Looks Like Don Imus Will Be Back at Work

Well, I guess when people say America like a person who gets a second chance, they mean it.

According to the Drudge Report and several outlets, it looks like shock-jock, Don Imus will be returning to the air-waves. Lest we forget, Don Imus briefly was unable to continue his profitable and controversial career on the air thanks to demeaning the Rutgers' women's basketball team earlier in the year.

Of course, my thoughts of Don Imus was probably one of the more opinionated and heated posts I have ever written on this or any blog.

From the Drudge Report: In a dramatic and dazzling career rebound, controversial radio host Don Imus has secured a deal returning him to the airwaves on December 3 -- this time on the nation's most listened to talk station, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned!

"Imus In The Morning" will make a high-impact resurrection on WABC in New York City, top sources reveal.

"We'll have him on a standard 40-second delay," a studio source explains. "Don is rested, humbled, and ready for war!"

Specific terms of the deal will not be released, but the host, who was fired by CBS and MSNBC after making disparaging comments about the Rutgers women's basketball team, has inked a eight-figure, multiyear contract with WABC parent company, CITADEL BROADCASTING.

There are worse things to worry about it in the world, but his hiring just comes to show you that money and the Benjamins triumphs over any decency.

Well, I like I said, America is the home of second chances, I guess Imus deserves one too, right?

Then again, if I ever said any of what did back in April, I'd still be on the unemployment line; alas, I don't make my company millions of dollars.

Don Imus; Back On A Radio Station Soon?

I guess CBS has given in, and the world thinks Don Imus has been punished enough.

Lest we forget, inflammatory talk show host Don Imus he decided to cross the line and basically just degrade and stereotype the Rutgers University Scarlet Knights women’s basketball team back in the spring, as they lost to the Tennessee Volunteers in the NCAA Women’s Championship.

His comments from his show way back when...

“That’s some rough girls from Rutgers,” Imus said. “Man, they got tattoos ...”

“Some hardcore hos,” said McGurk.

“That’s some nappy headed hos there, I’m going to tell you that,” Imus said.

And now this...

“Don Imus has reached a settlement with CBS over his multimillion-dollar contract and is negotiating to resume his broadcasting career.

Imus and CBS Radio “have mutually agreed to settle claims that each had against the other regarding the Imus radio program on CBS,” the network said in a statement Tuesday.

The terms of the settlement will not be disclosed, according to CBS, which confirmed only that the settlement had been reached.

The settlement pre-empts the dismissed radio personality’s threatened $120 million breach-of-contract lawsuit.

Meantime, Imus is taking steps to make a comeback with WABC-AM, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the details had not been announced, also said the deal with CBS calls for a “non-disparaging” agreement that forbids the parties from speaking negatively about each other.

The settlement and possible comeback come more than four months after Imus created an uproar over his racist and sexist comments about the Rutgers women’s basketball team.”

Personally, I do not care if he comes back or not; however, if he does - good for him. I still think the man is a complete fool and harbors a lot of prejudice and ill feelings towards women and minorities.

He’s only getting another chance because his talent and ability to create revenue cannot be disputed.

There are probably more important things to worry about than a blowhard radio host coming back on the air, but I was not surprised by the news either.

Yeah, he's helped kids with cancer and what not, but he's had a long history of being offensive and ornery.

Folks, remember, the most important color in the world is green, not black or white…

The Latest on Imus...

MSNBC said Wednesday it will drop its simulcast of the “Imus in the Morning” radio program, responding to growing outrage over the radio host’s racial slur against the Rutgers women’s basketball team.

Good. They had no choice due to the mounting criticism...
