Report: Don Imus Returns to Radio on No. 1 Talk Station

Don Imus will reportedly join WABC on December 3rd

The nation’s #1 talk radio station, WABC in New York City, will host the resurrection of Don Imus’s Imus in the Morning when it airs on December 3rd, according to the Drudge Report. Said an unnamed source, "We'll have him on a standard 40-second delay. Don is rested, humbled, and ready for war!"

The comeback follows Imus’s firing by CBS and MSNBC after his questionable comments regarding the Rutgers University women’s basketball team. The source said Imus’s deal is for 8-figures over several years, signed with WABC’s parent company, Citadel Broadcasting.

No official announcements regarding potential guests of the show were discussed, though Hillary Clinton’s name was targeted by the source: "Hillary, prepare to meet your maker!"

Clinton visited the Rutgers team and praised their response to Imus, calling his comments "small-minded bigotry and coarse sexism." Imus called Clinton’s actions around the event “shameless exploitation.”

Also, according to the Drudge Report, Barbara Walters will interview Imus in an upcoming special.

The real bigots

It's too bad that more attention wasn't paid to the real bigot in this Imus fiasco, Al Sharpton. Sure Imus was out of line, but it still didn't compare with the self promoting bigotry of Rev. Al and the Black supremist group, NAACP. No form of bigotry is OK, ever, but we we are afraid as a society to take on these self serving, individuals and groups. Black or White, Let's be fair.
