Title: Do you think Don Imus should hang it up?
Post by: Wayne L. on April 20, 2004, 05:42:29 PM
I think MSNBC personality & talk radio host Don Imus of Imus In The Morning should hang it up for good after over 30 years because he's too mainstream & too bland to be interesting, unlike his competition Rush Limbaugh who still has an edge after all these years while Don Imus has become meaningless with his opinions which are so predictable these days it's not even funny, it's obvious if you listen or watch he's for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry to be the complete opposite of Rush who is for George W. Bush, which is cheesy, I think Don Imus should hang it up at his Imus Ranch before too long because he has lost his edge.

Imus should never have 'had it' to begin with.

Stern is even worse.

I am no fan of shock jocks.  As a former morning man myself it takes a *hell* of a lot more talent and work to be funny without going for the easy shock laughs.

It's not the content, I don't get offended except by hate.  To me the delivery systems always sucked tho.

Kurt Cobain of Nirvana deserved to be mocked by Rush Limbaugh & anybody else since he killed himself because he didn't want to be a rock star, which is ridiculous.

There was more there I think than just not wanting to be famous.  Someone with his money could have easily avoided further fame.

He had problems, not the least of which was being married to the Hole.

It's impossible for me to understand how the shotgun didn't have any fingerprints, not even the experts on the case could explain that.

There is a book out now (maybe that's the one) where they say he was injected with 3 times the amount of a heroin overdose level.  In other words, not just a normal heroin amount but 3 times an OVERdose amount.  No one, not even the longest time junkie, could get up, put the kit away, pick up the gun and fire.

That to me is the most compelling reason to wonder.

yes charlie, you're right, that's another of the reasons why this whole suicide thing is very confuse.
As for the book, I think it's called 'Love and Death' :)

I love Imus.  I think he's hillarious.  But I like Chris Mathews better.  I am a very strong democrat though so I have a bias.

And I also don't believe Kurt killed himself.  Everyone blames Courtney Love, which I believe she was definitely in on it.  But I also have suspicions about the one man no one would expect......that's right, Dave Grohl.  No one gained more than him out of Kurt's death.

P.S. Dont take that too seriously, I don't necessarily believe that.  Also Dave Grohl wrote a very nice article about Led Zeppelin for the Rolling Stones 50 Imortals list.

All radio talk show hosts are over the top when it comes to their rhetoric whether they're conservative or liberal as in Rush Limbaugh or Al Franken.

Nice try at diplomacy but you are clearly a right winger.

And Franken is there to try in a small way to tamp down the excess of Limbaugh.  Unfortunately liberal radio is already dying on the vine.

Did anyone see Al Franken when he was on Conan a few weeks ago?  They did "In the Year 2000" and Al Franken said something along the lines of  "In the year 2000 Al Franken and Bill O' Riley will undergo an experimental procedure to switch brains.  As a result Bill O'Riley will support democratic positions, and also as a result Al Franken will masturbate to old John Wayne movies."

I was rolling!  God bless Conan O' Brien!  Funniest man on TV!  Anyhow, where was I?  Oh yes.....vote Kerry!

Just so you all know, I am hardcore democrat, but I never hate on republicans for their beliefs either.  I'm also a strong Christian, and not the hypocritical kind either.  So the one thing I absolutely cannot stand is intollerance of any kind.

Calling Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity & Michael Savage the evil ones on the right because of their opinions means you don't have a life & can't stand freedom of speech in the US Constitution no matter if you disagree with them, I think Don Imus of Imus In The Morning should hang it up for good before too long because he's too mainstream, too bland & too boring since he has permanently lost his edge being on MSNBC unlike his competitors!!!

You like courting controversy, don't you?  Or maybe your thought processes are just unformed.

Either way these big mouthed hate filled chickenhawks are everything that is wrong with the right.  If you subscribe to their character assassinating, red-baiting act then you really do have a discernment problem.

Any good idea or revelation from the right is immediately buried by thier antics.  They are NOT your friends!

Wow.  Funny as a train wreck.

There are excesses on BOTH sides, and the way some get their message across IS annoying and shrill. 

But it seems the hawkers are the ones casting the most stones at the other side, where the left is casting stones at the administration.  Big difference.

I'm not a card carrying Republican or Democrat because I can think for myself, I listen to Rush Limbaugh because he's got the voice & the attitude for talk radio, I think Al Franken could make it as a radio talk show host after the demise of Air America.

Unfortunately, yes.  Yes he is.  The spokesperson for the right in this country.

I went " cold turkey " listening to talk radio last week after 12 years because it's way too much & way over the top even though I think this genre is kind of fading personally speaking but Don Imus of Imus In The Morning should hang it up now before it's too late because he's too mainstream, too bland & too predicatable unlike his competition Rush Limbaugh who is also kind of fading a bit.

Imus is hillarious.  Rush Limbaugh however is not.  He's kind of an idiot.  Is he out of rehab yet by the way?  I haven't heard anything about him for awhile.  Conan stopped making fun of him so I just assumed he got better.

MSNBC personality & talk radio host Don Imus of Imus In The Morning should hang it up for good after this year's presidential election because he's too mainstream, too bland & too boring while he has lost his edge unlike his competitors Rush Limbaugh & Howard Stern along with the fact that there's nothing happening on his show with the same guests continously as in Howard Fineman & Andy Rooney which is why it's time for this old grumpy geezer to hang up his cowboy boots & cowboy hat at the The Imus Ranch!

Post by: strutter84 on June 18, 2004, 07:38:30 AM
lol, man why are all your posts the exact same post over and over again?  The fact is that Rush Limbaugh is pure evil.  Bill O' Riley is pure evil.  "Today on the O'Riley factor.....how black people cause all the crime in America!"  "Next up on Rush Limbaugh.....how all gay people spread drugs and disease elementary students!"  and so forth.

Don Imus however tells it like it is as far as the Bush administration goes.  He's not afraid to say something truthful and outright about the wrong things George Bush has done, for example, taking over the presidency in a coup like he did.  Imus is a good talk show host, and MSNBC is a good network.  I don't know what's "mainstream" or "bland" about him because there's about 3 people in this whole forum that have even heard of him.  Maybe Paul McCartney should pack it up too because he's too "mainstream".  Or maybe Conan O' Brien should pack it up because he's too "mainstream".  Man, the things you say don't make alot of sense.  Think before you speak.
