Oh, Bo. Better Luck Next Time.
With little time at his disposal this morning, Bo wasted precious moments complaining about, well, the little time at his disposal this morning.
“I have some of the most important things in the world to talk about!” he screeched.
Maybe. But as Imus pointed out, Bo often rails about nonsense, or about a topic already covered on this and every other program in the world.
In keeping with this observation, Bo went right to the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico, suggesting the way to fix the problem is to blow up the hundreds of feet of rock on either side of the well and hope that the rocks would cover the crack and stop the flow of oil.
“You can use nuclear submarines to go down there!” he yelped, and claimed “some underwater demolition guys” had given him this idea.
Funny, because at that exact moment, Imus wished Bo was underwater. Weird.
As for why nobody had thought of this plan before, Bo cried, “Because sometimes the simplest answers are right in front of your faces! Like Sarah Jessica Parker!”
Having lurched off the deep end, Bo turned discussion the oil spill into a complaint about Sarah Jessica Parker’s looks, and then moved on to something about Wall Street, or Gordon Gekko, or whatever. Either way, the point was lost, and so was Imus’s patience.
“Each week I think, can he possibly come in and be more of an idiot than he was the week before?” Imus said about Bo. “And he can.”
And it turns out Imus had his own plan for fixing the oil leak disaster in the Gulf. “You know what they should plug that hole with?” he asked Bo. “You.”

In speaking of a possible solution to the Gulf oil disaster, Bill Maher asked the question on Real Time: "Why don't we just bomb it?
Knowing nothing of how these things work, I, too, wonder why we can't blow it up that it implode on itself. Can anyone educate me on this?
