Howard Stern Basks in Imus's Shame

STERN TALKING TO Howard, Imus (inset)
Don Imus's racist remarks about the Rutgers University women's basketball team have caused plenty of anger and sadness among right-thinking people, but they have brought unspeakable joy to one person: Howard Stern.

The shock jock-in-chief's orgy of schadenfreude reached a crescendo yesterday as he celebrated his bitter rival's public shaming on his Sirius Satellite Radio show. Stern devoted a large portion of his show to the topic, repeatedly playing clips of Imus's penitent appearance on Al Sharpton's talk show. Some of Stern's choice jibes after the jump ...

• "He does nothing. He mumbles, he can't speak English, he can't be understood. He was never funny. You listen to the show, I defy you to laugh."

• "He's completely insane."

• "Go away. Really. It's time."

• "There's probably a 70 percent chance [CBS Radio and MSNBC are] going to have to fire this guy.... He's in for a shitstorm because the girl's basketball team is going to have a press conference, and that's going to look real bad."

• "I guarantee you the wife leaves him. If he loses his job, she leaves him within a year. [And if that happens,] I will leave Beth to fuck her."

• "If it was me and I did something stupid like that I would just go on and say, 'I'm not going on Al Sharpton's show. Al Sharpton is a piece of shit. He's just a human being that is bankrupt, and he should pay his bills.... I would rather just leave the radio than apologize to that man.... I like Al Sharpton, by the way."

• "I mean, come on, Al Sharpton. Imus, get some fucking dignity." [Burps.]

• "I've never seen a 67-year-old guy look that bad."

• "Imus is a moron."

• "Imus had a perfectly nice life, he had no listeners. No one ever bothered him. Now all of a sudden he's getting all this attention, he's cracking. He handled that like shit."

• "How is Imus on the radio? Do you understand a word he says?"

• "He looks awful. How old is Imus for real? Doesn't he look 80?"

Looks who's talking. Who looks worse is a close call and Stern is a good deal younger. Pot calling the kettle black if I have ever seen it.

Howard you are disgusting and look just as old, and I wonder how long it will be before your wife leaves you??? She'll stay long enough to use you and your soiled money.

Howard Stern is still the biggest asshole in radio. He keeps a token black female so he can make any racist remark he wants. I used to think Stern was the champion of free speech, until he remarked he only cares about free speech when it concerns him.

Haha, I love Howard Stern! I've always loved Howard Stern. As a matter of fact, my love for Stern has either been a crack in my feminism or a fuel. Just because I think I'm smarter than most men and consider myself more articulate doesn't mean I don't enjoy sex and things sexual. As a matter of fact, it makes me deadly! Oh, and by the way, Stern and Imus look nothing alike. Imus looks like the devil waiting to croak! My 80 year old grandfather didn't THAT old, and he was in the coffin!

Imus is mean (for what, who knows, given his place of white male privilege), angry and dishonest and Howard is just angry but totally honest about why and has never looked down on people, however much he has goofed with them. You will know him by his enemies more than by his friends. And he is many times more popular than Imus.

Hey Howard, people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, at least Imus didn't spend the last few decades looking like Tiny Tim!
And in case it's slipped what's left of your mind, Imus was one of the first shock jocks, he paved the way for people like you in NYC. It's a shame you can't suck it up and be supportive at a time when it's well needed. What has happened to Imus could happen to shock jocks all over the country, think about it...

Howard is such a SKANK and why or how anyone thinks he is funny is beyond me. Just goes to show that the old saying "There is always someone for everyone" is true for all of you blind followers. How can any intelligent person even remotely think this guy and his "SHOW" are funny. It is a sad day when a person has to say and do the things that Stern does just to get a laugh.
