    I agree but...

    But there is a double standard at work. Why is there no outrage at Beck, Coulter, Limbaugh and Boortz to match that at Imus?

    Because, it seems, it's only par for the course for the right wingers. It's simply expected. And because it's expected, for some reason, it's tolerated.

    But wasn't it expected of Imus?
