This is what Imus has done for years and years, and Viacom and NBC Universal pay him a king’s ransom to do it. Imus has been questioned about his tactics over the years, and he says repeatedly and dismissively, “Get over it.”

</p>

<p>Michael Wilbon: <a href=“http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/10/AR2007041001891.html[/url]”>http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/10/AR2007041001891.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>

It’s Imus who called William C. Rhoden, the veteran Times sports columnist, “a quota hire.”

</p>

<p>

Imus is the one who said in 1995 of Gwen Ifill, an accomplished, award-winning black journalist of incredible dignity and grace: "Isn’t the [New “York] Times wonderful. . . . It lets the cleaning lady cover the White House.”

[Mike]Wallace: "You’ve told Tom Anderson, the producer, in your car coming home that Bernard McGuirk is there to do ■■■■■■ jokes.'</p>

<p>Imus: “Well, I’ve . . . I never use that word.”</p>

<p>Wallace: “Tom?”</p>

<p>Tom Anderson: “I’m right here.”</p>

<p>Imus: "Did I use that word?</p>

<p>Anderson: “I recall you using that word.”</p>

<p>Imus: “Oh, okay, well then I used that word, but I mean . . . of course that was an off-the-record conversation . . .”</p>

<p>Wallace: “The hell it was.”

</p>

<p>

[Wilbon] You’ll have to excuse me for not believing a man can utter this brand of filth month after month, then proclaim testily he’s not a bigot.
