Don Imus would not call himself an Independent. He has told everyone until now that he is a "registered" Republican. Most people in the U.S. because of voting laws,socio-economic status, and a host of other reasons either declare themselves to be Republicans or Democrats. Don Imus isn't an exception.
Anyone who has watched Imus over the years like I have, knows darn well that Imus is as independent as hell. He has attacked and scorned Republican and Democratic congressmen who have failed to listen to the people on a range of topics such as veterans healthcare,autism, Iraq and social issues that impact the poor and the middle class. Imus despite his notoriety is one of the most independent voices in the media. Despite the recent flap with the Rutgers women basketball players, Don Imus has prevailed.
On December 3rd, Don Imus will return to radio on 77 WABC the biggest talk radio station in the United States. But wait! There's more! RFD TV, a station that is on the lineup with both Dish and Direct Tv, will carry Imus in a simulcast with ABC. RFD TV is a relatively small outlet catering to farmers and ranchers, but expect its ranking to boost significantly once it starts carrying Imus.
Be watching for vendetta from Imus against Hillary Clinton, who criticized him unmercifully when he was down. Trust me if Hillary could stop Imus's comeback on WABC and on RFD TV she would. Thousands of rural Iowans watch RFD TV. The timing couldn't be worse for Hillary.
See Nashville Tennessean story about Imus's debut on RFD TV.
