Just yesterday most journalists said they'd still go on Imus
Even Carville said he'd still go on. Profiles in courage, aren't they? How do you think they feel now?

2. They'll Still Go On...
As long as they've got a book to hustle or their ego needs to be stroked, they'll be sucking up to the "I-Man".

Just cause he lost his cable TV gig doesn't mean he's off the air. No word from any of his 70 radio affiliates about any cancellations and none appear to be coming. Imus made his name and most of his money off the radio and still reaches several million ears every morning. The Carvilles, Tweeties, Russerts and other talking heads will still be able to make their Hillary jokes as usual.

3. Carville makes Hillary jokes?
Wow. Just when you thought things couldn't get any weirder. The dude is married to a republic, and disses his own candidate on the air. I give up.

6. He Might As Well Have...
One morning I watched as Carville got ambushed by Imus, his Hyenas and his wife about the Clintons. He just sat back with a shit-eatin' grin on his face...but at least the book sold well. Yep...beam me up.

5. You could almost respect them if they were
still supportive of the guy after today. But, like you, I doubt if they will be.

8. looking out for number 1.
i think the other thing thats making them all "Oh no, NBC did the right thing" is all of the transcripts that have been coming out showing the pattern over the last however many years and half of those assholes defending him yesterday were probably on those very days and said nothing, just smiled and enabled him. All of these beltway people that never get out of the bubble need to wake up and stop protecting people like this.

9. Mary Matalin's been dragging Carville around by his cock for years.
I'm not surprised at any of the crap that emerges from his mouth.
