Imus producer has his say
Former "Imus in the Morning" producer Bernard McGuirk is in Boston today to rap with WTKK jock Jay Severin. McGuirk, who was dumped along with Don Imus for ridiculing the Rutgers women's basketball team, says he's still confused about the firing. "The media treated Al Sharpton like he was Nelson Mandela," said Bernie, who's being repped by local entertainment lawyer George Tobia. "I'm here because free speech is alive and well despite the actions of some seemingly spineless executives who acquiesced to a sanctimonious skunk." Imus, meanwhile, could be back on the radio as soon as September. His buddy, Mike Barnicle, who's been filling in for the I-Man locally, told us the dean of shock jocks is mulling offers to return to the airwaves in the fall.
