Imus responds:  "She looks fine ... leave her alone."

FBN's segment with Dietl originally aired on November 9; FBN re-aired the segment on November 10 as part of its "Imus Extra" segment.

Previously:

Imus shoots down Bo Dietl's birther rant: "You've lost your mind. ... You were born on Mars"

Imus corrected Dietl's slur against Arabs: "It's, uh, 'camel humpers' "

Fox News contributor Dietl on Imus: "It looks like the pilgrimage in to Mecca, the amount of 'Aba Dabba Doos' that are coming in from Canada in to the United States"

Dietl on racial profiling: "[I]f I see two guys that look like Aba Daba Doo and Aba Daba Dah, I'm gonna pull 'em over"

Dietl to imams: "Call your cousin up there, Ali Baba Boo, and go by cab"

      Bo Dietl is ridiculous. I used to watch Imus, but any time Dietl came on, I changed the channel.

      Almost twenty years ago, Bo Dietl tried to look like an actor. Today, he looks like another Fox Comedy Channel loudmouth "pundit" . . .

      Oh dear sweet Lord...

      She looks like an "oriental"?

      Really? These are the guys you have on your channel? I'm surprised he didn't pretend like he had buck teeth as well.

        They should really do the show in black & white, add some static and snow to the picture, and play it as The Fox/Buick Old Timey Variety Hour.

      He was really on the NY governor advisory council?? Wow - i just lost some respect for pataki right there. Even those GOPers I kind of had respect for before are becoming far less intelligent than I once thought.

      Bo, that big machine in front of you is a camera, that beams your visage and words all over the country. I hope that helps.

      The correct term is "Asian." "Oriental" is an ethnic slur. And, Katie Couric doesn't look any more Asian than I do, and my background is Welsh and German.

      I suspect that Bo Dietl isn't as smart as he sounds.

      what is the purpose of having don imus with a show on a supposed business channel? this is why fox news and all of their entities are considered a joke. they put people like this as their morning show hosts that have absolutely NOTHING to do with what the channel does, and they expect to get ratings. and when they get ratings, especially high ones, they say they are "the number one news channel". please... when you get ratings based on idiocy, its not the same as getting ratings for journalism.
