Imus: CBS Bosses Money-Grubbing Jews

Hot on the heels of Mel Gibson and Michael Richards, radio personality Don Imus let loose with his own barrage of antisemitic vitriol on the November 30 broadcast of his "Imus in the Morning" show.

That morning, the program, which is produced in New York by WFAN and simulcast on MSNBC, was going to host a group of gospel singers known as the Blind Boys of Alabama. In anticipation of their appearance, Imus recalled reservations voiced by station supervisors prior to an earlier appearance by the group.

"I tried to put it in terms that these money-grubbing bastards could understand," Imus replied. "I said: 'They're handicapped, they're black and they're blind. How do we lose here?' And then a light bulb went off over their scummy little heads."

Imus co-host Larry Kenney, an impressionist who appeared earlier in the program as the Rev. Jerry Falwell, then said: "They probably were trying to push a more Semitic group on you. I don't know, maybe the Paralyzed Putzes of Poland, or something like that."
