Who'll Get The Last Ho Ho Ho?

I used to listen to Imus with much pleasure, mainly because of his guests,
like Andrea Mitchell and other good news hawks.
What I heard one day made my blood run cold. First, that goon who needed a
shave referred to Shirley Chishom as 'Shirley Jizzum', everyone laughed,
and Imus and some of the others laughed at how ugly, old, and wrinkled she
looked.
That was the end for me. For that alone he should have been taken off the
air, and making fun of the old and the young (coeds) is not my idea of good
humor--it seems much too spiteful.
