critical condition from this Tornado disaster and my sister told me they have been stablized. That is a blessing no loss of life.
Lenny,
Whenever he got around a fat chick with a mouth like an Oreck LMAO! too funny. I needed that, the whole thing was funny- stainmakin…I don’t know how you do it but I love it.
Has there been any “ruckus” since last week about Imus “kiss off” of Gwen Ifill? I haven’t heard a peep.
Lenny, I especially enjoyed that Cardinal…I chuckled myself to sleep over it last night – thanks!
Ree, what a great survival story your family has…”telling it” is part of the recovery from trauma, but it comes out only in drips-and-drabs. Having a supportive community around makes all the difference.
Fascinated with Debra Dickerson interview… I recorded the replay because there was so much said I couldn’t get it all in one listen. We could use a whole thread and discussion about her ideas.
I found her website here: http://www.debradickerson.com
Frec,
I enjoyed Karith’s segment about African American – Indentity, it goes deeper so does Native American Identity, there is a great book called “Indian Givers” by Jack Weatherford. My opinion, the reason we beat the English during the Rev War was because we learned Gorilla Warfare from the American Indians..anyway this discussion about genealogy, black history month and my melungeon research overlapped. Anyone interested in Obama’s genealogy, he can trace his father’s ancestry back farther then other African Americans because Obama’s paternal heritage is a later immigrant from Kenya. Obama does not share the slave narrative ancestry, that so many other African Americans share.
http://www.wargs.com/political/obama.html
New thread!
Who is putting up these pictures on MSNBC? Remember the picture of Imus that appear that time?
Could it be that Imus and Charles are getting physically sick because they know the show lacks its former edge and what was a great show is now just kind of mediocre? Say what you will, I believe it has made me physically ill.
Frec, Funny you should mention it, I’m working on a Debra Dickerson thread… In the mean time enjoy ImusTimes new thread.
Alison you are awesome, thanx.
ChanX
Bella, The program has been getting better, as has your health. Welcome back. ChanX
totally bella, I had a feeling it was the same jerk in the control room.
Great to have you back! Keith
Bruce, I also blog here: http://StandUpforMcCain.com
Thank you Keith.
But why are you posting on this other thread tonight?
Just a question… Just Words….
whoops, I actually just scrolled down and clicked through to the old thread.
