Inquiring minds want to know-what does Joe Lieberman think of Imus?


I was a regular Imus listener years ago, in those palmy days when he was a more or less recovering drug addict who played rock n' roll and had the Reverend Billy Sol Hargus on as a regular. Over the years, as he ditched the music, brought on the politicians and the racism, and veered to the right, I got disgusted and stopped listening. It has been a mystery to me how he has gotten a free pass for this long. Apparently he has now been so disgusting that even the corporate masters he enriches have had to slap his wrist -a two week suspension for calling the entire Rutgers women's basketball team "nappy headed 'hos". Lost in the obvious racism is the fact that it is also incredibly sexist, in other words, typical Imus.

Over the years he has provided a forum for lots of politicians, eager to kiss his ass for the exposure he gives them. (You may recall I criticized Chris Dodd for picking Imus' show to announce his candidacy).

But this post isn't about Imus. It is a humble request to any Connecticut media type that might run across it. Call Connecticut's moralizing Junior Senator. Get him on record about this. Don't let him escape scrutiny. He's always passing judgment on our morals, sometimes on the Imus show, right there between Imus and the Henchmen's racist rants. If you don't ask him, he won't have to talk. Ask him if he'll be going back, once Imus has said his penance. (Hint to Don: It doesn't count without a sincere act of contrition)
