Did Imus Eat His Hat?



So, after Don Imus called the Rutgers women's basketball team ... well, see here for yourself ... plenty of people and organizations have jumped on the case and are attempting to get him fired. They're right, he should be fired ... but not because of those comments. More after the jump.

For years, Imus has insisted on wearing a cowboy hat to work every day. Some people have even wondered if it was sewn to his head. It seemed that nothing could get that ridiculous hat off of his head ... well except maybe making some racially insensitive comments about female basketball players. Here's a picture from yesterday's "apology" filled broadcast.

So proof that Imus does in fact have a full head of hair.

But now that Imus has been suspended for his comments, the question is should he be fired. I say go for it, but not necessarily for these comments, or even any previous ones.

No I say fire him because he's unfunny, and a fake cowboy.

While some people have used this to embrace their "nappy heads," I think we should use this to get Imus off of MSNBC and get some actual news coverage on there in the morning. I'm a big fan of MSNBC - I try to make a point to watch Keith Olbermann every night and I have to give "props" to Philly native Chris Matthews, even if I just think of Darrell Hammond's impression on SNL every time I see him. But I have never been able to sit through more than five minutes of Imus and his "comedy" show.

So, as an eternal optimist that I am, let's look at the positives that have come from this horrible situation. Imus has lost his hat. Some actual news on MSNBC in the morning, and maybe the most amazing thing, Fred "Eric" Norris actually still can speak.

So I pulled out the old credit card -- bought myself a [url=http://www.ordio.com.au/products/Fatman-iTube-ValveDock-Carbon-Edition-2.html]Fatman iTube Valvedock Carbon Edition[/url] and I am very glad to report that I made out like a bandit. I actually listened to one at a friend's house several months ago and just couldn't get that sound out of my head because it really truly surprised me. I searched high and low for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I phoned them first and asked every question I could think of and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and bought it. Dispatch was fast. Everything was perfect. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they dispatch outside of Oz but you won't be sorry if they do.

Very nice...

Raymond

Harvey Fierstein, who wrote "Kinky Boots," which had its pre-Broadway run at Bank of America Theatre: "Is there a more fun atmosphere in Chicago than the Italian Village (in the [url=http://www.agoshow.net/Twins-33-Justin-Morneau-red-2010-All-Star-Jerseys-54/]Twins 33 Justin Morneau red 2010 All Star Jerseys[/url] Loop)? Three floors, three distinct Italian eateries, but all fun and delicious. The style and flavors are best described as heart-warming. The food tasted like the Italian home-cooked meals from my childhood summers in Seaside Heights, N.J. The wait staff is warm and engaging and will treat you like old friends they have missed seeing. If you can, try to get reservations on the top floor. The colored lights and dioramas are worth the flight of stairs."

My favorite deep dish pizza is Lou Malnati's pizza."

Peter Lockyer, who played Jean Valjean in "Les Mis rables" at the Cadillac Palace Theatre: "Stocks Blondes (in the Loop) so convenient, a block away from the Cadillac Palace Theatre and recommended by our resident local boy, (actor) Max Quinlan. We [url=http://www.agoshow.net/Red-Sox-29-Adrian-Beltre-Home-Cool-Base-White-2010-All-Star-Jerseys-88/]Red Sox 29 Adrian Beltre Home Cool Base White 2010 All Star Jerseys[/url] hung out here our last night, and it's a simple, no frills, good-bar-food kind [url=http://www.agoshow.net/Yankees-52-CC-Sabathia-Red-2010-All-Star-Jerseys-52/]Yankees 52 CC Sabathia Red 2010 All Star Jerseys[/url] of joint. And then there's San Soo Gab San (restaurant), for those willing to take a quick trip up to (the Lincoln Square neighborhood). I love Korean food, and this place has got it 24 hours. Again, not fancy, but that's how I roll."

Dee Roscioli, who played Elphaba in "Wicked" at the Oriental Theatre: "Zebra Lounge (in the Gold Coast) is by far my favorite. It's really tiny. You could miss it if you don't know where it is. No food, but drinks and music not to be missed. Haymarket Pub Brewery (in West Town) has hand-crafted beers and great food. Need I say more? Sushi Samba (in River North): I like anyplace I can get sushi, plantains and make-you-feel-cool decor."

Joseph Leo Bwarie, who played Frankie Valli in "Jersey Boys" at Bank of America Theatre: "The Gage a few blocks from the Bank of America Theatre. Best burger I had all year. Great fish and chips. Great beers. Great service. It feels like you are inside an old train station. (Also) Rosebud Steakhouse right outside the Bank of America Theatre stage door. You walk 20 steps through an alley and you arrive. Classic atmosphere. The cast would line up along the dark wood bar [url=http://www.agoshow.net/2009-All-Star-Boston-Red-Sox-15-Dustin-Pedroia-Blue-Jerseys-16/]2009 All Star Boston Red Sox 15 Dustin Pedroia Blue Jerseys[/url] and order steak salad, crab cakes, excellent wine and more excellent wine."

Eric Petersen, who played Shrek in "Shrek The Musical" at Cadillac Palace Theatre: "Portillo's (in River North). Oh, I can taste it just saying it. (I get) two Jumbo Dogs with everything and a Beef-N-Cheddar Croissant. And Sweet Water Tavern and Grille in the Loop. I'm a burger guy and they have a burger with Merkts cheese that is to die for."
