This guy always gave me the creeps...
He did me too, but I have to agree with Wildcat. If the publications ran lies on the creep, the creep should have been entitled to damages. The creep shouldn't have to pay the liars.
I worked for a Car Stereo place to the stars way back in the day we did his MB 6.9 he had a stuffed animal pig riding shotgun and his vanity plate was YRUFAT he was beyond creepy
But in the days following Hurricane Katrina, Richard Simmons was on Larry King's show and a lot of other outlets discussing VERY seriously the various crises and what needed to be done. He wasn't asking for government handouts, but was articulating about the most immediate needs so far as infrastructure and emergency housing was concerned along with logistics of medicine and food.
Say what you will of his eccentricities, but Richard Simmons showed more REAL leadership and initiative in that dark hour than did Mayor Nagin and the entire New Orleans government. It was surreal.
Always found him likeable but too squirrelly...
At least as far as I know he never imposed his political views on anyone. Might be too absorbed in pushing his business image [at least I hope it’s just an image and not an obsession] to even have political views.
Me too. And with all the exercise he was supposedly doing he sure was a flabby little freak.
