Many of you have been emailing me with comments and sharing your outrage over Don Imus' firing. Here are a couple of places on the web for Imus fans:
The first is a new website keeping track of the Imus controversy. The site will be posting past audio from Imus' show, to point out some of the hypocrisy of the former guests who are now piling on him. There's a box on the site to sign up to receive e-mail updates. The address is IMUSTRUTH.COM.
Also, a California radio station is refusing to take Imus off the air. They've been airing reruns of his program every morning, mixed in with live calls from listeners wanting to weigh in. KCAA-AM also offers a podcast of the program, updated every day. To go to their website, CLICK HERE.
The article at the following link asserts that Hillary's sympathizers were behind the demise of the "IMAS IN THE MONRNING" PROGRAM. That would not be surprising!

Report at 5/2/2007 says "ONE BITE" IMUS LAWSUIT IMMINENT:
http://money.cnn.com/2007/05/01/news/newsmakers/pluggedin_arango_imus.fortune/index.htm?
The language, according to this source, was part of a five-year contract that went into effect in 2006 and that paid Imus close to $10 million a year. It stipulates that Imus be given a warning before being fired for doing what he made a career out of - making off-color jokes. The source described it as a "dog has one- bite clause." A lawsuit could be filed within a month, this person predicted

Monica, I love that you have set this blog up for the I-man. Please let him know that his fans miss him and are working hard to get out the word about how his show and image have been horribly distorted by the MSM.

Monica, your Best of Imus was better than any of the live shows MSNBC has come up since they unfairly fired him. I wish you could continue these - I'd watch them.
You'll be interested to know that Don Imus has a slew of female fans and we've found eachother on Imustruth.com and many other places We're working tirelessly to get him back on the air where he belongs.

Monica,
Your the shiznitz, thanks for being real.

Monica, You have more guts in your pinky finger than all of the weasels that piled on Imus combined. Thank you for taking a stand. You've certainly gained my respect and a new fan. I still can't believe they pulled the plug during a radiothon for kids. That really pissed me off! How heartless is that?

Dave (guts) & Ree (shiznitz), you're right on. Especially now, when we I-stooges are soooo desperate for anything real (Fox News & Stag beer--after a while, it gets tolerable), Monica is the real deal. For you Monica newbies, check out her Nixon books from the 90's (ala DKGoodwin & LBJ, except RN wasn't chasing Monica around like Imus used to kid Doris about LBJ!).

I just found this site through www.supportimus.org
Thank you so much for giving the Imus fans another place to voice our fury over losing the I-Man. My mornings are ruined and it carries over to the rest of the day.
I am praying he comes back somewhere. At first, I wanted him back the way it was. Now, I don't want him anywhere near the nitwits on MSNBC. I hope he cleans up in his law suit and then finds another way to get back on the air.
