Media Matters for America: Imus: Obama is "almost a bigger pussy than" Clinton

During the April 17 edition of Imus in the Morning, host Don Imus asserted that Sen. Barack Obama is "almost a bigger pussy than" Sen. Hillary Clinton. While discussing the April 16 Democratic debate, Imus said he thought that co-moderator George Stephanopoulos was "great" and that the debate was "fine," adding: "I thought Senator Obama was on the defensive most of the night. But they're both sissy boys or sissy girls, or whatever. Because they talk big when they're out on the campaign trail, wolfing on each other." News anchor Charles McCord interjected, "But then," and Imus continued: "And then when they show up at the debate, they fold up like a couple of cheap lawn chairs. I mean, I don't understand that. And he's almost a bigger pussy than she is."

As Media Matters for America noted, on the March 7 edition of Imus in the Morning, Imus asserted that Clinton won her campaign for a U.S. Senate seat due to "a sympathy vote," adding, "She came here, everybody felt sorry for her 'cause her fat ..." At that point, guest and Fox News host Alan Colmes interjected, asking, "Why did she get re-elected?" Imus continued: "'Cause her fat, stupid husband was getting BJs from the poor little intern there in the Oval Office."

Despite his being fired by MSNBC and CBS in April 2007 -- his show is now syndicated by ABC Radio Networks and simulcast on RFD-TV -- Imus continues to attract prominent guests. From April 1 to April 17, Imus hosted Sen. John McCain, NBC Washington bureau chief Tim Russert, CBS anchor Bob Schieffer, Washington Post media critic and host of CNN's Reliable Sources Howard Kurtz, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, and Congressional Quarterly columnist Craig Crawford....

Why anybody would listen to that old shit is beyond me ... let alone
form an opinion based on what he says.

11. What's the difference between Randi Rhodes calling Hillary

a whore and Imus calling Obama a pussy? Did you object to Randi? No, you applauded her.

[DeepModem Mom]

12. I did not applaud Randi. I'm an Obama supporter, but the treatment of Hillary...

during this campaign incenses me. I know I risk disfavor from many here for not joining in the pile-on on Hillary, but some of my nearest and dearest support her, and I respect them and their candidate.

I am a neutral poster of articles, both positive and negative, about each candidate. My posting each day reflects what I find in the press that day.

[abq e streeter]

13. Well, not all of us, but far too many.

I was surprised and disappointed ( probably should have only been the latter) at how many people here defended her. At least for Randi it was an aberration; for Imus it was business as usual. But your point is uncomfortably right on the money.
