I keep reading all the beautiful condolences that people are writing about how much a part of their lives were effected by listening to him over the years.

Children’s Health Defense joins parents of vaccine-injured children and advocates for health freedom in remembering the life of Don Imus, a media maverick in taking on uncomfortable topics that most in the mainstream press avoid or shut down altogether. His commitment to airing all sides of controversial issues became apparent to the autism community in 2005 and 2006 as the Combating Autism Act (CAA) was being discussed in Congress. The Act, which was ultimately signed into law by George W. Bush in December of 2006, created unprecedented friction among parents of vaccine-injured children and members of Congress; parents insisted that part of the bill’s billion-dollar funding be directed towards environmental causes of autism including vaccines, while most U.S. Senators and Representatives tried to sweep any such connections under the rug.
Don Imus, Divisive Radio Shock Jock Pioneer, Dead at 79 - Imus in the Morning host earned legions of fans with boundary-pushing humor, though multiple accusations of racism and sexism followed him throughout his career By Kory Grow RollingStone
Don Imus Leaves a Trail of Way More Than Dust
By Michael Riedel - The one and only time I had a twinge of nerves before appearing on television was when I made my debut in 2011 on “Imus in the Morning” on the Fox Business Channel. I’d been listening to Don Imus, who died Friday at 79, since the 1990s as an antidote the serious (bordering on the pompous) hosts on National Public Radio. I always thought it would be fun to join Imus and his gang — news anchor Charles McCord, producer Bernard McGuirk, comedian Rob Bartlett — in the studio, flinging insults back and forth at one another. And now I had my chance. I was invited on to discuss to discuss “Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark,” the catastrophic Broadway musical that injured cast members daily.
Laura Ingraham was fired up today as she joined Imus in studio, going off on everything from Tom Friedman to Desiree Rogers to, oddly, the White House vegetable garden. Ingraham, one of the most popular radio hosts in the country, was sick of Tiger Woods and instead talked about the video of Tom Friedman at yesterday's jobs summit acting like a smitten teenager while chatting with President Obama.
Laura Ingraham Debra Dickerson always has a lot of interesting stuff to say, and today was no exception, as she and Imus discussed the movie Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. Much to her surprise, Dickerson had not felt the way she thought she would about the controversial film.
Fresh of a visit to Imus's hometown of Kingman, Arizona, Senator John McCain reported that some of the local law enforcement people still remember the I-Man. "You kept them busier than most any of the other citizens," McCain said.
One thing to be thankful for today is that Neil Cavuto, and not Glenn Beck, was reporting live from a rooftop. Another is that Cavuto had not tuned in to Imus in the Morning until just now. Cavuto was in Washington, DC to report on today's jobs summit at the White House, where President Obama will meet with 130 CEOs, labor leaders, economists, and academics in advance a not-so-good jobs report being released tomorrow.
Neil Cavuto Chris Wallace didn't mind waiting almost ten minutes to speak to the I-Man today. "It was almost worth it, because there was a moment when you were talking to Charles and Bernard and you said, 'I am not a jerk,'" said Wallace, host of Fox News Sunday. "Which ranks right up there with Richard Nixon saying, 'I am not a crook.'"
