Imus in trouble…?
Rush and Molloy dish…
Gay-rights activists are blasting Don Imus and sidekick Bernard McGuirk as gay-bashers, Last week, when fellow MSNBC talker Chris Matthews asked Imus if he’d seen the cowboy love story “Brokeback Mountain,” Imus sneered, “Why would I want to see that?” He added that McGuirk had his own name for the movie — a crude candy reference we’ll skip. The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation called the “slurs” a “juvenile display of homophobia.” MSNBC has apologized for the banter. …
Good for the I-Man and Bernie! Two of the last dudes who say what they mean and mean what they say………(a lot of the time!)

I’m not particularly worried about Imus’ infantile schtick–he is just another lame addict, after all–but if I were MSNBC, I’d be worried about Chris Matthews’ role in all of this. I understand there is going to be lots of pressure on Matthews beginning this week because of his inane ramblings on a variety of topics.

I certainly hope so…as for Imus, I guess not a whole lot more can be expected of him than to be his juvenile, homophobic self.

You would think that MSNBC would have a little more control than this. The last think they need to do is call negative attention to themselves, they are hurting in the ratings bad enough.
