WABC radio, out of New York, the most listened to talk station in the nation, is hiring Don Imus to do their morning drive time. When MSNBC and CBS decided to fire him last year (or was it earlier this year?) I said that it was not censorship and completely within their rights as a private company to fire their employee if they thought him bad for business. Now that WABC is hiring him, I say the same. There will be some who say, "He should not be allowed to be on the radio." But why not? If WABC thinks he will gain them listeners, then it is their right. He broke no laws.Here's a strange irony. WABC is the number one talk station in the nation and is flag ship to the number 1 and 2 radio hosts in the country (Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity). Their line up also features conservatives Mark Levin, Laura Ingram, John Gambling, etc. Don Imus, an unabashed political liberal will have their number one time, morning drive.

Kuby was a pretty big liberal. I wonder what he's got to say about this?
Kuby was a communist! Still is. But he was balanced by Curtis Sliwa who made his ideas look dumb on a daily basis (kind of like Hannity is the star of Hannity and Combs).
What does Kuby think? He think's that WABC is trading a show with great ratings for a flash in the pan.
Curtis and Kuby, I believe, regularly beat Don Imus' Imus in the morning show in the ratings. Right now Imus will be hot. But that will settle down and people will listen to other stations. Then Kuby will be out of a job, but he'll have the last laugh.
Anyway, as a successful "civil rights" lawyer he has lots of terrorists, thugs, and mobsters to defend and keep him rich.
Kuby goes back to court, but what is to happen to Curtis? Back to Mickey D's? He's getting too old to survive any future mob hits as a Guardian Angel!
