On Imus  —  I would have fired Don Imus years ago.  Because he's boring.  And if he should have been fired as a racist, that, also, should have occurred years ago.  Howard Stern has been exposing his racism for more than a decade (odd, by the way, that few if any news reports went to Stern for this perspective).
