Imus: Obama "Almost A Bigger Pussy" Than Hillary

MediaMatters reports that on his radio show this morning, Don Imus said that Barack Obama is "almost a bigger pussy than [Hillary Clinton]." From the Media Matters summary:

During the April 17 edition of Imus in the Morning, host Don Imus asserted that Sen. Barack Obama is "almost a bigger pussy than" Sen. Hillary Clinton. While discussing the April 16 Democratic debate, Imus said he thought that co-moderator George Stephanopoulos was "great" and that the debate was "fine," adding: "I thought Senator Obama was on the defensive most of the night. But they're both sissy boys or sissy girls, or whatever. Because they talk big when they're out on the campaign trail, wolfing on each other." News anchor Charles McCord interjected, "But then," and Imus continued: "And then when they show up at the debate, they fold up like a couple of cheap lawn chairs. I mean, I don't understand that. And he's almost a bigger pussy than she is."

Imus, whose Imus?

[mesuki]

If I were Imus,I'd keep a low profile after getting his ass kicked with the comment he made about the woman basketball players. Why do people even care what he says? he's a jerk,and he looks like a damn corpse.

[cla62]

They care about him as much as that hack Rhodes!! Lose them both as far as I'm concerned.

[bodhibabe]

Of course, I just interpret it to mean that Obama is more balanced in his manifestation of masculine/feminine energy than Clinton.

[PioneerKing]

the only pussy is Imus, everyone remembers Imus crying like a baby with a fungal diaper rash when he got reamed for making nasty comments about the Rutgers girls basketball team.
Imus was a real pussy then crying on national tv and whining that "...I'm not a bad man I'm just a person who said a bad thing," what a pussy

[letsdealwithrealissues]

Can we stop insulting pussy? Pussy is just too wonderful to be associated with Don Imus!

[missionimpossible]

Obama a pussy? Imus couldn't even fit into Obama's jock straps.

[BetterDeadthanRedState]

Someone gave this turd a radio show?

[pattyfish]

does Imas even remember what PUSSY is....he is like100 years old....why...why do we pay attention to this piece of shit is beyond me.....

[Hallucinocynic]

Imus is a moral reprobate.

[Syco]

I can't believe I defended this fool. I was probably the only black guy to do it. He not only insulted black people but he insulted women as well.

[Felicty]

Why would you do that? Was not his sexism and racism evident enough?

[Genna]

I know let's just call them *pussies*. It describes a woman's external reproductive organ. It is not desirable attribute for a man to have. How can that be wrong, right? Well, in the context used here it is a bad thing. I have heard Robin WIlliams (in a comedy skit), John Stewart and Steven Colbert use it in the childish, jocular context. Deal with d*cks if that is what you need to do.

It hit me at the dog whistle level then with the Daily Show and the Colbert Report because they were using the words in a political context. Now I call foul.

Look guys, leave female anatomy out of it. If you think a candidate is weak, call them weak. Don't point out the seat of a woman's body, literally and figuratively, and use it to contemplate a person's power.

What exactly is so funny about that?

I. RESENT. DON IMUS.

The wimp thing men and some insensitive women have brought out to tag Democrats as always aggravated me. Men have to be He-men to be acceptable in this Chris Matthews' labeled daddy Republican America. If a man does not support the death penalty, he is a punk.

Punk?
Not too good.

Wimp?
too nampy pampy.

Gay?
Well that acts as if homosexuality is a bad thing.

Pussy?
NO!

Unless I'm totally overlooking someone, the problem is that there are no women with their own shows. I think it would too shocking for a woman to have her own show acting like one of the boys using the term pussy in some postmodernist fashion. People would trip.

Same goes for the movie industry.

I use to say the "c' word in front of a boyfriend just to watch him scworm(sp). He had a problem with the virgin slut dichotomy.

[unenrolled]

Where is Bill Clinton in all this. No good man would let someone say that about his wife, maybe he just doesn't think she is worth the trouble.

[RobertaInCT]

Let's be fair....Where's Michell Obama? Imus really insulted her husband calling him a "pu**y..................:)

[unenrolled]

Well Obama does not and Hillary, does how is that for fair. I didn't say it Imus did.

[unenrolled]

Imus really said that about Hillary where is Bill on this.

[unenrolled]

Should a man not defend the honor of his woman?

[gjoh]

Imus couldn't identify pussy in a police line up.

[Tropiholic]

Who gives a care what shriveled old prune face imus thinks? He could never hope to be 10% of the man Obama is.

[BetterDeadthanRedState]

That's true. Real men who are secure, don't project their fears on other people by calling them "Pussies." I think Imus probably has bimbo silhouettes on his pick-up truck mud flaps. Who are people like that trying to impress? The silhouettes could hardly be a chick magnet. More likely they're afraid they're buddies might think they're gay.

[BustaMoveNow]

Ha Ha Ha...great post!! :-)

[MRminutman]

Wait I'm confused-

When did Keith Richards get his own talk show?

[writerjohnny]

The definition of a "pussy"(a completely repulsive term) is a guy who calls someone a "pussy", but not face to face. Imus is a radio coward. Let's see if he'll Invite me on his show and I'll pay my own way and while I am in his presence let's see if he can muster the courage to call a regular person a derogatory name face to face. I'll have no problem telling him that I think he's a jerk, a liar and a coward.

[andyboy]

Imus was a shock jock back in the day. Now? A schlock jock.

[SamBrown]

Always amused at these twerps who build themselves a "no nonsense, man's man" bul*shit persona and ride it all the way to the bank, or in some cases, the Presidency.
They seem to forget though that in reality they are just glorified discjockeys or run-of-the-mill failures who got lucky. Real men don't wear cowboy hats indoors just to look macho.
Obama is a "pussy" eh? Was he supposed to start hollering or hitting somebody? Just what would have been the MANLY reaction on national TV to being pestered with nonsensical irrelevant questions?
Does Imus wear a flag on his lapel? Inquiring minds just HAVE to know!
