DON IMUS SAID WHAT?

By Michelle Malkin  •  May 2, 2005 03:13 PM

On his show last Friday, Don Imus said this about MSNBC anchor Contessa Brewer:

“That skank has to spend three hours with makeup in the morning … Who’s she kidding? . . . Plus, she’s dumber than dirt … Oh, my God, what a pig. But I was willing to cut her some slack and not say anything, you know, until – in fact, I didn’t say anything . . . That’s why they have those big double-doors there at MSNBC, you know, so they can get her fat ass in makeup.”

Advantage: Brewer.

Apparently Imus will neither be fired nor sanctioned for these over-the-line remarks about a colleague. An MSNBC spokesman told the New York Post:

Contessa Brewer is a valued and respected employee. While Don Imus’ humor is often brilliant and provocative, we believe that this morning’s comments about Contessa went over the line. We have expressed our displeasure to Don.

Seems to me that MSNBC needs to remove a lot more than “MS” from the network to improve its image.
