Much Like Bo Himself, His Appearance Today Was Short and Feisty

Bo was only allotted a few brief moments with the I-Man today, and pretty much squandered them, first by stating an obvious fact, and then by speculating about one that will never be proven. 

“If this thing would have went off, and this guy would have gotten it right, there could have been a lot of dead people here in New York,” said Bo, referring to Saturday’s failed attempt to set off a car bomb in Times Square. “We were a target, and we will be a target again.”

At which point Imus cried, “Who doesn’t know that? We’re a target? Really? You’re kidding!”

Bo thinks Congress should give more money to New York City to combat terrorism instead of sending funds to places like Omaha, Nebraska, where he said, “Nobody wants to blow anything up!”

Not so. “They’re after the guy who runs RFD,” Imus said, sending himself into a fit of laughter.

Looking to be edgy, Bo cited President Obama’s shtick from Saturday night’s White House Correspondents Dinner, in which he joked around about the controversy concerning his birth certificate.

“He was funny,” Imus protested. “You’re a hater. You’re a dope.”

Bo pushed the envelope even further, claiming that Obama never attended Columbia University because his picture is not in the yearbook, or something.

“Don’t waste my time on this,” Imus cautioned his friend. “You’re so stupid, you make my toenails hurt.”

But Bo pressed on, calling Obama a “Manchurian candidate” who “came in on a flying saucer.”

And if he could, Imus would send Bo out on one.  “Thank you for coming and appearing on the program,” he told Bo. “Now, get out.”
