So, you're saying the Imus ranch doesn't host kids with cancer?
No good deed goes unpunished. Not much of an Imus fan but go back far enough in his career to remember his "shock jock" years. He turned his life around and now is giving back in a meaningful way ... give the guy a break.
Liberal Scam Ping
1) The Imus family uses a chartered jet to travel to their ranch -- this was disclosed by a lawsuit by one of their nannys.
Does the charity pay for the chartered jet to the Ranch for Children?
2) It is claimed that Imus purchased the property that the ranch is on with his own money for $1.5 million.

However, the ranch property was leased by the state of New Mexico to Imus. Imus was sued by the state for failure to get approval before destroying 19th century buildings on government land.

Appears to be another Liberal facade, masking reality.
Trump has built up a "rep" for handling money. If you haven't noticed, his gambling properties in Atlantic City have gone bankrupt twice. Donald started out with a $20 million bankroll by his dad. He is an expert in self promotion...the latest evidence is The Apprentice show.
If not this what? Whittaker Chambers? Amelia Earhart? Autism? GI Insurance? McCain? Mercury? Thimerasol? His illnesses?
He has his button with the 'scream' for callers he doesn't like.
I wish I had a button for "STFU" for Imus sometimes!!
Imus is a con artist. His ranch was featured in Architectural Digest. He has built a luxurious vacation/retirement home, which is partially funded by public donations and protected as a tax-exempt organization. You can bet that he and his family will be spending more and more time at the ranch as Wyatt gets older. Mr. Frank is the messenger.
Imus is a shame - its about time that he goes down with JJ, Sharpton and the rest of the liberal trash.
No. He pays for that himself.
Imus and his wife voted for Kerry last election. Deidre voted for Kerry because Teresa is a contributor and/or board member for a number of charities, which Deidre is associated with.
LOL!! So what? He's flying kids in from all over the world, he's there when they're there, he's doing something nobody else is doing.
Frank's a Northeastern jerk who likely doesn't do a damned thing for terminally ill kids.
Do you?
What are you doing for terminally ill kids?
For a one week experience.
Much of the left despises DI because of the politically incorrect humor dispensed on his show. I don't know this particular reporter, but I do know that WSJ reporters lean dramatically left, in stark contrast to the paper's editorial page.
1) "Does the charity pay for the chartered jet to the Ranch for Children?
No. He pays for that himself."
How do you know? Do you have access to his personal expenses and charitible tax documents? Please provide your source of this knowledge.
2) The children attending the ranch are not terminally ill. The children are typically the brother or sister of a child who died from SIDS. The children must pass physical requirements to attend the ranch for 7 days (not 9 days).
"How long will I be at the ranch?
Seven complete days. You leave on the morning of the eighth day."
"What are the physical limitations?
You must be physically fit enough to work and ride a horse. The work can be demanding and you should consider that when making your decision whether to come to the ranch."
See the official requirements yourself here: http://msnbc.msn.com/id/3359675/
Donating to Riley Children's hospital in Indy....what are you doing?
$26,000 for 1 week, wow I'm impressed /sarcasm
Actually, Imus as said recently that he can't breathe at the ranch - I guess the elevation is high. That would really impact on how much time he spends there.
Pray for W and Terri
