Four Three Two One... Friday, Apr. 27, 2007 - 1:18 a.m. Yesterday, Professor Stephen Hawking experienced zero gravity flight. I can only imagine how it must have felt for him to be free of his only enemy. --- Imus In The Morning producer Bernard McGuirk weighs in.
But McGuirk said he and Imus had engaged in the same locker-room humor for many years, and received pats on the back and raises from their superiors before CBS Radio fired them this time. He sharply criticized the Rev. Al Sharpton, who led the campaign to get them fired. "It seemed like he terrorized broadcast executives," he said. "It seemed like they were in a fetal position under their desks sucking their thumbs on their Blackberrys, trying to coordinate their response." The concept of "crossing the line" is hard to understand when it's not clear where the line is, he said. "It's a horrible thing for this country where people can't poke fun at each other and just joke around, have a good time, without fear of being hammered by the PC police or lose your livelihood over it," he said. He made some good points, but it's like closing the barn after the horses are out. Fuck. --- It was fun to see Regis Philbin back in the chair yesterday. He looks pretty good and I'm glad he's back. Special guest David Letterman's advice to him for keeping his health: "I'd stay the hell away from The View; they're dropping like flies over there." --- Okay I think that's it. Have a good Friday. ---
