Here are some comments by Don Imus after his 6/16/00 program to promote Mr. Nader (editor's note:  Mr. Imus and other Republicans see the Nader candidacy as a pro-Bush/anti-Gore effort...which will siphon off votes from Mr. Gore in November.  These Republicans may be unscrupulous...but they are most capable...and experienced...when it comes to dirty politics.):

"You can come on any time!  Good luck in your campaign, Mr. Nader...and thank you for appearing on this program!"

"Ralph Nader...here on the Imus in the Morning program.  He's a consumer advocate...a lawyer...and an author...and he's running for the presidency on the Green Party...and there's nothing he says that doesn't make sense...there's nothing he says that doesn't make sense."

"By the way, Bernie...we should have Nader on again...we should have Nader on a lot...we should have him on every once in a while.  I mean...I really liked Nader!  Didn't you?"

Bernie:  "Yes I did!"

Imus:  "I was very...very...impressed with Ralph Nader.  Some people think he's a consumer nut. . .but he's not!"

Fred:  "I like Nader.  I'm going to vote for Nader.  His message resonated with me this morning (editor's note:  This is laughable.  Ralph Nader has been around for over forty years...and if in this country there is ONLY ONE pair of brothers...who have NEVER before thought kindly of Ralph Nader...it is the Imuses.)."

Imus:  "Certainly not Al Gore...who's as close to a criminal as you can be without having a number under his photograph."

"You know what...Bernie?"

Bernie:  "What's that...chief?"

Imus:  "I want you to call back Nader's campaign people...and tell him he can come on any time he feels like it...whenever he wants to make an appearance.  Just give him the hotline number and tell him to call us."

Bernie:  "Ten...four."

Imus:  "Just blow other people off to put him on (editor's note: a repeat of the deal Imus gave Bradley)."
