One less hippie on the dial:

November 5, 2007 — RADICAL lawyer and radio host Ron Kuby isn’t giving up his morning show to Don Imus quietly. “One of the odder aspects of this is that Imus makes a racist comment, and the damage is done to a civil rights lawyer,” Kuby says after he was canned at WABC-AM, abruptly ending a successful eight-year run. “He gets my job, and I’m told about the high price he paid,” says Kuby, his voice rising in disbelief. “He’s paid? What about me? “The press release ought to say, ‘Ron Kuby has paid a high price for Don Imus’ mistake.’ He gets $20 million, an eight-month vacation and my job.” The radio resurrection of Don Imus ended Kuby’s New York radio career with co-host Curtis Sliwa.
