Maybe some of you righteous ones could turn some anger towards Bill Gates.Asshole that he is, Imus does,consistently, refer to Lieberman’s pro Iraq war position as “unfortunate”.I suspect that at some time,Lieberman was instrumental in a donation to the Imus Ranch.Anyone with a new book out wants to go on the Imus show,Repub or Demo. Who doesn’t want to move some units? This is weird.Imus promotes the “Opie and Anthony” radio show; and they talk about sexual subjects you could never imagine Holy Joe endorsing.The “Imus Show” was on break for days before Lieberman was beaten.Imus now blames himself for not getting the good word out in time to boost Joe’s numbers.Personally, I think Imus’s support worked JUST the WAY I LIKE IT.Ha, Ha!</p> It’s great that some of you know that NBC is owned by General Electric.Appearently, not enough realize that the MS of MSNBC is MicroSoft.
