Imus In The Morn

As the Father Cardinal John O'Connor used to say.
On the way to work today playing Don Imus on the radio. He was interviewing John McCain. It is painful for me to listen to this presidential candidate, he seems to struggle for the right words almost as much as George W Bush mangles syllables (in his words sill-AH-bluz). Polish has little effect on me though, both are honorable, decent men who care about leadership above socialistic goals.
Having listened to Imus for close to 40 years, I am a fan, that thinks he made an excellent point from his own personal experience.
When Don Imus made the distasteful remarks about the women's basketball players from Rutgers, Obama was one of the first senators to stand up and call for Imus to be fired. In contrast, when Reverend Wright's inflammatory racial sermons became part of the national news, Obama's reaction was to distance himself and continue to show respect for the religious zealot, no repudiations, no calls for dismissal, no suggestions of punishment. The point was well taken by me, but surely falls on the deaf ears of, supposed, enlightened followers. This is a parallel to the behavior of Muslim Arabs. All actions taken by Israel and the United States are crimes against god and given full support in liberal Anglo media. Whereas the actions of the Arabs in terroristic defense of Islam are given the benefit of the doubt by both their religious leaders and the sycophantic press.
I agree with Don Imus, the candidate Obama is a hypocrite.
