My thoughts on Don Imus


Okay they are not very deep first of all. On work week mornings I usually watch television while I'm running around. I flip through the main channels and go through the big news channels- I have a very unique process that I just do- it's the OCD in me. Occasionally I would put my television on MSNBC during a commercial break and go about my business of grooming and dressing. All of a sudden I would start to fall asleep while standing and I'd look at the TV and suddenly be horrified at the image coming at me. (Sorry about the picture- it's making me a queasy) It was of course the radio 'personality' Don Imus. I did not thankfully grow up ever being aware of this guy and quite frankly have never sat and watched his show on purpose. In fact, I would rather watch CSPAN instead of him. When I first heard that Imus was making news with what he said on a broadcast my thoughts were 'somebody listened to him?' After hearing it repeated numerous times this week I am disgusted at it, but I am more disgusted that he would actually have a fan base at all. I mean there is truth to the saying 'He has a face for radio.' But Imus didn't/doesn't even have the voice for radio. Okay- I really don't know why I did this entry- but I for one am happy to be free of the fear of accidentally falling asleep while getting ready for work.
