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.
Of all things, the most pressing issue on veteran political reporter Jeff Greenfield’s mind today was whether the country would, at some point, feel any empathy toward basketball player LeBron James, the Miami Heat’s vaunted superstar whose team lost the NBA Championship last night to the Dallas Mavericks.
Irshad Manji, the author of "Allah, Liberty and Love," came highly recommended for this program by Fox News Anchor Jenna Lee. Feeling the pressure to live up to her “good friend” Jenna’s praise, Manji began her first ever appearance with Imus by explaining The Trouble with Islam Today, the title of her previous book.
Irshad Manji Informed that Imus was having some difficulty breathing this morning, Rep. Peter King graciously offered his prayers for a speedy recovery. Confused, Imus wondered why the Congressman, who normally supplies only "icky" remarks, would depart from tradition. “That’s only when you talk about your prostate cancer,” King clarified.
Larry King (the real one!) was thrilled to be back with Imus today to talk about his new book Truth Be Told; his ongoing comedy tour; and, unfortunately, his prostate cancer. "I write all about it in the book," he promised. Goody.
Larry King Blonde on Blonde was fractured this morning, with Lis Wiehl at the Fox studio in New York and Deirdre Imus at The Imus Ranch in New Mexico. No matter how many miles separated them, the two ladies agreed on one thing: Rep. Anthony Weiner is a pig.
