My Evening With Hannity and Colmes Part II: The Media Matters Version
by Eric Deegans, October 17. 2007COLMES: Well, that’s what satire is. But you call it racist
DEGGANS: There’s examples going back 15 years, 20 years, where he’s called Gwen Ifill, who was then with The New York Times, a cleaning lady.

Here is my reply to Mr. Eric Deggans.
Dude, you really need to read the rest of my blog. This post is from OCTOBER.

First of all Eric I am not a dude. Secondly and most important “Imus” never said Gwen Ifill was a cleaning lady.
Would you like Martin Garbus contacting you?
Watch this.

Silky Pony to endorse Obama in Michigan ooh ahh..Chris Matthews leg is flailing uncontrolably. (BG) Brit Hume not impressed.
From the Previous thread…
PT,
Thanks for your tip on Mary Mac’s…what a great place! It’s still 1945 there…what a nostalgic trip even if slightly before my time. We had a real stick-to-the ribs Southern style lunch …my hubby says to tell you thanks…we wouldn’t otherwise have known about it.
Your above post is great. You also wrote one a while back about listening to Jean Shepherd on the radio. I’d love to locate that post again – you wrote some good stuff in there as I recall. Did you reconcile with your Dad? Was he doing the best he knew how, or could there have been more…perhaps unanswerable…
Frec,
I’m glad you enjoyed Mary Mac’s. It’s one of the best restaurants Ive been to. I hope some day to go back. Especially to try breakfast. Southereners seem to share my belief that a good breakfast should give you a cardiac by lunch.
Thanks for the kind words on my post. I’ll look for the Shep post for you.
No things never resolved with the old man. As for wether he was doing he best he could, he was a teacher/administrator with a masters in education and a second masters in special education. Draw your own conclusions. He lives Ocean City MD now so needless to say whenever a hurricane goes p the eastern seaboard I root for the hurricane.
Frec,

I got one caught in the Spam trap
PT
Here’s the thing, they complained about Imus correcting Bo Dietl, saying hamel humper, you mean camel humper…now in the country Bo’s is describing, there is no free speech or freedom of expression so MEDIA MATTERS Would NOT exsist in that country, there would be no need for someone to regurgitate information, that has already been censored. Media Matters For America “Making everyones point for them” It is un American we have the FCC. Who gets to say what in America, well Americans we have the 1st Amendment and Free Speech and Freedom of Expression. MMFA acts like a person’s mentally impaired cousin, the one you keep out of sight at family gatherings because “Cuz” keeps repeating everything you say back to you but louder and redundantly, and you don’t want anyone to know, what you really think of the potato salad 😉
Man, bump Media Matters! I hope Imus isn’t afraid of them!
Nice Bart, Its like we have developed a body of work with links back to ImusTimes. Awesome!
HQ if you go back to THE FEED link above some of your best stuff is there…
Oh I am going to go silent on this let it simmer, let it perculate. I like my coffee hot black and steaming! Okay I like it with alot of coffee flavored creams but when Tony says, how he likes his coffee it sounds so cool!
CNN just played Edwards saying on Monday that he would not endorse anyone and he would wait for “The people” to decide.
Well Hillary destroyed Obama yesterday and now Edwards endorses Obama? lol
Ya that look good Johnny!
The anchor on CNN said it was a “little counterintuitive” LOL
Sounds to me like Edwards wants the VP slot.
Bella, that sissy-boy ticket line was great lol.
Talk about 2 pussies!
The democrat party never ceases to amaze me.
Their guy gets thrashed last night and today he gets an endorsement and another super delegate or 2.
Do the Democrats want to lose?
Edwards and Obama LOL
Posted by: Brian | Wednesday, May 14, 2008 at 09:48 PM
THEY ARE CUTTING UP ON IMUS TRUTH!!! 🙂
If Hillary was the VP, she would over shadow and amplify Obama being a pussy.
WOW…………………………………imustruth.com!
Well Hello Harley,
Been awhile. Glad to see you.
Yes the in the tank other IT is surely lost in a sea of Hillary. But we all can’t be right, RIGHT?
Edwards would never be picked as VP though the MSM is saying it could be. They say he is for the working class. However he lives in a 28,000 square foot home. Traded Hedge funds and made a lot of dollars doing so.
The key in my opinion is this. HRC only picked up 12 delegates in WV. She did gain a bit on popular Vote. So if she pulls this out of her magic hat it will be a miracle. Edwards cancelled them with his 26 delegates. The Dem’s really have to correct the method they use to award delegates.
BHO’s magic number right now is 143.
And the final key is the Florida and Michigan delegates and votes. Michigan cannot count for anyone since HRC was the only one on the ticket. Florida is suspect since Obama never campaigned here per DNC rules.
Media Matters is really Media Matters “NOT FOR AMERICA”. As our God Father says, they are an “Insomnia”. So never be concerned with them.
All I can really say is the Democrat Party is in a heap of trouble with this cat and dog fight. They better get their asses in gear and make a decision soon or Denver will become a wasteland come the Democrat Convention.
Sorry I missed this yesterday but did it occur to any one that yesterday was “hump day?” Henceforth wednesdays will be known as Cow-hump day.
Thank you for your co-operation,
that is all

Will read the links you presented Channel a little later. Taking Diana to the Doctor for her back problem.
But had to mention something regarding the favorite guy on the other IT site.
DTT really is a jerk. Plain and simple.
I know. Why beat a dead horse when he’s down. But saying that “Imus will wake up and Fire” Tony and Karith is so ignorant.
Wake up man and smell the coffee. He’s not going to do a damn thing about Tony and Karith because they do add to the program. Screw the problem with Karith’s little Girl Voice.
Truly believe DTT is the racist on the other IT and should be removed or attacked by a gaggle of people. Not just the few that egg him on and then try and debate with him.
Oh Well. Later everyone
Slowly I am catching up on my presentations.
Here is basically the Triple Comedy Routines from 05/13/08
Believe the Bill Clinton piece is from the 12th. But in the middle is a very funny segment in my opinion where everyone get’s involved.

Looks like the Iman is going to take some “time off” this summer from RFD. Spose that applies to WABC as well?
PT,
Hump day extended a day cow humpers front and center on the set so no one can miss them made a point of Bigfoot zeroing in on them.
Sponsor Ski calling PT. Step away from the keyboard!
You must be operating under the theory that if you stop hitting yourself in the head with a hammer it will feel better.
Trust me it does. 🙂
Joe Walsh Barnstormin, They should open the Democrat Convention in Denver, Colorado with this…and we don’t need the ladys cryin cause the storys sad.
From the IMUSWFAN Yahoo Group, a rumor making its way from a WFAN Message Board. Interesting supposition!
Hint: Be sure to read the whole thread….
Bruce, did you know that at least two, maybe four, of your youtubes are posted on Tony Powell’s myspace page? I’m not sure if all four are yours but I think they probably are. That’s pretty cool. Check it out.

I wish I could send a copy of this to the Rev that wrote “The Black Leadership owes Don Imus an Apology” It is about the samething Eugenics.
Would the people who created a media frenzy last April over NHH soundbyte, satire that didn’t work and apologized for many times. Would the people who are mentioned in the above blog know what real racism and eugenics look like or do they not care, and chase the media limelight for attention?
Bloggers Unite for Human Rights Day “The Historical Melungeon Blog” is blogging about this subject all week.
Matt Taibbi “Hillary’s bitter victory” I guess that is one way to look at it 🙂

Kinky makes some good points when he was on Imus in the Morning 30 April 2008 starts about 6:17/18 in the podcast he is speaking to Juan William’s statement that this is about “The Human Condition”
http://www.wabcradio.com/Article.asp?id=680929&spid=22807
Sorry about 5:29 into the podcast
Reference your Post number 22 Channel,
The dates on this BS story reach back to March. Over two months ago. So I do not believe any of this garbage by WFAN.
Citadel Broadcasting made the decision to move Paul Harvey out of Imus spot 4 hours. He spoke (Imus) did very highly of Paul Harvey. Only one thing. Never mentioned anything about Paul Harvey’s wife’s death at all during that trying time.
Think WFAN is trying to stir up some trouble. Of course that is a Fan Site not an official site. If there was something brewing between WFAN and WABC I think they missed the boat somewhere. Not a word from anyone. Or at least I never heard anything.
The Fan’s of WFAN are probably really ticked now that at least the morning program of their little boys Cartoon and BoomBag are behind Imus in the People Meter Ratings in New York.
Can’t believe a word about Hannity or Mark Levin. Wish Mark Levin would have appeared though. And Rush. He couln’t care less. So this is a joke. You see how many people replied. (2) people. WOW!
Thanks Channel

Now Ree,
Not sure if this is what you wanted. But believe it was the product of the bit Tony put on.
It’s called Bahrain’s World. Broadcast on Imus at 9:25 AM May 14, 2008
Everyone will enjoy this routine.

Hey DTT,
Why do you scan our site like I do our Sister site when you think all these negative things? Stay under your bridge and look for dead fish. Because you shall be sleeping with them very soon. You are a Racist.
Also I am the guy that was booted off that site because of morons like you who I could not stand. And I do make presentations on YouTube. You have a problem with that? What creativity do you bring to anyone’s site?
You are very welcome to come on here and show your true colors so I and many others can beat the living Hell out of you. Time for a nap “DUMP THE TOKENS”
Here is his ridiculous BS.
Posted by: DTT | Thursday, May 15, 2008 at 10:08 PM
Sorry gang. I just had to do it. No one is speaking for me over there. And sad to say I am glad Bella left here because she got her feelings hurt. Boo Hoo!!!!!
Wake Up. BHO is going to be the Democrat Nominee. HRC is dead in the water. And your wish DTT will come true. But that would have been the case whether it was Clinton or Obama.
Good Day
Thanks Bruce

Thank you for playing VP Madness (GOP Edition). The polls for the Final Four are now open — make your picks today!
More than 14,000 votes have been cast and competition is getting intense. The Elite Eight saw our most competitive races yet, with Rob Portman barely edging Charlie Crist, winning by a mere 4 votes:

Had a great visit in Atlanta…besides Mary Mac’s (thanks, PT), the highlight was visiting our son and celebrating with him upon getting his one year medallion. Tears of joy were shed. We also went to the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library to further our goal of visiting all 12 of the National Archive presidential sites. Not the splashiest of the libraries, but it was inspiring to view an actual Nobel Peace Prize which Carter was awarded, and is on display there.
Bruce, will you be putting today’s Einstein Pigfeets on Youtube? It was so funny, I want to be sure my husband get a chance to hear it… Pigfeets has grown into the most consistently humorous character on IITM. I am so glad he has been carried over from the old show. 🙂
Yes I will Frec. I am now 3 full days behind. But the weekend is coming.
Sounded like you had a great time. I am glad.
Thank you Ree,
And thanks for the compliment at our sister site. What a gaggle of views over there. Gives me a damn headache just reading it.
PTB is over doing his thing. But is staying out of DTT’s face for the mere fact his intelligence (DTT) sounds good on paper, but is obviously not very smart. Now there is a Roxanne who is going the other way.
That is an equal opportunity insult site. They need Triumph, the insult dog as their masthead. Not a picture of Imus.
You are right Ree about RFD-TV. No one can use the feeds from RFD-TV with the exception of Media Matters. Which I guess is a rule of “Freedom of Speech” and copyright laws.
Thank you for spreading my little clips. I love doing them.
If anyone has requests just let me know. I have the 9AM to 10AM hour ready to set up. That will be on Yahoo Video’s. Added my own song at the end as the bumper and using a different program for processing. Remember. It’s radio.
Here is the Entire 9AM broadcast of Imus in the Morning from May 14, 2008. No commercials. Enjoy if you can’t get the Radio Side.

And you wonder why the Democrat Party is going to lose in November.
This is not my You Tube. But believe it tells it all.
This is actually quite good. Don’t watch if you’re a fan of HRC.
As I am sitting here for the first time in a week, catching up on the “comments” on this particular site and the “other”. I have to (and I am sorry to offend) wonder why I ever bothered to become a regular poster…way back when.
I read at one site that I won’t dignify by using Imus’ name attached to it…that I somehow felt I am was sitting in a bathroom stall at an airport reading the graffiti on the walls.
Then I come to this site, where I start to really wonder…where the HELL did people lose their bearings on WHY any of these two sites came into existence?
What happened? Politics. The course of our Nation. The state of our Nation…and yet, not “just” politics.
I have witnessed such divisiveness and hatred cloaked and uncloaked in the Congress, the Senate, and the Official White House for more than 8 years now…
…and now I know why.
America is torn asunder by racism, intolerance, the inability for civil discussion and above all else…lack of the ability for simple compromise for the sake of all Americans. If that is the course America chooses, America will become to be a laughing stock of the world.
Many Americans say ” who cares what the rest of the world thinks of us?”
I care. I care about the state of our Nation and the direction it is heading towards. History will bear me out in this factual point: we have lost our moral compass, outspent our needs, and bullied for “National Interests” (READ THAT OIL)…and our entitlement program is about to run out.
We outsourced our most valuable prize: our ability to manufacture goods to support our own Nation. We have neglected for far too long our own National infrastructure. Our school systems.
America was the bastion of inventiveness and scientific research. Not anymore.
Look at “silicon valley” just a few short years ago. Once a major boon, now a bust.
Look at our lagging automobile industry. You want to talk about age and experience? G.M. is the oldest. What happened? Most idiots claim the unions killed our auto industry, yet I defy you to look at G.M. when they would NEVER listen to the workers on the floor trying to tell the white collar workers…”hey, these parts don’t fit…or we have some ideas than can help”. Again, it was arrogance. When G.M. was on top, did they take a significant part of their corporate earnings and put it into NEW and UPDATED factories? NO. They shared the profits with the C.E.O.s and the shareholders. GREED.
Their is more than enough blame right now for why America is in the state it has become. Greed, lies and arrogance are at the top.
…and we are at at Imus site, so I will end this “rant” with one last thought…United we stand. Divided, we WILL fall.
We all once came together as the I-Nation united for one common purpose…to get our beloved Imus back. What happened afterwards? From what I have read…more about want “I want” and less of what the Iman wants.
As for America? From what I am reading…sad to say, it doesn’t look as promising. If the people of this Nation don’t put their religious, petty racist and selfish attitudes aside, we are about to become the inheritor of the legacy of the Roman Empire.
I’m signing off for a long while. Personal matters, a complete shoulder replacement and from what I understand from the doctors, prostate cancer. It will be a great Summer… 😉
People, PLEASE think before you speak. Please think before you type. Please try and communicate in other ways besides attacking personally.
In the end, when all is said…all we really have is each other…that, and the wellspring of life that we call by many names…we have life, our very existence because of that Power.
Be well all… and bless you!
Donald, good luck to you. If you need someone to talk to about the PC thing ask whoever runs this place to send me an email with a way to get in touch. I know all about it, unfortunately.
Donald,
I’ll keep you in my thoughts. If you need anything even if only a friend to talk to. you cn always find me at ptbartman@yahoo.com
and as for your “rat” I’ve been thinking along the same lines. Thank you for sharing. They came for…
PTB
Now Donald,
You know where I am. And as much as I rant and rave about the others (wherever) I try my best to keep a level head.
But above all else we all are here together. And we did get J Donald Imus back. So you are now the focus of my attention.
The news seems grim. But as in all things you shall come out ahead.
My prayers are with you and your wife. God Bless you my friend.

Dear Donald,
I am so sorry to hear your news. My heart goes out to you because I have been there and done both the cancer thing ten years ago and the joint replacement three years ago, so I have an idea of what you are going through now and will be going through for the next few months. I have been a cancer survivor for ten years and only have to go for an annual check-up now. My ceramic and titanium hip works every bit as well as my real one ever did, I am pain free and I don’t even set off metal detectors in airports any more. I will be thinking of you as you go through this and I wish you the same outcome that I have enjoyed.
I don’t read Imustruth any more, but I still check in here because I really enjoy reading what you, PT, ChannelX and Bruce have to say. You guys, especially you Donald in your last post, express my feelings far better than I ever could myself.
Take care, Donald. I hope it brings you some comfort to know that many people who only know you from reading these blogs are wishing you well.
Nicely Said Susan. Donald is my friend. And gave us something while we were without Imus. Now he needs us to rally around him. I thank you.
I have something that we should all take a look at. No, it’s not another Imus Video on You Tube. It is something found by a member of an entirely different group of people. And it is something we must remember before all else.
BrucesYahooTubes
Before I leave you all for my fun filled summer…LOL…
…let me make an important correction in what I posted a little earlier:
“…from what I understand from the doctors, prostate cancer.”
That SHOULD have read POSSIBLE prostate cancer.
I am sorry for the typo…because it IS a huge difference. I went through this entire process around 2 and a half years ago, so I (unfortunately) know the drill.
The Doctors suspected cancer at that time, but after biopsy reports came back negative…they still wanted to keep a close eye on things. This year, my PSA levels went way up again, so now it’s test and retesting time. I’ll know more in a couple of weeks after the consultation with the urologist.
Again, let me be clear: I DON’T know if it is cancer. The doctors have their suspicions…so that is that.
My shoulder is another story. The rotator cuff is completely torn and the joint has become encapsulated (whatever THAT means…LOL) and I am meeting with the orthopedic surgeon within the next week or two. If they are intent on a total rebuild of the shoulder, kinda thinking along a Darth Vader look, or maybe the Lee Majors type model…LOL.
Thanks for all the support and well wishes. In either case…I’ll be just fine. I’m just not looking forward to getting from “here” to “there”, that’s all…LOL.
Like I was saying, it makes for a crappy summer! 😉
…or, “It may be summer, but it ain’t going to be no picnic.”
You all be well, and I’ll be thinking of you guys (and gals).
Donald,
Possible is better then confirmed – so good luck. On the other hand 🙂 the whole shoulder thing sounds like a tedious several months of healing and rehab – good luck with that as well.
Godspeed

I hope you hook something up like Ginger a laptop in bed maybe and while you are laid up you can keep us informed on your progress. All my prayers

For some reason Gwen Ifill reminds me of the spokesperson for Ebony Magazine when she said no I didn’t listen to what Imus said but I am sure it was racist, I know racism when I hear it…Keith used to have a copy of that youtube Craig Crawford was also contributing to that conversation.
It is wonderful how today you can retrive video from an archive like, Hillary’s Tulza visit.
http://getoffmyphone.blogspot.com/2008/05/most-soul-crushing-commencement-speech.html
PTB,
Are you kidding me? Really your apartment was on fire. Or were you joking around.
Guess your computer survived.
OLD TIMERS DISEASE… OMG
it was a small fire, Bruce. I roasted a hot dog for lunch then made s’mores and put it out.
Holy Fire Extinguishers Bartman! Be careful out there, it’s a dangerous world.
Donald’s excellent point, to wit:
For the most part conversations have turned into political blood sport, albeit with occasional breaks for civility. Certainly there are other sites where one can engage in these political slayings. Sites whose entire existence is predicated on the blood sport. If it’s someone’s intention to support a specific candidate or cause, why not go to a site where they can maximize impact and spare us the monotony?
My question, where are these Imus sites headed?
ChannelXRFR,
Imus has folks on discussing the primaries and the up coming general election, people are bound to discuss the politics.
Ginger brought up Imus’s discussion with Mary and Craig about Bloggers, and even the comments being left on blogs. Craig Crawford joked about turning his blog into a Lab. It isn’t really necessary. Obama used the word “Bitter” to describe rural Pennsylvania voters but “Bitter” wasn’t the best description. Obama has trouble when he speaks off the cuff he is better with scripted speech. A better word to describe the American Electorate is “Discontented” If you read the list of complaints in one of the last comments on Imus Truth a person made a list of what Obama was going to do if he got elected. Well to say that person is discontented with Obama might be an understatement 🙂 That is what most the commenters are demonstrating the LEVEL of DISCONTENT in this country. Imus is going to get feedback on that discontent because he is discussing The Political Canidates on Imus in the Morning.
I myself am a good example of this phenom. I am not content with any of our choices for the next President of the U.S. The MSM is not reporting on (the mood) of the electorate not acurately anyway because they are busy skewing Obama’s coverage 🙂 Obama used the word “Bitter” the other two canidates are not reading the public any better, have a look at Malkin’s coverage of McCain. If you read my comment to Ginger, this goes back to my Flaubert comment how “Ignorance is Bliss” look how happy everyone was with Obama before they found out more about Obama. What is Imus doing in the morning he is informing and educating us on the choices for the next President of the U.S.
Alot of Americans are discontented and why wouldn’t they be how much does it cost to fill your gas tank up? Read your reciept at the check out line at the grocery store? How many have had their homes been foreclosed on? I mean these are all bread and butter issues and our Politicians don’t seem to be up to handling what many of us think are basic and easy to solve. These same Politicians want us to vote for them.
I’ve been posting on Imustruth, but don’t find a lot of interest there in my opinions. Really like the posts of ChannelXRFR, Bruce, PtBartman- many layers….DTT total racist, it is unnerving, and I am really interested in the political discussions that will affect all of us in this upcoming election. Got involved for the first time when Imus was fired. Did not agree with every word he said, but found him funny, intelligent, real, (not a phony!) and one of the best with political interviews I’ve ever heard. They recently totally dissed Roxanne, who sounded very thoughtful and intelligent. Keep up the intellectual posts.
taryn – just because someone has a different opinion than your own I don’t think calling them a racist is very kind. As usual, most dems are very unkind people, as proven by your post.
..if the shoe fits.
there’s your proof everyone
Hey just because you call a chicken a duck doesn’t make it quack V3_2u. And Taryn just calling them as she sees them. It’s Ziggy Heill errr I mean DTT that’s mean.
There are mean reps and mean dems. But one thing I’ve found people who make generalizations are down right ignorant. Now if you’re here to ad to the discourse welcome. If your here just to cal names and harass go peddle your papers elsewhere.
Taryn,
Welcome I’m glad You’re here. I’ve enjoyed your posts over there.
PTB
Don’t like it PT? Tough.
From what I read, Taryn is the name caller.
Wow, V3_2u did you come up with that yourself or do you have staff writers.
And goiman, like I said she’s callin it as she sees it. If it quacks like duck, waddles like a duck, looks like a duck chances are it’s a duck.
She’s the name caller though. And that duck thing is lame. Its only because you think along the same lines that you agree with her. Its a nasty term used by someone with limited vocabulary and reasoning skills.
Who’s PT the hall monitor or something?? HAHAHA
And loony left-winger isn’t? and all the other names that Taryn and her candidate were called aren’t.
I’ll say the same thing tat was said over there I fyou don’t like it here go away.
It’s not like you or V3_2u have added anything to the conversation over here. In fact you only come over when you think you can stir up trouble.
Taryn,
Altho’ I seldom post either site, have read and enjoyed yours over there. Altho’ I’m a little older, really do enjoy the intellectualism and humor of Imus Times. As my ex used to say “It isn’t a contest” to which I would reply “No, but there is a difference of opinion”! Don’t want to insult anyone, but Times appears to me to have a more libertarian slant. FYI, DTT (unless previously posting under another name) is a newbie. Methinks he assumes something different and tries to stir up trouble on this site as well. I have found it easy to do as suggested, “Just scroll on by.” Life is too short to waste time with unreasoning people. Hope you decide to hang out.
Taryn, the reason Roxanne was “dissed” is because he/she/whomever started it all by making a very personal condescending remark about sending money for a latte and arugula salad. It hit a nerve. This kind of posting doesn’t seem very thoughtful or intellectual to me.
Okay, back to the lounge.
Oh, and Taryn, I have secretly enrolled in the Pt/Ski “no more ice picks” support group!
Yeah like I’m the poster child for that org. More the warning label lol.
“My question, where are these Imus sites headed?”
Posts 56 thru 70 …asked and answered?
P.S. …good luck, Donald Inks!
Pt – Was just short of posting “Step away from the keyboard” 🙂 Having never been there myself, can be no authority, but people who talk about the military without experience tend to be irritating. Many friends, some who made it and some who didn’t, Viet vets. There can be nothing more horrible. How in the h*** can you come home and be expected to assimilate after you have been trained to kill or be killed (by) your fellow man.
I agree MtnH. That’s why I Believe in a strong defense and also believe that Military options should only be used after all other avenues have been exhausted. And I do mean exhausted not slightly tired. That’s why i have no problem with Sen. Obama’s Talk first policy. I studied negotiation under the Uri system of principled negotiation as oosed to positional bargainng.

I have a sort of poll question to ask, how many think that when Gwen Ifill give the commencement address at Rutgers she will bring up Imus? Yay or Nay
I think she will bring Imus up I don’t know if she will bring up the “Cleaning Lady” but I do think his name will get mentioned so I am down for a Yay.
Maybe he’s the elephant in the room…….
I will start with a person I call a troll. venividivici2u
Who the hell are you? You have one hell of a nerve to come to our place and attack one of the most eloquent posters on this site PTBartman.
Go back under your bridge and suck a fish. I really don’t appreciate your sense of humor if that is what you call it. Go away and stay away.
All others including Ginger and Taryn I am glad you are here. We need some good honest diversity on this site. Not negative thoughts. Imus Truth is our Sister site. But it’s full of negative thinkers, racists and BS merchants.
I have been accused of being the leader or hall moderator of Imus Truth and here. And yes I am outspoken. But I only speak when spoke about or if they have a different opinion and I differ with it I state my case. It’s only when IDIOT’s like venividivici2u come here I put my foot down.
So go at it. Have fun. But you will not get any positive remarks from me in return. You will be outed and thrown to the wolves.
Ginger I am happy you are here. I think you were taken back because I have disrespected Hillary so much. Well I am not in her camp nor Obama’s. Remember I am voting for “Mickey Mouse” before I vote on the democrat side. So forgive me for being so blunt about HRC.
Also venividivici2u I am the one who posts the YouTube presentations. I have one just for you. You might enjoy it.
If you can speak Latin. It must be PIG latin you ass.
Next time someone attacks PtBarman get ready for the onslaught. I am armed and ready.
Thank you for the rant time.
Ree,
Don’t think Ifill will bring Imus up. It’s counter-productive.
So my answer is “NO” she will not. If she does wait for that presentation.
Thanks Ree for that question. Didn’t even know she was speaking at Rutgers.
Laree, I vote “yay” and I think she’ll mention the “cleaning lady” routine too.. LOL
Bruce, thanks, and much of what you say is true regarding the Hillary connection, this site, and me, and yet I’m not afraid to stick up for her anywhere or to stick up for myself, but then again, sometimes, it comes to the fact of “well, just what’s the use?”
Re: Hillary – If the dems make the huge mistake of nominating Barack Obama, then it’s curtains for me. I’m off to vote for John McCain or write in Hillary or support a grass roots independent party with Hillary running(or maybe even Mickey Mouse.. LOL) The dems will have blown it anyway.
Bruce
College Girl has the link to the article here:
http://getoffmyphone.blogspot.com/2008/05/most-soul-crushing-commencement-speech.html
Ginger that would be something if she mentions the cleaning lady claim.
Bruce
The link isn’t coming through my last comment, go to Not Another Imus Blog, College Girl’s latest blog it has a link to the article.
Ginger, that will be something if she mentions the cleaning lady claim.
For you Taryn,

Leave it to a “Canucklehead”.
PT
Ginger,
The problem as I see it with the Democrat party is their Primary election process. If they used the same method as the Repulican’s HRC would be leading and would have probably been the nominee already.
The current problem is the DNC itself. With Dr., Lawyer, Indian Chief Howard Dean in charge they should have allowed Florida and Michigan to allow their primaries to be counted with of course allowing all candidates to campaign there. But they are not with the times. It should be winner takes all. And forget that caucus junk. Too much can be weasled out of bribing, so to speak, the people to vote for the candidate that gives them the best food and drink. Not alcohol of course.
So we may have butt heads in the past, but we are now in the home stretch of this election process, the times are changing.
And what are Super Delegates? If Ray Nagin can be one, guess anyone can.
Stick with the literate group. Place your comments here and you are a very eloquent writer yourself. I really don’t bite. Only attack the uneducated or crazies. They as the “God Father would Say” are the Insomnia of the other IT.
Now Ree I am not sure what you are saying. A link didn’t come through? Or a URL? Channel can fix that.
There is a simple method for wierd looking links or URL’s. I learned from the Master Channel.
Here is an example:
ReesLinks
It will start with http://www.???? etc. Keep it in a text file and then copy and paste the URL or whatever link in there. It is now embedded in the post. Change the end to show who you are. Or even who it’s from or what it’s about.
Try it now if you are still awake and test it. Channel or Keith will fix it if it doesn’t appear.
Let’s get the Joint rocking with new views. I love it.
Take for instance this I sent to v2vici or whatever.
Now here is what it looks like using the method I just showed you.
BruceImusTruthPutDown
It’s a cut and paste. And when you get the hang of it, it becomes simple.
Laree,
What is the date for the Ifill/Rutgers commencement address…next week?
I say yes, she will make an oblique reference to it, so that the point of her “victimhood” will not be lost, and the students will be inspired and motivated to stand up to “hate speech.”
Okay gang. Here are my thoughts on Gwen Ifill, commencement speech at Rutgers next week. I hope she goes for it. I hope she plays a space victim card. And I most certainly hope she says that John Donald Imus called her a cleaning lady.
And I certainly hope that Martin Garbus is is sitting in the back with a summons in hand.
In fact, you have to wonder if the whole thing is a setup. Imus thew down the gauntlet. She had to have heard it. or at least heard about it. We did. Look at the top of the page.
Damn, I hope she goes for it.
Happy Birthday to Rob Bartlett.. May 18!
I think chances are pretty good she’ll go for it in some fashion. She knows if she mentions Imus she’ll get more press than if she does not. Nobody cares about her giving the commencement speech, unless she brings up Imus.
Hey PT. Saw your a spades enthusiast. Let me know if you want to play someday. I used to play on the Zone before they changed the site.
X,
My question to you is when did these Imus sites start to morph into all things related to “hate politics”? I’ve been a lurker for almost a year, but posting since only about the time Imus came back.
I stopped posting on the other site because it’s the same stuff every day. Nothing new or interesting. At least here we actually talk about other things like Cindy Bigelow on occasion. 🙂
Frec,
I can’t get the link to post but if you go to Not Another Imus Blog College Girl linked to the article for the commencement speech. You can find Not Another Imus Blog in the Blog Roll to the Right.
Happy Birthday Rob Bartlett May 18th and Many Many More.
Bruce
Sorry i didn’t read your post fully, its all such babble. Its only because you were thrown off the other site that your sticking up for Taryn, so whatever you have to say is irrelavant. He/she/it came on here disparaging another site and another poster which is plain wrong no matter how you spin it. PT only said something because he was dissed before and can’t take it. So both instances where defended for different reason which have no baring on this situation.
Don’t get yourself too wound-up over this, its really not worth it.
Frec
PBS journalist Gwen Ifill knows that no matter how riveting she is when she speaks at Rutgers-New Brunswick on May 21, students will probably have other things on their minds.
This Tuesday.
Frec
Sorry Wed., not enough coffee
Good find on Rutgers Commencement Ree. She will be speaking at the University – Wide commencement which is the main event. How can she not include Don Imus in her comments, it is after all her connection to Rutgers. I’m betting she does…
Imus does talk a lot of politics on the program and he will go off on topics, some would even say obsess over certain outrages. But through out it all he is willing to consider include other voices and opinions. Carville will come on the program and Imus will say maybe “Hillary is not so evil”. Imus will also say the Rev Wright stuff is not so important. And he will say any one of the three candidates would be alright with him. My point is there is a level of open mindedness on the program. In some commenters opinions there is a filter which removes Imus’ thought diversity and turns it into political hate speech. This hate speech presents itself as obsessive diatribes where the commenter rips apart every idea that is not consistent with their own!
Imus takes on sommany topics, just don’t understand how Obama and Hillary discusions monopolize threads.
I am another I-Fan Spades lover. Free Spades card games with others on the net. Can’t get into Pogo.com. anymore – don’t know why – did for 3 years. Oh well, Do any of my I friends know of any Free sites? I am able to do the Yahoo.poker thing interactively for free – but thats it. help! Love Spades!
Nice post X and I most like how you linked it back to all things Imus.
I guess the other answer is it seems the internet has become a home for behavior that would not be tolerated or acceptable “in living color”.
Ok spades lovers (and pinochle, euchre, parrot (like rook) an hearts lovers too) the site I play at is http://www.mysticisland.net its free and it’s fun. there’s a goo bunch of regulars, lots of tournaments etc.
Over there, as I am everywhere, I’m PTBartman.
Yahoo also has spades as well as MSN.
PT, I can’t get the mystic thing to work. Any ideas?
Good Morning All, I’m just checking to see if my new avatar is showing up. Skiwolf, yours is awesome! I definitely recognize that cool icon from the best ski area ever!
I must say that I haven’t been reading the sites for the past month or two due to well, LIFE! I am picking up on a rift between the Imus sites. I think that’s sad. IMO both sites are fun to read. I tend to get more laughs at Imus Truth, and well, this site is more serious, but I like them both. I tend to scroll until I find the posters that make me laugh. I like the erection I mean election focus because let’s face it, it’s been one excitin’ election season. I enjoy everyone’s POV. I live in the middle of NOWHERE, so it’s great to have a place where so many different views can come together and vent. It gives me a good picture of the country’s varied viewpoints
IITM is getting better IMHO. I was getting bored for awhile, but lately it’s been better. There seems to be more bantering among the group and it’s not as tense as it was in the beginning.
Donald and PT, I commented to you on Imus Truth yesterday because I couldn’t remember my wordpress password and had a helluva time logging on.
PT, YOU CRACK ME UP! I’m a tad ADD too, so I laughed out loud for a long time after reading about yours yesterday. You have a nice writing style.
Have a great day all. I’m going to plant Pansies. I don’t know how they got that name because they survive high altitudes and cold temps….Not at all wussie as their name implies.
Oh, that comment by deutschmark is Alice. I tried hard to get my own log in name, but all forms of alice were taken. I’d like to try again. Does anyone know if it’s possible to change your log-in name on WordPress? I’m sure there is, but it could be that I’m just a tad too blonde to figure it out.
It did take awhile for me to remember my password. Geez!
http://www.mysticisland.net/default.asp

Hey Alice good to see you. Hope all is getting better with the family.
Thanks Kids – for the Spades {etc} Games info. What a nice group! 🙂
Alice,
thank you for your kind words. It’s nice to know I’m appreciated. There are some (so there’s no misunderstanding, by some I mean Sen Obama, possibly Jimmy Carter, probably my fourth grade English teacher, Mrs Okrepke, and definitely my family (I am not, no matter what you may think, referring to Ziggy Heil and the Moron TaPORKular choir (by Ziggy Heil and the Moron TaPORKular I mean..oh screw it think what you want)).
As for how to change your name…
go to the top of the page and click on my account–>edit profile
scroll to nickname add/change then go don and change display name to your nick.
try Alice4Imus 😉 or A1ice
youhave t hit update changes between the last two steps
I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEA! You made that so simple PT. You should be a teacher. As a teacher for over 20 years( I started very young), I know it’s rare to find a student who writes well and has found their “voice”. It’s a tough thing to teach, so finding natural ability is helpful. Again, you’ve made me laugh with your explanation of “some”. And, clarifying your post’s intentions by changing you name….priceless. A++
Hey Ski, thanks! Yes, things are much better with mom and dad. I appreciate your concern. The whole family is beginning to reconnect after years of drifting apart. I’m really happy about that! Hope you’ve been well also. smile
ChannelX,
Bella stated check out Crawford’s Trailmix and I did, this isn’t an isolated occurance this is what the blogs are like because of the Democrat Primary Situation. The Presidential Election Cycle started too early, I know, I have been typing this samething for along time now but it is true. Look Florida and Michigan not getting seated are prime examples. I am going with “Summer of Discontent” I think online card games may just be the way to go 🙂 The MSM is part of ginning up the public over the Democrat Contest -Why “Ratings” Reconciling oneself to this “one of these three people, Obama, Clinton or McCain” is going to be the next President of the U.S. that being the case, I guess the next step is to make peace with that reality, and accept the eventual outcome. I might be in a better position then most, I am not wed to the outcome of any of them.
I meant ‘your’ name of course. Not you name.
Bella,
I know you don’t like Cut and Paste this isn’t a critique. I wanted to share what you posted about Trail Mix because it really makes the point in my above comment to ChannelXRFR. This isn’t just the Imus Blogs this is all of them check out Monica Crowley’s blog check out Malkin and HotAir this is what is going on in the blogsphere. Kind of explains my “Summer of Discontent” above. I read and post on both Imus Times and Imus Truth and my typing doesn’t always catch up to my train of thought.
Below is Bella’s comment on IT
Funny. Craig Crawford is sponsoring the “Summer of Love” on his Trail Mix. We are not the only ones who have strong opinions, it seems.
http://blogs.cqpolitics.com/trailmix/
No time to “play” this afternoon… crap…I’d rather be here then where I’ll be…
…”all things Imus…” yep, I agree. He’s my compass even when I know I going in the opposite direction than him (which happens occasionally) “)
c’ ya later, I hope…
Bruce, in re: to post No. 85:
Thank you and I agree wholeheartedly with your thoughts regarding the dems election process. It’s a total disorganized mess and now they are paying for their lack of planning. I absolutely agree with “winner take all.”
I don’t have a competitive attitude toward Imus Truth. There are some very good and thoughtful writers there. As Ree mentioned, it is more like a “lounge”…all kinds of folks, in and out, meeting, greeting, joking, venting, arguing, and just being people with all of our vast viewpoints.
No, I’m not afraid of your bite, Bruce. I’m a tiny bit tougher than that.. LOL
Well, I’m off to see “Ironman”…. is it any good? I hope so! If it’s not , at least I’ll get some popcorn.. ha!
We are all sort of a family here. Different views, different writing skills etc.
Did you ever have a close relative you just couldn’t stand to be around? But you know you have to see them at an outing once a year????
Seems it happens here too. So to my attack rant. Say what you will I stick up for friends even if it looks like I am trying to make myself the center of attention.
Thank you all for the great posts today. Everyone has a voice. Some just sound a little horse me thinks.
Good Day!
Well this is pretty helpful

Hey Bruce, I like the relative analogy. I can just feel you clenching your teeth whenever I show up……Grin.
Oh god no alice,
I was thinking of all Imus’s critics especially Ifill and Deegan et al.
I’m sorry if the timing made you think…
I was really touched by your post.
Well, that’s a relief! It wouldn’t have been the first time I’ve been accused of overanalyzing something. Har har.

ENJOY! 🙂
Ree, Understand the political conversation is pervasive. All I’m saying is for some people it is all consuming. There may be better places to have the consuming conversation then the Imus sites.
Given there are sites like Huffington, Hotair and Malikin where people engage in the blood sport of political dialog. Trailmix is a fabulous site for the consuming political conversationalist. The site is Crawford’s sounding board. From there a poster could influence the national discussion through Crawford. To me that would be more exciting and provide greater benefits then senselessly beating the Imus sites..

I must say this Reverend “Ain’t No Reverend” I would want to hear. He sounds like he is a conspiracy theorist.
And if you believe Barack Obama and Reverend Wright are gay lovers I have a Wonderful bridge to sell you.
Good Grief. Wake up and smell the coffee please.
May 18, 2008 6:41 PM
It’s still “quote day,” isn’t it? Hope I’m not too late…here’s another daily affirmation from Imus’s Hanley Center…
“Happiness comes from within. IF you choose to be happy, no one and nothing can take that happiness from you.”
— Chinese proverb
P.S., That one can’t make Imus very happy, can it? heehee 🙂
Frec,
Are you looking for the Pigfeet routine? Not sure I forgot
Yes, Bruce, the Einstein Pigfeets was funny as all getout…that’s a “keeper,” plus I wanted to let my husband hear it…he was on conference calls all morning Friday and couldn’t listen… Thank you if you can do that!
…also, about my experience listening “on the radio” in Atlanta…that was okay, and it was kinda neat hearing “real ads” for local stuff, although on the second day there was enormous static and I had to switch back to my laptop for the brief time I had available… at home here I’ll stick with streaming until such time as our cable comes through with RFD, or we get DirecTV, whichever comes first. I still miss “seeing,” especially when Imus apologizes to people on the radio who can’t see what he’s demonstrating at a particular time…other than that, listening to Imus is better than not listening…
um did anyone just hear the godfather?
Well I hope you all caught the Godfather this morning. Very funny stuff, particuarly at the end when he makes fun of all the Imus Bloggers.
Calling Bruce – Have to hear that again!
LOL PT. You beat me by a second as I checked the spelling of the word “particuarly”. Too funny!
WHAT!?!??!! Are you saying WE are a target of the I-Man’s humor? So, now we get to walk a mile in Gwen Ifill’s shoes…. we’ll see how we like them apples :)))
(I haven’t heard it yet, but I’ll be waiting with bated breath…) lol
Actually it wasn’t “us” so much. It was “some” people who go “mi mi mi I want the old show”
Oh…well, we have some idea who “they” may be…I guess they’re getting noticed…must be making the I-Man very happy since they’re not happy, and that’s his goal. 🙂
PT, did you get an e-mail from me? I sent a picture of Mary Mac’s…
Here’s The Democratic candidate for VP. Makes much more sense than Satan. Has executive experience as Governor. Proved she can win in a “red state” and can appeal to independents and Republicans. Helps soothe some of the “hard feelings” over perceived misogyny. She has ties to Ohio an important battle ground state.
Imus should get her on NOW.

I lost one in the “spam trap”
I think Carl Jeffers is saying women as a group will be sorry they didn’t better support the woman candidate the way blacks supported their candidate regardless of his positions…
I love that word “bifurcated.” Pantsuits are bifurcated clothing … heehee.
Spam Trap: Catch & Release, conservation for bloggers!!!
Yeah but tis one was important, name the VP candidate for The Dems. Complete with a link. 😉
I think it does that just to pi$$ me of. Spam trap not happy till Bartman not happy. number141
frec, yes. Looking. Will write.
WordPress – Fairly random who and what it traps. Seems like the trap can be avoided by using the HTML tag a.
Is there a way to get into the old http://www.SupportImus.org archives?
Archives? Keith Question.
Wouldn’t it be cool if Lou published his bumpers as a play list every once in awhile. I’ve often thought of putting the play list together for a show, then life interupts…
ChannelXRFR,
I don’t know about others but I have tried to watch Fox & Friends on the weekend OMG! Fox News needs to do something. (train wreck somebody set up a triage unit) The reason I like to watch Imus in the Morning so much is because maybe Radio is better with a Morning format then Television? I admit I am a radio person so I am biased, I have listened to radio since I was a kid, I probably always will.
The radio format isn’t as rigid? I know that alot of people like to get up and start their day with a laugh. I don’t laugh at CNN – HLN – Well I laugh at MSNBC Joe and Mika but you know at them not with them 🙂 My point is some of the stuff on in the morning when you are starting your day is dismal. Imus has drivers and trucker drivers besides folks watching on Television at home ect..among those folks on the road, I am thinking they are enjoying comedy routines like “Baharains World” while they are listening behind the wheel. There is something for everyone the political junkies, the radio folks, I love Warner Wolf, is it me or does it seem like Lou and Bernie are putting Warner up to stuff? That Barbara Walters joke was funny! Imus is like Warner please no….GRIN. I asked on Imus Truth did anyone else catch what Warner said, after the end of some of the Cow Humping schtick last week? I bet Bruce did.
I heard The God Father he mentioned Imus you have College Girls writing about you – See: Not Another Imus Blog.
Imus’s audience is very diverse. I think all the political ranting on all the blogs is because the same people who are blogging and commenting are “News Junkies”
Imus asked Carl Jeffers a good question about why is it we are hearing more about the race issue then the gender issue? There are alot of women in this country, do both political partys really want to ignore women? Imus bringing up elements that are not being covered elsewhere.

ChanX,
Now that I’m getting the hang of these “Fancy Dan” html codes, is there a list of th ones that Turdpress recognizes?
Posted at our Sister Site by your friend and mine BELLA. Find it one of a few great You Tube presentations on the Democratic National Commitee and their antiquated rules.
I am not a Democrat but could vote for Obama. However I believe Denver (Will BURN to the Ground) when they hold their convention. Wow.
What time will the Godfather bit replay? Did I miss it again?
Bruce,
I don’t joke about any American city burning, least of all Denver where my family is. I am old enough to remember how scary it was in 1968, and other times, when some of our cities were burning… fires spread and you can’t really control them…too scary to contemplate.
Denver is also my home town, Frec. All of my family except for me is still there. Hope the wachos stay home. I read the other day Denver has already hired a emergency disaster expert to work on just this problem. Go figure.
Godfaher on now
Got the Godfather…toooooo funny! We know they’re listening…looking over my shoulder now… 🙂
Frec,
My mom just emailed me and they are going to start moving back home this week it seems like along time ago since those tornados came through Prattville.
Bob,
My mom heard from my cousin Laura too and she really liked the youtube video you made of her horses. My mom’s neice Faye is also a rancher they are the lazy cross ranch up in Fairfield, Montana. I don’t know what kind of ranch Faye has cattle? I know for the longest time she used to be on the barrell racing circut. Kind of makes me a little homesick, when I get the news from back home.
Frec and Ski,
Don’t worry. It is something “Imus” said regarding the Democrat Convention.
Hillary will be out before that happens no matter what the pundits say. Riots are no fun. Went through the Newark riots in 1967 when we rescued my Grandmother and Great Grandmother.
Just something repeated over and over again.
Also Frec I have your Pig Feets presentation ready to upload to You Tube. It will be ready in an hour or so.
“Don’t worry, Be Happy”.
And Ski Wolf, will get the God Father routine. Haven’t listened to the program yet.
Do you have the approximate time it occured?
Laree:
I’m glad to hear your family is on the mend since the tornado. The wee hours of Mother’s Day were quite scary here – we got the same fierce storms that killed so many in other states – but we were spared more tragedy, thankfully. Since then, it’s been peaceful. Prattville is on the way to Montgomery…our next trip will require a Prattville-stop to the visit the huge Bass Pro Shop just off the interstate there…at least I’ve been so informed by my husband…
Bruce,
I caught it at about 6:30 or so off the original feed from WABC radio live. Thanks.
Frec
That is the same message, I have been getting from my mom they are so tired of storm season and so ready for it to be over already.I don’t know what you all like to do for fun my family liked to get out on the alabama river on the weekends but I don’t think my brother in law’s boat is fixed yet? The infamous tri fold party boat aka tornado magnet! I know there is a casino in Wetumpka the Creek Tribe I think. Is Imus on the radio in Alabama yet? He has Mohegan Sun Casinos up there in the NE as a sponsor, Where is Mohegan Sun CT? After hearing about Charles Barkley’s gambling woes, I probably should not be pointing out gambling as recreation! I am not much of a gambler but we did have one of our last family reunions in Las Vegas and that was a hoot! I learned how to play black jack. Vegas is fun we got to see Fat Elvis perform ect…
Thanks for heads up Ski.
Ree,
You folks have really had a heck of a storm season. Now here in Florida ours is just beginning. We had our first rain in about 3 months. But not much to help with the drought.
I do pray that your family can get back to normal. Tornadoe’s are crazy unpredictable forces of nature. There are some horrific videos of the power of these storms.
Just go to You Tube and search for tornadoes. You will find the worst catastrophic video’s you could ever imagine.
In an instance your life is changed forever.
Believe we can expand the discusions. For example Imus interviewed Megyn Kelly from Fox News this AM. They discussed a variety of issues including:
News role models; Barbara Walters and Diane Sawyer,
Barbara Walters affairs with Sen Brooks and possibly other married men,
Sue Simmons and liquid lunches,
MK getting her life back after the elections, ie guitar lessons,
Reporting on primaries and exit polls,
California ruling on gay marriage.
Being a news junkie, I find every one of these topics to be interesting in their own right.
WTKK Imus Interviews Megyn Kelly, Listen | Here
I found Kelly to be quite interesting and more than the usual “dumb blonde” types that Fox has put on in the past.
My only hesitation is that they have done this before. ED what’s her name who used to be on the morning show is a Harvard graduate believe it or not.
That show is proof positive that the dumbing down of America is in full force.
Hope that does not happen to Kelly.
Before I go off and get the God Father for Ski and all just wanted to let anyone who wishes to be on the preferred list to send an email to me.
There you will get the 9 to 10AM recap of the day without commercials. I place them on Yahoo videos.
Just email me at bvb720@gmx.net
Don’t worry that is all you will get. No direct attacks or personal emails about anything other than Imus presentations.
Megyn said there is speculation around Barbara Walters and relationships with other married men beyond Sen Brooks? This whole Barbara Walters paramour thing has me wondering how much of her relationships were about access to information? Is power just about money and sex? And of course does it really matter?
SkiWolf,
I found the GodFather. However remember this. I am on Eastern Daylight time. You are obviously on Central time. So you said 6:30 AM it was actually 1 hour later here.
Just a tip for the future. Not a put down.
And it was very funny. Later it will be up and ready.
But going through the entire 4 hours right now. It is an “Insomnia”.
YF
Bruce, thanks for all the effort. I am on EST and should have said that. I live about 17 miles from NYC.
I think this site posts things in Central time which is the confusion. Based on that, you’re right it would have been about 7:30am that I heard it not 6:30. I was going by the time stamp on this site. Duh on my part.
X, I think BabaWaWa would have done just about anything for a story in her day. Not a put down. She was just on a mission. I’ve wondered if one of the guys she left out of her book was in fact, Imus?
Never thought about the Imus connection….
No problem Ski,
A lot more is being processed so you will get the funniest God Father first. Then the entire show if you sign up.
ImusOnAir.com does a clear signal. Some drop outs, but not many.
Haven’t tried the WABC feed since I get a hum in it.
Be patient my friend. I am here to please those that appreciate them. And not looking for any accolades
The WABC feed is much better since they did a site makeover which was sorely needed. If I’m downstairs I listen live on WABC radio. If I’m in my office I listen to the feed over the internet. There is about a 45 sec to one minute delay between live radio and the feed.
Ski,
That’s correct. The delay is about 41 seconds. As mentioned many Moons ago. But I have never heard a censored portion of that on IMUSONAIR.
I start my recording at 6:05:30 and it runs till 10.
Last week they had a slight technical problem for the first 1 hour and 33 minutes where the live audio was in the background and the broadcast audio was in the forefront.
Everything is delayed on the internet due to traffic and bandwidth. Sometimes I get a louder feed at 9 to 10AM. Less people listening I suppose. Our experts can explain.
But everthing being equal, the feed on IMUSONAIR is cleaner. Will check WABC tomorrow for my recording.
Later!

Barbara Walters said she never had a love of her life except for her daughter, that is about “Bonding” human beings as a spieces are pair bonders it seems like she missed something in her developement? There is a natural bond btw mother and child so it isn’t that she doesn’t bond at all. Girls get cues from their fathers growing up, did she have trouble bonding with her own father? I had a healthy bond with my Dad, they always say how important the bond btw Father and Son is the bond btw Father and Daughter is not brought up as much, look how many books Imus plugs for “Father’s Day” Jim Nance and Tim Russert both sons about their fathers. When was the last time a book about how a Daughter feels about her Father was written or promoted?
Ree, I’m reading Barbara Walter’s book at present. She didn’t have a close relationship with her father when she was growing up. Yes, I believe she did have trouble bonding with her father. She said he was a good father, but he wasn’t around too much. He was so busy with his career building. Later, now that he is gone, she says that she has appreciated him more for his creative and enteprenural (spell?) spirit. You get the idea that she loved him very much but there was always sort of a wall there.
I’ve always sensed a “don’t get too close” vibe from Barbara Walters, but reading her book gives you another side of her, a more warmer and vulnerable side.
Fathers really do play a big role in their daughters lives. I’ve always said the one man a girl needs to trust implicitly in her life is her dad.
I don’t know if anyone here has read Candice Bergen’s autobiography. There’s an interesting Father/Daughter dynamic. She always felt she was plying second fiddle to her “brother” Charley McCarthy.
OK — Here’s an Imus question given that it seems to be a full moon tonight.
Who knows anything about his first wife and daughters? I’ve been a fan/listener since I guess about 1989 or so and I can’t remember anything.
Does anyone else? Curious minds want to know. Rumors and speculation are acceptable. 🙂

I couldn’t agree more. My dad lived to be 91, God bless him.
However, my daughter was 19 and my son 14 when their dad died. What a gaping hole in our lives. But my daughter is the one I worry about most, her future without the man she idolized and depended on so much. A lot of the time her pain is palpable.
Ski,
His first wife was Harriet Showalter. Three daughters with her and he adopted her daughter, so 4 daughter from his first marriage.
Well SkiWolf and All here is my God Father as requested.
A very very funny skit that went crazy and so did the gang at WABC/RFD-TV. Must have been fun to watch it.
Enjoy.

PT, I remember reading Candace’s book.. “Knock Wood”..right? I read it about 20 years ago, but I still think about it off and on.
Ski, I’ve wondered about Imus’ first family too. lindainbluebell, I didn’t know about the adopted daughter…gosh, 4 daughters and their families out there somewhere, but you can’t really blame him, I guess for protecting their privacy.
I’m really curious to know how many grandkids Imus has!
Hey Bruce, great job and thanks. Was even funnier the second time around. Good stuff!
I was somewhat ambivalent to the “Radio Theater” routines …but “Bahrain’s World” is funny. Real funny.
Just one fat, little white boy’s opinion.
This would probably qualify as rumor and speculation as it is bubbling up from the inner recesses of my brain. But I have some vague recollection of a conversation that Imus and his daughters were/are estranged; that after he got sober he made an attempt to reconcile, was rebuffed and has “moved on.”
I vaguely remember him mentioning a daughter who was trying to make it as a stand-up comic. This was about nine, maybe ten years ago. It was a brief comment (as I remember it), he said, at the time, that she wanted to try and make it on her own, was not using the Imus name, and didn’t want any help from him …but I didn’t get the feeling at the time that the reason for this attitude was because of a strained relationship.
Imus mentioned a daughter in the interview with Walter Isaacson…there was some common thread that sparked a recollection in him…very brief, but it had me wondering too. Those girls had to have suffered a lot having a dad in the emotional and physical condition he was in during their formative years. We have no idea about those relationships. They may still have to work out “their stuff” before they can accept even an honest amends. In the meantime, he’s a much different father to Wyatt. Probably better than if he had not gone through his ordeal. I admire Imus when he says a recovery program gives you the opportunity to be a better person than you would have been.
IT’S BILL!!!!!!!!!!

Referenced in Tom Rose interview, the Tom Friedman Op-Ed from Sunday, “Obama and the Jews:”
Tried to link the Tom Friedman Sunday NYT Op-Ed referenced in the interview with Tom Rose…must be in the spam filter…you can google for it in the meantime, easy to locate…

ChanX: When I try to open links here, nothing happens…is it my computer or the link police? I have no trouble today on IT, either posting links or opening them. I hope it’s a temporary glitch that being worked on… thanks.
Oh wait…I see my Friedman link kicked in, and I was just able to open PT’s link when I couldn’t earlier…can’t open ChanX’s yet…seems some kind of delayed response time…don’t know, I’m just a trained monkey with high tech…
ChanX:
Huckabee? That is mind-boggling…how did it get down to Huckabee and Sarah Palin? Who is even familiar with her…? Is this about name-recognition? Or the way they set up the brackets? IMO, CQ didn’t make it very easy to locate this poll/contest, and they never did send out their e-mail updates (not that I got, at least) which is how/why I’d forgotten about it after the second round…

Check out the Senator Byrd/Obama connection. He could forgive Byrd, but I guess Imus can NEVER be forgiven. WOW………….
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0508/Sen_Robert_Byrd_endorses_Obama.html
Wow…………… Even Byrd gets a pass!
Something is wrong with this site. It won’t let me post links.
I left a link over on IT for you that are interested. Senator Byrd gets a pass despite of his past, but Imus is still horrible. Wow………….
I guess an endorsement goes a LONG way! 🙂
Hey Harley,
Is school out? Are you on vacation yet?
Yes, there’s a link delay which we have been discussing here…if you post your links anyway, just wait, they will likely show up after a period of delay that can be from a few minutes to several hours…my longest delay was about 8 hours. I have learned to be patient. 🙂
No, we have three more weeks. The BIG test is over though.
WOW, A LITTLE RESEARCH GOES A LONG WAY:
After a private meeting with Byrd back in 2005, after he arrived in the Senate, Obama told the Tribune that Byrd had spoken of regret for acts of his past.
“I said if we were supposed to be perfect, we’d all be in trouble,” Obama said back then, “so we rely on God’s mercy and grace to get us through.”
ENJOY! 🙂 (Forgot how to do the backquote thingy!) 😦
It seems that Sen. Kennedy’s seizures were caused by a tumor.

You dropped the html at the end.
How’s this Harley?
Harley:
Three more weeks…that seems like an eternity! Your fall term must start after Labor Day. I had to get used to the different school calendar when we moved down here from “up north.” Our kids are finished this Friday. When will you find out the results of the Big Test? Seems like your whole lives are structured around testing?
Here’s the quote-thingy:
Well if the link isn’t going through here is the article.
May 19, 2008
Categories: Barack Obama
Sen. Robert Byrd endorses Obama
The Charleston Gazette reports an endorsement deep with symbolism: West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd is endorsing Barack Obama.
“Barack Obama is a noble-hearted patriot and humble Christian, and he has my full faith and support,” Byrd says.
He said he has “no intention of involving myself in the Democratic campaign for President in the midst of West Virginia’s primary election. But the stakes this November could not be higher.”
Byrd, 91, a master of Senate rules and Iraq war foe, has spent much of his political career repenting the racism of his youth. He’s acknolwedged having joined the Ku Klux Klan in 1942, and campaigned against civil rights legislation in the 1960s.
In The Audacity of Hope, Obama wrote of meeting Byrd, and their joint awareness of the past; his endorsement is a note of reconciliation that underscores Obama’s message.
Obama wrote of meeting Byrd as new senator in one of his book’s most compelling passages:
Listening to Senator Byrd I felt with full force all the essential contradictions of me in this new place, with its marble busts, its arcane traditions, its memories and its ghosts. I pondered the fact that, according to his own autobiography, Senator Byrd had received his first taste of leadership in his early twenties, as a member of the Raleigh County Ku Klux Klan, an association that he had long disavowed, an error he attributed—no doubt correctly—to the time and place in which he’d been raised, but which continued to surface as an issue throughout his career. I thought about how he had joined other giants of the Senate, like J. William Fulbright of Arkansas and Richard Russell of Georgia, in Southern resistance to civil rights legislation. I wondered if this would matter to the liberals who now lionized Senator Byrd for his principled opposition to the Iraq War resolution—the MoveOn.org crowd, the heirs of the political counterculture the senator had spent much of his career disdaining.
I wondered if it should matter. Senator Byrd’s life—like most of ours—has been the struggle of warring impulses, a twining of darkness and light. And in that sense I realized that he really was a proper emblem for the Senate, whose rules and design reflect the grand compromise of America’s founding: the bargain between Northern states and Southern states, the Senate’s role as a guardian against the passions of the moment, a defender of minority rights and state sovereignty, but also a tool to protect the wealthy from the rabble, and assure slaveholders of noninterference with their peculiar institution. Stamped into the very fiber of the Senate, within its genetic code, was the same contest between power and principle that characterized America as a whole, a lasting expression of that great debate among a few brilliant, flawed men that had concluded with the creation of a form of government unique in its genius—yet blind to the whip and the chain.

Oh, that didn’t quite work did it… heehee, another try, fingers crossed:
first you do this….
Now I’m getting irritated:
type one of these which is the key “arrow thing pointing right” — then type or paste your text — finally repeat the left-pointing arrow and a / backslash plus the word Blockquote with no space and the right-pointing arrow.
Jeez – has anyone ever tried to write step-by-step instructions to tying a shoe lace? It can’t be done… 🙂
Harley: pay no attention to those Blockquote instructions of mine, they are totally screwed up — one of our “experts” can surely help better than me 🙂
Frec,
I have a template for these quotes and links. But they are not even working.
Have a call out to Keith or Channel to correct them. Sometimes Word Press goes crazy. LOL
For the VP Madness it must be about where you are seeded. Imagine a former beauty queen not quite one term Governor from Alaska vs a Baptist Preacher.
Sorry about the Spam Trap hope WordPress fixes soon. Sometimes links go right through and sometimes they get held up – seems fairly random.
Bruce:
Thank you. My blockquote effort is working fine, but trying to cut-and-paste “instructions” for Harley resulted in inserting an actual blockquote…the “arrow-thingys” don’t replicate here on this board – plus I ended up telling her backwards… sorry, I made a mess of it, but it was a mess of my own making… ‘)
Frec,
It is hard to explain on here. Must be done in a direct email. Channel was kind and did that for me As you can see above.
Channel is like a “One Armed Paper Hanger”. God Bless him
I know yall already know, but the news on Ted Kennedy is bad. Being born in ’74, the only way that I learned about the Kennedy brothers was from my history books. Thanks for the help with the backquotes. We get out on June 5th. We usually start up after the Labor Day weekend.
Ok gang, HTML school is now in session..
HTML is all about bookends, <b> tag <b> <b>/ tag<b>. The tags can be b for bold, i for italics, blockquote to put text into quotations and a to insert links
<b> To bold the content</b> Note the slash closes the tag…
<i> will italicise the content</i>
<blockquote> Put Your Quote in Between These Bookends</blockquote>
<a href=URL> Embed your link in the first bracket, this area is for the text </a> note, URL will not show only the text, also “slash closes the tag!”
Here is an example of a link to Imus On Air
<a href=http://www.imusonair.com> Imus On Air Click | Here</a>
Which will appear like this
Imus On Air Click | Here
One more thing, use the examples above as templates!
Principal Chanx:
Thank you for holding HTML school. Just a question or two from this remedial student…Will there be a test? If so, when will the test be held. How many questions will be on it? Will the test be multiple choice or fill-in-the-blanks? Will there be an essay required? Will there be any help sessions before the test? Can we use a study partner? Will it be an open-book test? How long to we have to complete the test? If we flunk the test, do we get to retake it? Will our second score be the one on our final grade, or will the two scores be averaged? Will the grading be on a curve?
I like to be prepared.
🙂
Frec,
That sounds like an “Imus” routine. Funny as hell.
Thanks Channel for explaining it to the huddled masses. Still awful at it.
