[BC] Imus Comedy record & Today show

[Chuck Lakaytis]

He said a litle more then a prank.  He called the members of a college 
basketball team, who by the way worked harder then Imus has ever thought of 
working in his miserable life, black whores.

I will tell you that if anyone ever called my daughters or neices whores, 
within the hour they wold have the muzzle of one of my pistols shoved down 
his miserable throat.

I loved radio and television.  Now we have become the lowest common 
denominator form of entertainment.

I stay in it in Alaska, because what I do is still important to a whole lot 
of folks.  I take a great deal of pleasure in flying into some village and 
being greeted by smiles.
