Don Imus and America ... What it says ....

Is there anything more hypercritical than Keith Olbermann, smug, obnoxious and a daily hate monger, the hero of the Left, sitting down for the past few nights quizically asking how a man like Don Imus could survive spewing hatred for so long? Maybe Olbermann, pushing 50, can get the answer from the his additmately first serious relationship in his life, the 23 year old collage collage student he lives with. (This is Keith Olbermann's perspective on reality) ...

Man oh man does the entire Imus circus nausate me. It goes without saying that he is and has always been a nasty man. For decades he hs been saying rude, tasteless things on the air about all types of people. No one or nothing was off limts. His audience always knew this, the guests who came on to sell themselves knew this, the networks who employed him always knw this and the corporate sponsers who endorsed him always knew this. There are no surprises in this weeks comments nor were they the "worst" that ever came out of his mouth.

What I find so distatseful is the hypocrasy surrounding his firing. All of a sudden everyone gets a concosious. Complete hukster opportunists like Sharpton and Jackson find a crusade to revive careers as sagging as their jowels. The media, which daily searches out morbid curiorsity driven train wrecks to feed their ultra competitive livelyhoods is actually covering his downfall while passing judgement. It's all such a farce and the worst of American culture.

I personally couldn't care less if Imus never shows his hideous face in public again or never addresses a public audience. He has always been a repulsive creature from my perspective. I just don't like how all the creatures that have crawled out from under rocks are standing on platforms to take advantage of it for personal gain. Let's see Sharpton, Jackson and all the community leaders from the African American community actualy attack the language now deemed ordinary from the rap world and the violent, rudderless culture it has spawned.

My hat is off to the Rutgers team who have handled this event with class ... at least so far ... hopefully there will not be any book or movie deals announced anytime soon ...
