Synopsis
Meet Fred Imus, a latter-day Will Rogers with a touch of Yogi Berra, the younger brother and alter ego of Don "the I-Man" Imus, the nationally syndicated and original shock jock of the airwaves. The Fred Book collects Fred's incomparable philosophy of life, irresistible politically incorrect ideology on everything from politics ("Here is the entire Whitewater investigation as far as I can gather: which goober knew about what loan and when?") to running a million-dollar catalog business ("Have a brother on radio"); from advice about how to keep women ("Keep yourself clean") to the Catholic Church ("They really do need more Jews calling the shots on the business side").
For the "Imus in the Morning" radio program's legion of fans and anyone up for a little unvarnished Southwestern wisdom. The Fred Book: Uncut. Uncensored. Unplugged. 100% Fred. Made in the U.S.A.

From the Publisher
Collected here for all the ages is the wit and wisdom of Fred Imus, brother of Don, king of Frontier Salsa and 1957 Chevys, who is never shy with his outrageous opinions on his brother's wildly popular Imus in the Morning radio program, where he regularly appears. Whether waxing nostalgic about country music, ranting about American politics, hedging his Monday night football bets, needling Don or hawking his Western goods sold though his million dollar catalogue company (which started as a lark selling a few t-shirts--made in the good old USA, of course), Fred is always outrageous, often outlandish, perverse, and an hilarious alter ego to his big brother Don, the I-Man.
Written with Mike Lupica, this is sure to be a gut-splitting look at the West, Bubba Clinton, every known ethnic group in America, manhood in the nineties, how to sell salsa to yuppies and big-breasted women. Think: Garrison Keillor from Hell. Think: Lewis Grizzard with a wild hair. Think: Rush Limbaugh with grizzle and guts. For the politically incorrect and all their friends, a stocking stuffer for the legions of loyal Imus fans everywhere.
About the Author
Fred Imus, a.k.a. "two-legged Fred," is a staple on his brother Don's "Imus in the Morning" talk-radio show, syndicated in over 100 markets around the nation and simulcast on MSNBC. Fred lives in Santa Fe, where he runs his highly lucrative catalog company, The Autobody Express. But before that, he mostly restored '57 Chevys when he had the cash, ragged on his ex-wife, and not much else.
Mike Lupica writes four syndicated columns a week for the New York Daily News. He is also a contributing writer for ESPN Magazine and a regular on "Good Morning America" and ESPN's Sunday morning "Sports Reports" show. He is the author of a number of books, the latest being Mad as Hell.
