Imus' lineup of guests featured two presidential hopefuls, Democrat Chris Dodd and Republican John McCain. As he did several times in the days after the episode, Imus condemned his controversial remark last spring and said he had learned his lesson. "I didn't see any point in going on some sort of 'Larry King' tour to offer a bunch of lame excuses for making an essentially reprehensi- le bremark about innocent people who did not deserve to be made fun of,' he said Monday during his debut on WABC-AM. Imus apologized to the basketball players and called the ensuing furor a "life-changing experience." "I will never say anything in my lifetime that will make any of these young women at Rutgers regret or feel foolish that they accepted my apology and forgave me," he said. "And no one else will say anything else on my program that will make anyone think that I didn't deserve a second chance." His debut Monday completed a comeback that seemed improbable at the height of the uproar last spring over his calling the players "nappy-headed hos." CBS Radio fired him on April 12, pulling the plug on his "Imus in the Morning" program, which had aired on more than 70 stations and the MSNBC cable network. McCain, who called the show, answered questions about gays in the military (he said he would continue the "don't ask, don't tell" policy unless military leaders said it wasn't working), the recent surge in Iraq (he said it was doing the job), and the 2008 presidential election. Shortly after the program began, Imus introduced his new cast, including two black comedians, Kaitlin Foster and Tony Powell. Returning was Bernard McGuirk, the producer who instigated the Rutgers comment and was fired as well. "Thanks for having me on" McCain said upon signing off. "Welcome back, old friend."
