Did Don's "Ho" Remark Screw Wife Deirdre's Book?

Posted Apr 10th 2007 12:31PM by TMZ Staff

Today was supposed to be a big day for Don Imus' wife Deirdre: Her first book about her pet cause -- environmentally safe cleaning -- comes out today. But now that her husband's racist remark is burning up the airwaves, could her promo tour for "Greening Your Cleaning," which includes high-profile appearances on "The View" and Martha Stewart's show, go up in toxic vapors?

A source tells TMZ that Don was supposed to appear on "The View" with Deirdre next Monday, but a "View" rep says that he won't be on the show with her (though he declined to say whether Don's appearance was scheduled). No word yet on whether the Martha Stewart booking still stands, and several bookstores where Deirdre is meant to appear tell us that there's no change of plans.

Despite his two-week suspension from CBS Radio which was announced this morning, Imus will still be able to broadcast for a charity fundraiser this Thursday and Friday, where his wife is supposed to appear to hawk her book.

7. Don Imus and Deirdre have done so very much to change the lives of children with life threatening illnesses at their working ranch in New Mexico. This far exceeds a simple comment made on the radio. And shame on those who criticize. The Imus' have done far more than those casting stones.

8. Don Imus is a bitter, angry old man. I've never considered him to be even close to being funny. I agree with what Howard Stern has said about him in the past.

Any woman that would willingly sleep with that jerk must be a peroxide-headed ho.

9. I'm confused. Is that woman on the book Imus' granddaughter or his wife's granddaughter or something? He's about 70 right?

10. Deirdre is a gold digger just like ANS, another 26 yr old marrying a 90 yr old. *yawn*

13. I have watched the Imus in the Morning Show on MSNBC off-and-on over the years. Mr. Imus' on air persona has always been "the angry/verbally abusive crummugin (sp?)". I have hardly ever seen him hold back on anybody that he felt did the wrong thing or as he would say "that fat lying bastard, etc." I did not see the show the day this happened, but in the past Bernard (who pushes the envelope every time he opens his mouth) probably helped this escalate into an VERY unfourtunate comment that Imus DEEPLY regrets.

My impression of him is a person of deeply felt, and for the most part, honorable intentions who shoots his mouth off and that's what he gets paid for. I agree with him that we should measure this comment against all of the good things he has done for kids with cancer and autism. The Matt Laur(sp?) interview this morning was "ruthless" . I have never seen Matt go after anyone for so long (the segment lasted 15 minutes at least) perhaps because Imus is Today Show competition.

I don't believe that Don Imus is a racist. This was not a "rant" like Mel Gibson or Michael Richards made in anger. Let's cut this man some slack - he has apologized from the heart, which is more than most would do.
