DON IMUS COMING BACK SOONER THAN EXPECTED?: And he’s looking for a black sidekick to keep him in line. Sharpton responds.
*Shock jock Don Imus, fired from WFAN and MSNBC for using racist and sexist remarks, may be back on the air as soon as September, according to the New York Post.
The paper says it received confirmation from private eye Bo Dietl, who was a regular on "Imus in the Morning" on WFAN.
Dietl said on Post State Editor Fred Dicker's Albany radio show, "I'm not supposed to say, but . . . if he was to be coming back, I would look to September." When Dicker asked if he meant satellite radio, Dietl replied, "Broadcast."
Word has it that Imus has been out at comedy clubs looking for an African American comic to serve as his sidekick and to keep him in check should any racial jokes pop up, the Post reports.
Rev. Al Sharpton, whose threat to boycott advertisers led to the firing of Imus, says he and his National Action Network plans to “closely monitor” Imus’ reported return to the airwaves.
“We never asked for him to have a life sentence. …We’re not saying he should never be able to work again, but we are saying it’s gotta be very clear what he’s coming back to do, under what advertisers and how,” Sharpton told EUR’s Lee Bailey. “
