WHO ELSE BUT IMUS?

After 'Bomb Mecca' Comments, Almost No Fallout

After almost a week since syndicated radio / MSNBC talk fossil Don Imus began his bizarre campaign in favor of bombing Mecca, supposedly to send terrorists a message, the mainstream media's silence on the matter has been deafening.

While denunciations of Imus's extreme rhetoric began with the conservative National Review Online site, leftists at Media Matters For America have since joined in with very similar opposition.

Nice work, I-Man, you've managed to unite both the left and right!

Had it merely occurred once, it might have been characterized as a one- time slip of the tongue, but the Kerry- supporting celebrity schmoozer repeated this ill- considered position at least twice during the week.


Since then, we've seen nothing about this from our mainstream media friends, though the accidental uttering of an obscenity by Imus guest Chris Matthews did generate a great deal of coverage.

Now, your Radio Equalizer would like answers to these questions:


Could Rush Limbaugh get away with calling for the destruction of Islam's most holy place?


What about Bill O'Reilly? What if he made this demand on the Factor?


Or Sean Hannity, for that matter?


What makes Don Imus immune to the kind of fallout that would destroy the careers of just about anyone else in the business? And how does he manage to remain on the air?


If you have answers to these important questions, which still elude your Radio Equalizer, please leave a comment below.
