Bo Dietl Wars With Fellow Golfers, Then Takes on Poor Warner

Imus said, “Congrats on you and your team winning the golf thing,” to Bo Dietl this morning, but what he meant was, “You’re not allowed to win next year’s Imus Ranch Golf Outing because you ruin it for everyone else."

“The other people get so disheartened, it isn’t any fun,” Imus said of Bo’s decision to invite four semi-professional golfers to play on his team this year. “Then you get drunk and belligerent.”

Referring to an incident at the dinner and awards ceremony where Bo grabbed the microphone and accused other people of cheating, Imus continued, “You came close to ruining the entire evening because you acted like a thug.”

Bo protested that all he did was “bring the dream team,” and that he has a huge heart. So huge, in fact, that he told Imus, “If I ever cracked you in the jaw, I would be very upset, and I would say, ‘I’m sorry.’”

Which is not exactly what Bishop Eddie Long, the Georgia-based minister accused of coercing boys into sexual acts, did yesterday at his New Birth Missionary Baptist Church. Instead, he asked for prayers and promised that the truth will emerge, which Warner Wolf, who has taken a few CIA interrogation courses, interpreted as signs the Bishop was lying.

But former NYPD Detective Bo Dietl, in an attempt to make poor Warner feel bad, brushed off the course, saying that nothing can compare with the experience of hundreds of hours spent talking to thousands of people who have committed crimes.

“If you got a problem, you call Warner?” Bo asked Imus, defensively. “Who do you call?”

In that case, Imus would call Bo, but he still saw no reason why Warner couldn’t be trusted to discern if someone was lying. Except that last year, when Bo was accused of doing certain things as a cop that Bo never actually did, Warner had found some of Bo’s behaviors in line with a liar’s.

“That was not good, Warner,” Imus scolded his sportscaster, who was not alone in doubting the veracity of Bo’s denials.

“My brother thinks you did it too, by the way,” Imus told Bo.

Congrats, Warner. There is no greater company to be in than that of Fred Imus.
