Imus is back in south Florida

While I try to figure out that tax rebate crap, here's some more shitty news for those of us in America's Glans™: nappy-headed radio personality douchebag Don Imus is coming back to our airwaves beginning next week:

Little-known (until now) radio station WSVU-960 AM, based in PBG, starts airing Imus in the Morning at 6 a.m. Monday. The area will become only the second market in Florida, after Tampa, to pick up shock jock Don Imus, nine months after he trashed the women of Rutgers University basketball. Fired by CBS Radio in April, Imus returned to work in December at ABC Radio Networks.

"I've already got a lot of positive feedback from advertisers," said SVU owner Chet Tart about his move. "And listeners love the idea." The station usually plays American standards like Frank Sinatra and Barbra Streisand, aiming to reach the 45-and-over crowd.

So is Tart ready for more controversy? "What happened last year won't happen again," Tart says. "Besides, his show is on a 30-second delay. The network took all its precautions."

Positive feedback from advertisers? I can't wait to hear what advertisers they've gotten. My guess: gun shops, strip clubs, and beer ... precisely the sort of things that would appeal to the "listeners [who] love the idea." You know -- the "45-and-over crowd" who like Sinatra and Streisand. (I'm three years shy of that demographic, but 45 for Sinatra and Streisand?!? Jeebus ...). That group is also known as "Fox News' base."

I don't know who's worse: Imus and his ilk themselves, or the rat bastards like Chet Tart (now that's a name) who give those racist twatwaffles a forum to spout their filth. The good news, such as it is, is that the station carrying Imus is, to coin a phrase, "virtually irrelevant." Which is what Imus should be.

Good thing you'll have that 30-second delay, Chet. Because that's exactly how long your engineers will have to decide whether the next batshit crazy, inflammatory thing Imus says is something we need to hear. And you know it's coming ... it's just a matter of time.
