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 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.
Looking presidential in the Russell Senate Building Rotunda as he waited patiently for Imus, Senator John Thune was a breath of fresh air this morning.
John Thune More than just a baseball player and his wife, Curt and Shonda Schilling founded the Shade Foundation for melanoma research and awareness; they’re spokespeople for the ALS Association; and are the proud parents of four children, one of whom, Grant, has Asperger Syndrome. His journey and theirs is the basis for their new book, The Best Kind of Different.
Chris Wallace was in a great mood this morning because his guest lineup for Fox News Sunday this week was all set: a debate between the two candidates for U.S. Senate in Florida, Marco Rubio and Gov. Charlie Crist, who he said, "Just plain don’t like each other."
Chris Wallace Imus was hoping his Uggs-adorned feet could slide under the radar this morning (kinda like how nobody knows that Sean Hannity is usually pants-less on his nightly Fox News show), but no such luck. So, who better to fault for his embarrassment than his wife Deirdre, who happened to be a guest on the show today?
Deirdre Imus It was a little too early for Charles Gasparino to be awake at 6:30AM, since, you know, he just came in from Elaine’s about an hour ago. "Ten million people are out of work," Imus said. "And you’re bitching about having to get up and come on television?"
