Don Imus and Pluto vs. Venus
Pluto opposite Venus: What you value — what you love — what you possess — are all challenged by powerful forces seemingly beyond your personal control.
Pluto opposite Venus is a life-altering experience that happens once in 248 years. It takes about two years to pass completely and, by the time it has passed, a large part of your life has been transformed.
Pluto opposite Venus can be traumatic — like an earthquake or volcano. It shakes up everything enough to force you to examine what you truly love and what you truly value.
Pluto transits are often painful but they always bring you close to who you truly are at a soul level.
At 6:14 am, April 4, 2007, Imus uttered the phrase that was to change his life. A chart for that time shows Pluto right at the top of the chart, a position signifying position in the world and career.
Don Imus has a 40 year record of being outrageous, opinionated, super un-politically correct, very well informed and a tough interviewer. For four hours a day he improvised like a jazz musician and sometimes hit a sour note.
CBS had just renewed his multi-million dollar contract.
His listeners knew what to expect.
None of his listeners complained about the comment — not because they agreed with him but they knew the context and they knew Imus.
The complaint came from a group called ‘Media Matters for America’ that had decided they should be the judge of what should be on the air. They monitored and taped the Imus show every day, waiting for his inevitable slip.
From the Wall Street Journal online:
At 6:14 a.m. on Wednesday, April 4, relatively few people were tuned into the “Imus in the Morning Show” when Don Imus referred to the Rutgers women’s basketball team as “nappy-headed ho’s.”
Ryan Chiachiere was. A 26-year-old researcher in Washington, D.C., for liberal watchdog organization Media Matters for America, he was assigned to monitor Mr. Imus’s program.Mr. Chiachiere clipped the video, alerted his bosses and started working on a blog post
for the organization’s Web site.
From Al Sharpton:
It is our feeling that this is only the beginning. We must have a broad discussion on what is permitted and not permitted in terms of the airwaves.
From Tom Delay:
If Don Imus falls to the pleas of political correctness, we’re taking Rosie O’Donnell down with him.
