It’s Not about Rap Music, Ashwipe
It’s about rich guys (crotchety and otherwise) enabling Bush to use fear and intimidation to exploit our monumental grief after 9/11.
Imus is not just taking heat for American racist attitudes. He's also soaking up some of the collective rancor that should be directed at the whole (neo)conservative Iraq rape factory: Rove, Cheney, FoxNews, MSNBC, CNN, Judith Miller, the American Enterprise Institute, and the editorial pages of the Washington Post, New York Times, and Wall Street Journal.
Something is seriously wrong with our public sphere, but Election '06, the Libby conviction, the marginalization of FoxNews, and the Imus moment are evidence of a corrective mechanism. Scalps are being collected as the recognition of a misbegotten Global War on Terror sets in among the American people.
post-9/11 stupor and the people's collective loathing of Bush and the culture of incompetent, angry, corrupt, and ignorant cronies he represents grows, the public will happily collect scalps like Imus' while they wait for the shoe to drop on AG Gonzales, Cheney, and Bush himself.
