Don Imus a distraction from war with Iran

[mudesi]

The Iranian government has announced that they are ready for "industrial" level refinery, the UN is setting up for sanctions, all while Bush has been building up a striking force for the last 6 - 9 months.

10 Americans died in Iraq over the weekend, and 15000 troops are having their tours extended there.

6 Nato troops were killed in Afghanistan over the weekend, and the Taliban is resurfacing.

Muqtada Al-Sadr has called for a massive protest in Baghdad to "remove the occupiers". Mr. Al-Sadr, by the way, is the man that John McCain said "had no power" the day prior.

But, like usual, the corporately controlled American media is focusing on the "outrage of the day". Please, let us discuss Don Imus.

1. He's no dead bimbo, but he's close.

the admin loves this distraction shit.

[Jim Warren]

2. So does DU nt

[Bluebear]

11. Nonsense. I think most of us are smart enough to think about 2 things at once. nt

[jedr]

3. true on many levels;

the state of our Nation is so bad that something less dire seems refreshing.

[NightWatcher]

7. yep, this is lightweight and can be solved with ease

All of our other problems have no end in sight.

[illinoisprogressive]

4. they have been discussing it but, you can't do war 24/7

[KoKo]

5. No, he's a Pig who needs his show cancelled. n/t

[whistle]

6. I agree and what about the Gonzales hearings and Monica Goodling

...we should be seeing those people on the TV not Imus who is probably in some bar hammered out of his mind

[rodeodance]

8. it was a slow news week.

[MistressOverdone]

9. Sure, let's

WAY less scary.

[lligrd]

10. Exactly - Imus Was Against The Bush Administration

You know thay are loving this. And I find Sharpton to be quite a hypocrite on this. How many times has he said things that weren't politically correct?

[durrrty libby]

13. Yes indeed. He continually called boosh a war criminal

The wing-nuts will love this and they still get to practice real discrimination

Distraction indeed

[blues90]

12. I agree and see your point

I don;t watch or listen to Imus . This is the same as Anna Nichole and all the other crazed issues that even when there is important news going on these none issues take the spotlight .

[KAZ]

15. I just don't understand this mentality.

I am continuously outraged by hundreds of things coming from this misadministration, supporters, etc. Each day, it's something new, but I still have the ability to think about (and fight) two things at one time. Racism and sexism IS NOT a non-issue in my book, and this story is nothing like the ANS shit.

[walldude]

14. Get used to it... DU gets like this, and it's not like we can't multitask

Actually racism is still a big problem as shown by all the people defending Imus, so it's nice to switch heavy topics once in awhile.

[Catherine Vincent]

16. Rest assured, Gonzales will be out of there.

Our congress is still having the hearings.
