Mike Barnicle with his buddy, Don Imus
Of course, the two-week suspension for Imus is from his radio show. Barnicle will be sitting in for Imus during those two weeks.
Did Imus pick his own replacement? (Updated)

A Rake's Progress 
I think that it is big mistake to fire a man that has said things for 30 years and was very sorry about what he said. He has done a lot of good for children. He is well loved although our media controls everything. I, plus many of my friends will never watch MSNBC again. You are a bunch of cowards. This man has made you bunch of knotty head idiots a ton of money. I have watched him since he came on the air. He was part of my day everyday. Rosie O’Donnell wasn’t even fired for calling her country murderers 911; I suppose it was because the ratings are up. I refuse to watch her. At least Don Imus was honest. He was willing to change his ways as he realized it was wrong what he said. I watched it and it went right over my head as I have heard African Americans call each other a lot worse than that and if anybody had watched Don Imus for any length of time they would have known He was just talking. What about the people on your station that belittles the President of the United States? I would object to that no matter who the President is because He is supposed to be respected. Everything is backward because of two stupid men Jackson and Sharpton. Two trouble makers who won’t ever stop and we just lean over and take it from them.
Shame on you. I bet the one who fired Imus is a little weasal of a man with no guts because if He had any Imus would have never been fired. Maybe, the nationality of the one who fired him had something to do with it, After all the Dollar is the most important thing. I hope your station loses all it’s ratings and as far as I am concerned you have no loyalty. YOU KNOW IMUS IS A GOOD MAN. YOU WOULD NOT EVEN STAND UP FOR HIM. I JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND THAT.

What Imus said was wrong perhaps, but no worse than anything else I’ve ever heard on other talk shows….liberal and consdervative and certainly on hip hop and urban shows.
If anything, I think Imus has apolgoized too much.
