"SEE RIDDICK BOWE STICK HIS..."

Howie Carr (who is no liberal -- warning: audio) reminds us in this Boston Herald column of the reason his wife sued Imus back in 1998:

...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....
