Except I don't think anyone in Imus's predominantly geriatric audience knows how to use that new-fangled "internet"

I am looking forward to watching the Internet debut of "Nappy Hour With Don Imus."

100% false.

I've never listened to Imus, never spoken to Imus, and have no interest in being in business with the man.

Really dude... come on.

Jason Calacanis emails in... 100% false

Never listened to imus in my life, let alone talked to or done business with him.

Never would.

The term "valleywag" is now official jargon for someone who makes up lies and passes them off as no-source rumors.

It's no secret that Denton puts the "cheap" in cheap thrills, but how bored does he have to get to pull a crap stunt post like this? It's lazy, sloppy, and embarrassing. I'd say he's better than it but clearly he's not. The lack of credibility here is...incredible.*

(Hey JC, can I get a free ticket to that TechCrunch20 conference?? C'mon!!)

*Just copying and pasting from my earlier comments at this point.

Someone just forwarded me a leaked copy of Calacanis's offer to Don Imus. I reproduce it here in its entirety:
------

Don,

I see it is true you've left CBS.

You're a great talent, everyone knows that, and you're gonna get a ton of offers over the next couple of days. I'd like to give you some unsolicited advice and make you an offer as well.

You're on the top of the talent pool on the radio and you should get compensated for what you've done. You don't have a huge window of opportunity -- you need to act now and you should get paid *now*. This is what I told Peter when I recruited him from Gizmodo, Isaiah Washington when I tried to (and failed) recruit him from Grey's Anatomy, and this is the same advice I told myself months ago before I left Netscape (my discussion with myself helped me make the jump).

When you're the talent you build brand equity, you cash in on that brand and then you take it to the next level. You are at that very moment right now... you need to make the jump to the next level.

So, my offer to you is do your little racist diatribe thing for this new venture we're backing here at Sequoia and we'll pay you whatever you need to get paid AND you can own all of the rights to your slurs forever (just give us like a six month exclusive window). We will set you up with our kick-ass studios, get you an office, and I've got a full-time video editor at your disposal (i.e. they can go with you anywhere). Also, we'll set up a travel budget so you can go insult whomever you want right to their face.

You're a star baby... it's time to be treated like one. Ask the other stars who work with me how I treat my talent and I think they'll all tell you that I fight and fight for my people like a rabid dog. (sort of like the Ari/E combo on Entourage, if you will).

You know where I'm at... hit me if you're interested.

Now that's what I call REAL Ultimate Power! (TM)

best regards,

Jason

I might not really care for the way JC comes off sometimes, he does have some good insight, but its pretty clear he wouldnt sink that low.

Now I could see a Scoble/Imus hookup....

@krucoff: Sure, because I always like my entertainment websites to be full of dry, humorless news. Lazy, sloppy, enbarassingly wrong? Perfect! Label it "quite probably a lie, but hey" and pipe it over.

Maybe Imus can work at Marketwatch with Peter Brimelow.
