Imus is threatening to sue if CBS doesn't give him his job back

Considering that so much of the pundit class didn't have a problem with Imus' over-decade of racism, sexism, anti-Semitism and homophobia, he has an odd point. Namely, that CBS didn't warn him to watch it or else. CBS was fine with Imus' bigotry, so long as it brought them cash. And the pundit class had no problem going on his show - and many of them continue to defend him. Hell, John Kerry defended the guy. I don't think there's a chance in hell that Imus will get his job back, fortunately the wrath of the people won out on this one, but it is amazing what it takes to wake people up to the reality of hate in the year 2007.
