Aimless In The Morning, again.

Aimless, the leftist moron who was branded a rightist moron by other leftist morons for political purposes and driven off the radio is about to return. The only interesting question is how far left-fascist he will go to keep this gig.

The State: Imus on the air soon

A six-month vacation, a multimillion-dollar contract settlement and the prospect of a new, nationally syndicated gig. Does that qualify as penance for Don Imus, fired last spring amid a national furor sparked by his racist on-air remark?

Hardly, say some of his critics. The idea of Imus returning to the airwaves just months after his public meltdown is nearly as insulting as his crude comments about the Rutgers women’s basketball team, they contend.

But Imus’ return appears inevitable. Rumors suggest he could return to the air by December, most likely on New York-based WABC-AM, owned by Citadel Broadcasting.

Imus has declined comment, but Citadel CEO Farid Suleman recently defended the shock jock.
“He didn’t break the law,” Suleman told The New York Times last week. “He’s more than paid the price for what he did.”

Imus was fired in April after echoing a cohort’s infamous “nappy headed hos” comment. He had just signed a $40 million, five-year deal with CBS Radio and collected a lucrative settlement after threatening a breach-of-contract lawsuit over his firing.

He then spent much of his time at the New Mexico ranch where he hosts dying children, one of his philanthropic causes.

Among the first to give Imus a “get on the air” pass was the Rev. Al Sharpton, who said in July that Imus had a right to make a living. And the Imus core audience is older, affluent and likely to rejoin the I-man.

Tom Taylor, of the industry Web site radio-info.com, said he expects Suleman to stick with Imus unless the backlash becomes too intense.
