How and Why should CBS fire Imus for this, and lately I've heard there arent too many people up in the morning nor listening to him in their cars or homes. He was good in the past but now is just another talk radio deal. Give the guy his job back for god sakes | It isn't once, it wasn't twice, he's been making these 'slips' for 30 years.
And, yes, Imus has the right to say whatever he wants, and guess what? CBS has a right to fire him if they want. |
