Posted by roc on Aug 26 2008 | Shock Jocks

My friend Aaron Barnhart of the Kansas City Star is one of the best television observers and critics in the business. A recent post on his “TV Barn” site made note of an MSNBC appearance by Gwen Ifill. As Barnhart remarked, seeing the ex-New York Times reporter once derided as “a cleaning lady” by the self-styled I-Man on his former cable home “was a reminder that wounds can heal … and that Don Imus really is a jackass.”
