I wonder how Imus feels now about his producer, Bernard McGuirk.

Edited on Thu Apr-12-07 12:48 AM by Ninja Jordan

If you're a regular listener or viewer, you'll know that this bald right-wing fuck is the one who eggs on alot of the racist dialogue--and he did so in this case. I've always felt that this guy was a complete douchebag. I believe he was the one who referred to Obama as 'that colored fella;' his Ray Nagin character is also despicable. This guy should lose his job if Imus ultimately stays on at CBS.

2. Yes, he is definitely a cheerleader for a lot of the racist dialogue.

He should not come out of this situation unscathed, considering he is Imus' producer.

3. Yeah, I have real problems with the vulgar and really racist, and sexist

Bernard McGuirk. I have no doubts after watching the show for a few months now, that that man is a real hater and a very nasty man.

As for Imus, IMO, he has been made a scapegoat and I do not believe he is racist. I am very sorry that he has been fired.

10. Imus is not the victim here !!!!!!

He could have fired executive producer, Bernard McGuirk and co-host Charles McCord but no he sat there and laughed and made his own racist and sick comments over the years .And there are his guests like Bo Dietl !!!!

5. Boycott CBS until they fire Imus

This is more of Imus trying to save his own ass. I wouldn't want to be advertising on CBS and face a boycott. :shrug:

6. Imus lives on

I heard Imus will be filling in for Dog the Bounty Hunter while he's on an extended vacation in Mexico.

12. Bernie always dragged the show down

Wished many times him and the sometimes Sid were not on there. He was over the limit during the last election when interviewing a black fella about Hillary Clinton also. Just wanted to reach out and smack the smartass. And he was the sob that started this last Imus screw-up. He has been so bitter since the last election losses for his party, so very bitter and mean.
I for one, will miss watching Imus. And Chris too. Charles, not so much.
