And before you say, "takes one to know one," check out this interview he just conducted with Fox News Channel/ FBC's Neil Cavuto; interview was taped a short while ago - Imus is on the tub-thumping circuit for his new "Imus in the Morning" show that'll begin this Monday on the Fox Business Channel from 6 to 9 a.m.
Naturally, Neil got around to the question was in other people's mind - are there parallels between this and your situation at CBS three years ago? (And of course, there was another famous sexual indiscretion case in the highest levels of network TV at Fox a few years back, involving Bill O'Reilly and a staffer on his show - all settled quietly out of court, and life went on for Bill.)The outtakes:
On David Letterman:
On whether CBS was right in firing him: “You have an obligation if you work for News Corp or GE to behave yourself. They shouldn’t have [stood by me]… it’s irrelevant as to whether I was kidding or not. It starts with the comment. They get put in a position, in this case at CBS. What are they going to do? I fully understand that. Probably what I would have done.”
