What exactly is to be gained by stonewalling? Obama is not the president yet, but in 40+ days, the stonewalling will be a moot point. Griffin could be out on his ear and replaced. And from the industry's point of view....
You stonewall (at the behest of Griffin) for the next few weeks. Then when the new person comes in you say what?! Sorry. Yes, we would still like to be considered for future rocket contracts.
Imus made some pretty raw comments that offended a lot of people. But there are too many other clowns on the radio / TV that say the same if not worse. Imus was dumped because the big boys pulled their big money out of the pot.
If this was a two-bit show getting advertising dollars from Joe Bob's Auto Shop and Ice Cream Parlor, we would not have heard about it. In the end, this was all about green.
I just went through this about 6 months ago. Here are some things to ask:
Will they sell your current house? If it does not sell within <x number of months> months, will they purchase it from you?
Will they give you a stipend for transition money before you receive your first paycheck?
Will they help with a spousal job search?
Is storage of your items in the new location covered as a part of the move?
My move was fairly smooth because the answer to all of the above were Yes, except for the last one. It caused a little pain after the storage place (that also did my move, BTW) dropped a $1600 bill for two months of storage. Needless to say, my wife (the general), made sure we did not pay that!
Final Piece of Advice: Get everything in writing!
Good luck!

OK. Let's not get this twisted...
