Does anyone remember Howie Carr's column from April 11 of this year?

Hey, Don Imus, when are you going to apologize to my wife for the terrible things you said about her?

Listen, you no-talent geriatric cokehead, I don’t care if you do look like a corpse in a cowboy hat. Back in 1998, you libeled my wife when you said you would live long enough to “see Riddick Bowe stick his” - well, I’ll leave it at that, although you didn’t, and at the end of your demented screed, you added, “again.”

That was the word that would have made it a slam-dunk in court - “again.” The case was settled, though, and under the terms of the settlement, I’m not allowed to reveal what happened. But let me just say I always shake her lawyer’s hand very heartily whenever I run into him. Alan Dershowitz is aces in my book.

What led to that misogynistic outburst by Imus was that a local columnist [Mike Barnicle] had told him that I had said he would die before his kid got out of high school. The fact that the guy who told this to the I-Man had just been forced to quit his paper for writing “fables” apparently didn’t register. I never said anything like that, but the I-Man didn’t bother to check before he went off on my wife.

And now she owns a condo in Florida. Is this a great country or what?

Yes, Howie, this is a great country!
