Further proof, if more were needed, that absolutely everything is about the Benjamins came with the decision Wednesday evening to fire Imus.
Imus had a huge, loyal audience. They've been fired, too.
It's time to mark the victory of political correctness over free speech. It's time to mourn the death of irreverance and edgy humor.
The victim in all this, ultimately, will be the kids with cancer who benefited enormously from the Imus Ranch and the way he used his program to raise money to help them.
MSNBC is a chickenshit organization. And shame on Imus' friends like Ed Schultz of Air America who were on the air Wednesday night saying, yeah, it was right that he be fired.
I only wish we could stop all the silly jabbering about "land of the free." We are becoming a country of, by and for corporate America and whatever "advertising sponsors" declare is OK to say.
