Karith Foster, Imus' New (Black, Female) Sidekick

The black sidekick joining shock jock Don Imus on his return to the airwaves today is an Oxford-educated Texas cowgirl whose career has ranged from broadcast journalism to stand-up comedy, sources told The Post.

Karith Foster, a Harlem resident who grew up outside Dallas, was brought on by Imus to ease tension stirred up by his racist comment about the Rutgers women's basketball team, which got him booted in April, sources said.

Karith, you are going to have a lot of fun on the new show. It will be like being in the boy's locker room. Good luck on your new career.

I guess Robin Givens wasn't available.

As Chris Rock put it so well, the greatest threat is not al-Qaeda but al-Cracker­. Imus has it in him to be a good human. It is not unmanly to show compassion and be a gentleman. He need not cater to al-Cracker­.

Once again, Imus rips off Howard to further his flagging, bloated career.

With all these tokens around, the Lynch-the-­Duke-Lacro­sse-Player­s racist hate-monge­rs "hymietown­" Jackson and "Tawana Brawley" Sharpton are getting more and more of their colleagues off welfare. Perhaps that's good, in a disgusting and perverse sort of way.

I'm trying to see if most people think adding a few black comedians to Imus' show is enough to redeem him. Please go here and vote whether you think Imus is redeemed

Nona - I'm with you, Morning Joe sucks. Mika is the most obnoxious woman on television­. Joe is boring and never shuts up. I used to like Willie but he's wasted on there. Good riddance and hello again, Imus in the Morning.

I'm so happy my favorite morning program is back on the air. I thought she did a good job for her first day on the job. I'm already looking forward to tomorrow's program.

You people are IDIOTS. Imus has NEVER HAD RATINGS, NEVER. Comparing him to Howard Stern, who was number one in so many markets for OVER 20 years, is literally the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Imus is a racist loser, always has been, always will be. Imus has never been number one in any market at anytime during his pathetic career. Absolute IDIOTS.

Imus is a racist scumbag. Always has been. He repeatedly abused black women at NBC in the 80's, and no way has he changed. Anyone who is a "fan" of this old creep has got to be out of their shriveled up minds. Idiots.

It was a great show!!! Glad to have Imus back on the air. He is the best interviewe­r on radio or television­, bar none. Imus is obviously a fan (and friend) of McCain, but was tough on him about his policy regarding gays in the military. Imus is not the one-dimens­ional poster boy some would have you believe.
If you watched the show, please comment. If you didn't watch, then please keep your 'non-comme­nt' to yourself. Welcome back Imus -- you have been missed.
