Looks like Stern got his wish...to still be on the air when he dies.

I can’t say I know much about Imus apart from his Rutgers comment, and Stern related moments-but it seems like he ran a pretty nice charity.

God as my witness, I did not realize the Huffington Post still exists

Like Mother Jones (whose namesake is rolling in her grave) and Daily Kos, it's another "lefty" outlet that's been made entirely irrelevant by the emergence of an actual U.S. left wing. All they have anymore is stuff like this

He's talking about Stern, not Imus. Stern is still on the air.

Ah I get it. I think they both buried the hatchet recently, per Stern's whole old-age maturity now.

The Rutgers comment is his legacy now, not helped much by the fact people like Laura Ingraham (who I remember on his MSNBC show bashing Clinton constantly) eulogized him on Twitter last night.

I've said it elsewhere here but I was a fan of his MSNBC show. A crotchety old guy making fun of the news, as someone who was a crank in the morning and thought 8 AM was way too early to start school, was better television to wake up to than Today or Good Morning America. It was doubly fascinating to see how a radio show worked.
