Seung-Hui Cho and Imus

[Deity Dude]

I'll tell you one thing. They certainly wouldn't be saying the women from Rutgers were scarred for life.

Aw, I thought this was going to be about Obama's speech...

Speaking of Obama, it just amazed me. It was about the 4th or 5th day of "The Imus Crisis" and I'm flipping thru cable TV and come across MSNBC. They have an ad for Hardball saying that they are gonna have a live interview with Obama.

To be honest I havnt seen the guy interviewd very much. I've seen him speak and such but never really seen him have to answer questions on the fly. (I am not saying he hasn't - I am just saying I havn't seen it) So I was really curious.

Hardball gave him a 10 minute interview at the beginning of the show.

90% of the interview was about Don Imus. WTF!!!!!

This is a presidential candidate. The US is involved in 2 wars and on the edge of a 3rd. There is a huge debate about troop funding. Global Warming, the Economy, Health Care, Social Security, his chances of being the first minority to win the presidency, millions of issues and they had nothing better to talk to this guy about than Imus.

Of course he had to express his outrage, like everyone else on the planet that has been asked about it. As we knew he would.

It is just such a pathetic joke on so many levels.

2 months of Anna Nicole and if it hadn't been for the tragedy at Va tech we would have had 2 months of Imus.

Didn't you read about his speech? Iraq, Imus and Seung-Hui Cho are all related in some opaque and probably ridiculous way...

This poll should have a penis-shaped turnicut.

Hey banana boys, any poll which requires a specific choice is invalid. THIS POLL IS ONE OF THE FEW VALID POLLS ON APOLYTON.

Poor Imus.

[Whoha]

Of course not, he had the misfortune of making those comments at the end of the duke lacross case, AND at the end of the Anna Nicole Smith drama.

[Dis]

he would have still been canned. He would have made some racist remark about asians after this happened.

[DaShi]

He'd be fired faster. People would be more likely to side with university students and his debate would be diminished.

Barack the Hack: Barack Obama's misguided attempt to connect the Virgina Tech murders with the Imus slur ("quiet violence") and, yes, loss of health care benefits due to layoffs and overseas competition, doesn't come off quite as obscene as you'd expect when you listen to it--because Obama's delivery is too fatigued and subdued, even depressive, to trigger the sense that he's manipulating anybody. Still, it's not exactly evidence of a fresh intelligence, or even basic common sense, at work--much less rising to the occasion. It suggests a mindset that tries to fit every event into a familiar, comforting framework he can spoon-feed his audience without disturbing them. ... Charitable explanation: Democratic primary campaigns will do that to you. ...
