: gun-toating imus just threatened to shoot "coworker" jay severin. its stuff like this that makes it hard to defend the guy.
: (NECN: Boston, Mass.) - Radio talk show host Don Imus was in Boston today to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. His nationally-syndicated morning show was aired live from The Wilbur Theater, but it's what happened off the air that's making headlines.
: WTKK radio host Jay Severin tells an NECN source that Imus threatened to shoot him if he didn't leave the stage.
: An Imus spokesman told The Boston Herald that Imus did say he would shoot Severin, but claims it was said in jest.
: The two have been at odds lately, ever since Severin decided to stop appearing as a regular guest on Imus.
: After Severin left the stage this morning, Imus lashed out at him on the air.
: This information is from Matthew Hiltzik, Imus' spokesperson:
: "Don was obviously joking. It was clearly a figure of speech. This speaks volumes about Mr. Severin's desperation for attention; that he would pretend to have taken this seriously. Unless, of course, he was afraid he would be shot him with a pencil."
so, and, yeah?
