At children's benefit, Imus flips reporters the bird, and shows 8-year-old son how to do the same
NY Observer: At Benefit, Imus and Son Flip Reporters the Bird
by David Foxley
Published: October 23, 2007

Don Imus refused to speak to the press at Christie’s auction house in Rockefeller Plaza last night, where a fund-raiser for the children’s charity S.K.I.P. was being held, but the jock-who-shocked-too-much was happy to show his eight-year-old red-headed son, Wyatt, how to flip the bird.

But before extending his exemplary middle finger before the young boy’s amused face, Mr. Imus was wandering around the art-filled galleries wearing his signature lonesome cowboy outfit: brown ten-gallon, mammoth belt buckle, holey jeans and weathered boots. A few feet behind his family, a bodyguard stood vigil over their every move.

Mr. Imus, 67, whose radio program on WFAN was infamously cancelled last spring after he employed highly insensitive language to describe some of the players on the Rutgers women’s basketball team, is expected to again return to the airwaves (he was fired from radio once before, in 1977).

2. So Let The Media follow him around to his very last day.
Imus is a tired old crazy fart, and I don't assume that's going to change. If you want crazy behavior, follow a crazy person.

What do the kids at school say when they see his dad? "Hey Wyatt, is that your great-grandpa?"

who's the mother, some 26 year old golddigger?
