Imus in the morning

UNIVERSAL REMOTE

I discovered this morning while driving into work that WELI in New Haven—the same station that brings to the area such luminaries as Glen Beck, Sean Hannity, Idiot Fathead Rush, and Michael Savage—airs Don Imus.

Now, needless to say, Imus has his—ahem—prejudices, but included in them are his beliefs that GI George and his coterie are "morons" and the Iraq debacle is "idiotic."

Anyway, I realized as I was listening to him that a mere three degrees of separation exist between him and me. He was gushing over the new Connecticut Congressman whom he's just "discovered" (modest Mr. Imus isn't) and referred to the legislator as "Patrick" Murphy. Apparently, they're not all that close since the Constitution State's 5th District Congressman is named Chris Murphy.

Be that as it may, I sing in a choir with, and am a golfing buddy of, Rep. Murphy's cousin. So, Imus and me: we're tight.
