Imus on President Clinton: "This is a fat, low-rent hillbilly"
On the January 30 edition of ABC Radio Networks' Imus in the Morning, while discussing the results of the January 29 Florida presidential primary, host Don Imus described former President Bill Clinton as "a fat, low-rent hillbilly who was getting BJs from an intern in the Oval Office in the White House who was about the age of his daughter." After Bernard McGuirk, the show's executive producer, said, "He's been accused of rape," Imus continued, calling Clinton "a dirtbag."
From the January 30 edition of ABC Radio Networks' Imus in the Morning:
IMUS: And here's what you have to remember about Bill Clinton; you can't forget this.
CHARLES McCORD (news anchor): Yeah?
IMUS: This is a fat, low-rent hillbilly --
McCORD: [laughing] Yes.
IMUS: -- who was getting BJs from an intern in the Oval Office in the White House who was about the age of his daughter. This is a fat boy who, you know, when he sits down with Chris Wallace, Chris can't punch him because the Secret Service is there. But the -- so he's just a, I mean, I don't get that.
McCORD: Well.
McGUIRK: He's been accused of rape.
McCORD: Yeah.
IMUS: He's just a low-rent, no [unintelligible] -- wouldn't even let him live in most trailer parks.
McGUIRK: Sleazebag.
ROB BARTLETT (guest): So what's your point?
IMUS: He's a dirtbag.
I don't think the term "low rent hillbilly" was very appropriate.
'White trash serial sexual offendor" fits a tad better.
Just remember, if you ever need to calm a group of rabid conservatives... just say "Reagan" over and over... they'll fall asleep like lambs.
Muttering "Clinton" has the oppostite effect.
I'm sure Hillary will be just as good and I figure once she is president the Democrats will establish a forever majority based on the theory that 20 million conservatives' heads will literally explode.
I beg to differ. I believe 20 million Conservatives heads will literally explode long before that IF John McCain gets the Republican nomination....including mine.
BTW, I'm not a huge fan of Romney BUT I have to give the guy kudos here for having the fortitude not to haul off & punch McCain's lights out during last night's debate.
McCain is a disturbing nasty gremlin & a war hawk lunitic. God help this country if he's elected.
Hey thanks Snoop, as usual you are just too good to me :-)
This "adapt a conservative foundation" you're setting up, is it another one of those it takes a village programs? ;-)
"who was getting BJs from an intern in the Oval Office in the White House who was about the age of his daughter."
Even the most basic of math and research is a problem for Imus.
Monica Lewinsky was 22 at the time of the affair.
Chelsea Clinton is 7 years younger than Monica.
I guess when you're 100 years old, 15 and 22 seem to be pretty much the same. >:-)
Does Imus wear a toupee ? Because that hair looks horrid !
Good Gawd Imus - how many DECADES are you older than your CURRENT wife you hypocrite.
According to Wikipedia, Deirdre Imus was born in 1964 (no date given), and Don Imus was born July 23, 1940. That makes him 2.4 decades older than his wife.
...So how close in age were Imus's CURRENT WIFE and his FIRST marriage's oldest child... when they first met. Hmmmm. And I'm sure his current wife was a virgin when they were married... It just pisses me off how off the deep end some of these bozos go because of a Clinton's consensual extramarital sex and completely ignore things that are thousands of times more important.
That's the only thing that makes sense to me.
Being called a fat hillbilly by Imus is like being called ugly by a frog, a snake, a lizard, an egotistical Neanderthal. Where was the outrage among Blacks when Imus once again oozed from his fang-draped lips a vile racial stereotype to demean Blacks, men and women, (fat and skinny, young and old, okay let's throw in the entire human race), when he said that remark about Bill Clinton being the first Black president because he likes fat, white women? Imus is a foul old man with a foul need to pollute the airwaves.
What do you take away of value from a person who spends hours demeaning other people?
This is a fat boy who, you know, when he sits down with Chris Wallace, Chris can't punch him because the Secret Service is there.
Imus sounds like the low rent hill billy. Unless Chris mentioned to Donny at one of their "high class soirees" that "I would have punched the hick if the SS wasn't right there". Plausible? On a side note, I hope Chris' father the best.
So what I ask? Is Bill Clinton an upstanding citizen for getting BJ's in the Oval Office? Is he a liar and thief like his wife? Was he sued by other women for a variety of sexual misconduct? You can answer all these with an astounding YES! So low rent, low class hillbilly is actually a compliment.
You cannot have it both ways. This is Don Imus' opinion and you cannot do a thing about it.. BJ Clinton is a public figure. MMFA and all those who defend him and his fat ugly wife should know all the facts first.
BCBV has questions: "Is Bill Clinton an upstanding citizen for getting BJ's in the Oval Office?"
RESPONSE: No. He's an upstanding citizen for being a very good President for this nation, and devoting his life to public service.
BCBV asks, "Is he a liar and thief like his wife?"
RESPONSE: EMPHATICALLY NO. Neither is a liar OR a thief. Of course, if you can point to a CONVICTION of either legal offense, bring it on, and I will change my view. It's up to you ... EVIDENCE?
BCBV asks: "Was he sued by other women for a variety of sexual misconduct?"
RESPONSE: Uh, he WAS sued by Paula Jones, and the case was thrown out of court. I'm not aware of any other FALSE accusations that made it to a lawsuit. Again ... EVIDENCE?
BCBV: "You can answer all these with an astounding YES!"
RESPONSE: Not HONESTLY, you can't.
BCBV: "So low rent, low class hillbilly is actually a compliment."
RESPONSE: No, it's namecalling, the complaints are baseless, and that makes YOU beneath contempt.
I seem to rember those initials, maybe. Place called snopes, I think, answers your vague accusations. If you can find one they don't have, do come back and character assasinant some more. Practice a condescending voice while you study.
I'm curious as to what we're having both ways though.
We are doing something about it, and so are you.
I promise you, if you'd care to spar on Clinton history, real or mythological, there are several here who'll pin your ears back.
Investigation via the net has easily shot down alot of bunk here for the rest of us.
Come play?
George Orwell
The amazing part is that it only took a few weeks and that frikkin' prunehead was right back in front of a microphone. He doesn't know when to keep that yap of his under control.
I guess the idea that a 22 year old woman found a 50 year old Bill Clinton appealing, is disgusting to Imus. But even now, at 62, Bill Clinton is more appealing than Imus at any age because Imus's look and personality are disgusting.
IMUs...Is he back on the radio? I thought he died. At least he looks dead.
Do I detect jealous about Clinton and the BJ's? I think that these talkers are just jealous of First Mister Clinton. And as mentioned before, do not get too close to any Republan in the future as their heads are about to implode. Get over it Repubs, your lives will get better when the Dems control everything...you are great at playing follow the leader.
And could someone inform me as to why Mitt won't use his real first name but the Cons want to use Obamas' middle name?
media matters needs to be more respectful of the dead.
rip don imus...
Maybe Imus means that Bill Clinton gave hillbillies a bad name.
At any rate I do wish Bill would fade into the background and allow Hillary to succeed or fail on her merits. Bill has created the impression that he is the one running for office. As high as Bill's popularity numbers are many people are still greatly offended by his (known) sexual escapades while in the White House. I wish Bill was a non-factor in this race.
Don Imus raped me!
There Iman, now you've been accused of rape, too.
And for a guy who dresses like a wannabe cowboy, you sure don't have much room to talk about anyone's appearance. You look like somone who should be standing at the nearest interstate on-ramp carrrying a "Will work for food!" sign.
The above descriptions of Imus...on-ramp sign carrier, prune face, mummified, etc. are so much better and more accurate descriptions than Imus' stupid hill billy put down.
Humor has to actually have a kernel of truth. Imus has none of that.
Bill says the way to save the planet is to slow down our economy. We don't need a recession, we need a depression.
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/01/bill-we-just-ha.html
"And maybe America, and Europe, and Japan, and Canada -- the rich counties [sic] -- would say, "OK, we just have to slow down our economy and cut back our greenhouse gas emissions 'cause we have to save the planet for our grandchildren." We could do that. But if we did that, you know as well as I do, China and India and Indonesia and Vietnam and Mexico and Brazil and the Ukraine, and all the other countries will never agree to stay poor to save the planet for our grandchildren. The only way we can do this is if we get back in the world's fight against global warming and prove it is good economics that we will create more jobs to build a sustainable economy that saves the planet for our children and grandchildren. It is the only way it will work."
And by the way, Col. Mustard said that you were never in the library with him.
If you actually take the time to listen to IMUS more than once all the way through, you can hear that the Imus Show is a daily comedy radio show broken up by so-called serious interviews with real politicians and entertainers and spiked with country music along the way.
Taking Imus' comments out of context and presenting them here, as you continue to do, proves nothing except that you guys at MM have taken your eye off of people like OReilly and Rush, who are hate mongerers, liars, and demigogues, pure and simple.
Add to that the facts the Imus is actually making good on his word by having added real diversity to his cast and he is also having real conversations with a greater diversity of people on the subject of race in America; not mention the singular fact that Imus use his forum to raise public awareness and money for charitable causes all the time !!!
Compared to Bill OReilly, Imus looks like Mother Theresa.
Plus MM could give us more of the nearly daily adolescent hilarity of Chris Matthews - give me more from the infantile mouth of Matthews and leave Imus alone!
