Imus in the morning is an old boys club. I watch it on a regular basis rather than run down to the corner store and listen to all the neighbor men try to out bullshit one another.

Imus is irreverant and truly funny unless you're a prude.

MSNBC must've made a committee decision to try and introduce a female co-news anchor to the Imus show, nonetheless two raving beauties such as Contessa and Amy. If that was the decision, then MSNBC powers should have found a fat-assed, hussy skank that would have taken no guff off of Imus' boys and tossed them on their collective ears.

Few things shock me, but seeing the Imus crew rough up two apparently classy women like Amy and Contessa did make me uncomfortable. Those actions were uncalled for and undeserving.

The whole of the Imus crew should issue a written apology to these women and then return to their act of battering one another.

In this day and age no woman should have to put up with what Contessa did on the Imus morning show. Basically I've stopped watching the show because of this incident.

When Contessa referred to herself as a beautiful women...it was proof positive she is an idiot. She deserved the asskicking dished out by Imus.

I am sure that I am not the only one who used to enjoy Imus but now think that he and the juveniles that are regulars on his show are getting a bit lame. mc gurk is a jerk and and Charles is a bigger suck up than Johnny Carson's stooge used to be. Thank God I've forgotten his name already. What are Imus's stooges going to do for a job when his list of make believe illnesses finally catch up with him.

I thought Contessa dealt better with the abuse than any of the others. Imus could not take it.
Her news reading needed work, though. I'm sure it was a new situation for her, and who could read with all of the incoming...?

I am new to Imus and generally find him amusing. I liked Contessa as well, and generally feel, it is too bad things went south. But it is true that Imus continuously baited her- interrupting when she was reading the news, making inappropriate comments about her and so forth. I sometimes wondered if his ego was threatened by her presence. He and his crew definitely acted like adolescent wiseguys around her. Bravado masking inadequacy. And it is too bad as well because there are very few really stunning women on television in any capacity, including actresses. I don't know that Contessa Brewer is a clock stopper, nor I am sure that she has that je ne sais quoi quality either. But I never needed a second cup of coffee to wake up when I got to look at her.

I've been an Imus listener for many years, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to put up with the gratuitous racism, sexism and inappropriate language, all utilized for their shock value but with no redeeming purpose. Imus is at its best when he is interviewing journalists and media figures such as Tim Russert, Bob Schieffer and David Gregory, and politicians like John McCain, Joe Lieberman and Harold Ford. Unfortunately, too much of the show now seems to be devoted to Sid's ignorant, valueless banter, or Bernie's juvenile racist and sexist commentary. Maybe Contessa shouldn't have said anything, but her comments about Imus were made in a private seting (or so she thought), unlike Imus' asinine comments about her which were broadcast to the world. She did absolutely nothing to deserve the miserable treatment that she got from Imus. And as for the person who thinks it's hilarious when Sid refers to Nancy Grace and other women as "bitches", you really need to get a life.

Notice how rude many of the Imus supporters are in this thread? I guess his loyal audience is comprised primarily of people who are mentally and emotionally limited to name-calling and personal abuse/attack when they express their disagreement with the Contessa crowd. Gee, what a surprise that is.

Hatred spawns hatred, and hatred is what Imus and his sycophant crew thrive on.

speaking of course language, and the tone its delivered in:

don usually says outrageous things in the spirit of fun. don jokingly told contessa to pick up the energy, etc...

the spirit of contessa's comments on page six were not upfront with don, were not in the spirit of fun, and were ugly in spirit.

F the bitch.

i get a laugh just reading of ppl complaing the laughing sid called nancy grace a "bitch".

to me thats just hilarious, but maybe its because i have a sense of humor, and many of these commenters dont.

sure its inappropriatte, but its not delivered in hate, and i find it funny. if you wanna bitch about that, then eat S and die. i need this S! and your brand of entertainment can EAT S!

its amazing all the men losers coming to poor contessa's defense. i never realized how lame average men could be.

seriously, i can think of some women who would be willing to join imus's program..... there called people that appreciatte their job.
of course contessa would only play only so very very little, showing no deferrence to the real attraction (and boss), DON IMUS!

oh no, dont mention contessa's sweater..... her grandma (grammy) is listening. the nerve of that retard to try to change the show.... at least she could have just shut up instead of arguing.

keep coming to her rescue, pathetic ones... maybe youll impress her and she'll date you.

oh, and this story revolves around the imus program, if you dont like it dont watch you secret imus addicted panzies afraid to admit you can't get enough. morons. lol.

I used to watch IMUS regularly. His disrespect exceeded his usual boundaries with Contessa Brewer. I find it hard to watch him now.

I have been an Imus fan for a long time, but he is beginning to be pretty tedious. When he is doing political interviews, he is the best in the business. But to surround himself with the likes of Bernard and Sid is tiring. Sid is particularly infuriating by calling almost every woman who appears on that show a "bitch". The last one I believe was Nancy Grace. I say Sid's lack of intelligence is showing. He must have left it in rehab.

I thought that the mix was bad. Brewer had no sense of humor and Imus' crew couldn't cope with her. She never laughed and never seemed like she was having a good time on the show. You have to be a tolerant person to work on that show and she clearly wasn't. I like watching Imus on MSNBC, but I found the show more interesting when David Gregory was hosting it. Did somebody say Wally Pipp?
