not more then I do........however, he had a clause in his contract that gave him protection in the exact case of him saying something "un-pc"....his employers violated it and fired him on the spot.

He deserves the money.

Yeah, he was supposed to be edgy, It was in his contract.  It was known from the get go he'd clean up. And he did. This also opens the possibility that he will be back on radio soon.  Settling of the contract means his no compete is shortened or void.

The First is protection from the government and does not apply here.


What applies is the part of his contract stating he was supposed to be controversial, and was then fired for it.

FWIW, the 1st really doesn't apply to radio being protected by the .gov anyway.  It's called the FCC

Not an Imus fan, but what he said was made 'main stream lingo' by the very people who cried foul when he said it.

I'm glad he's getting the money in the end, but everyone involved was wrong on some level.  Some more wrong than others.

The hypocritical race-baiting schmucks Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton can kiss my voluptuous ghetto-booty-licious badonkadonk.





eta:  The only people I feel bad for in the whole thing is the actual ladies on the bball team.  They didn't ask to be mocked, they didn't ask to be in the public eye, and it wasn't fair of Imus to go after them like that.  Yeah, he had the right to do it, but he shouldn't have.  JMO.

Call me cracker I dont care, my mommy said sticks and stone might break my bones but WORDS will never hurt me. PEACE OUT.

nothing to do with 1st amendment rights....... CBS is a company that takes advertising money from many different folks and they own many different companies.  When yer in the public eye you can't say those things.  Is it right??  Prolly not, but I believe he should have been fired.........but now that i hear about his contract stating he was allowed to say poli-incorrect things.........well then he should get his money.......

You can say whatever you want about what he said and interpet it literally all day long.  But when someone says "knappy headed 'ho" they think of a black women.  Say whatever you want bro......beat yer head against that wall......but it's the truth.
