Imus Attacks Contessa Brewer

mediabistro: TVNewser
On Friday morning Imus called Contessa Brewer a pig and a skank. "That skank has to spend three hours with makeup in the morning...That's why they have those big double-doors there at MSNBC, you know, so they can get her fat ass in makeup." Imus also said Contessa is "dumber than dirt." An MSNBC spokesman tells Page Six that "Contessa Brewer is a valued and respected employee. While Don Imus' humor is often brilliant and provocative, we believe that this morning's comments about Contessa went over the line. We have expressed our displeasure to Don."

I'm an Imus fan, more than I'm a Stern fan. Some people don't know when Imus is kidding. Much of the drama is scripted. Sometimes Imus doesn't tell people when they are the butt of his private practice jokes. He was high as a kite Friday morning. He just had a tube removed from his back after kidney stone surgery and was still visibly the influence of painkillers. He has been silent on the issue so far this morning.

You left out the fact that Imus was responding to a statement Brewer made to the PageSix gossip column... [paraphrasing] "Don Imus is a cantankerous old fool who doesn't know how to relate to beautiful women."

Opps. I thought I linked to it.

The truth is Imus is a cantankerous old fool who doesn't know how to relate to beautiful women.
