DON IMUS FIRED: "It appears Don Imus may be finished in talk radio." I've never liked Imus, and his comments were disgraceful, but this seems like it's been a feeding frenzy. And, really, who cares what Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson think about proper public demeanor?
UPDATE: C.J. Burch emails:
Imus is fired, maybe that's a good thing, I don't know. I'm having a hard time reconciling that with the fact that Rosie O'Donnell still has a job, though.

I've never really "gotten" the appeal of Imus among the (pseudo)intelligentsia. He's always seemed like a mean ex-drunk to me. But the idea that he's finished in radio is quite silly. He'll be back long before Sharpton shows contrition about the Duke rape case.
