I think attacking Imus's ranch for kids is really crappy.
I'm not a fan of his, but it's obvious he's devoted to helping and providing for those kids.
I agree. He's got a $30 million home in CT plus a penthouse in Manhatten. He's not scaming anyone. He's simple a man that likes to control his surroundings. He's done nothing improper.
I agree. I also recall they have medical facilities on hand, and if a child needed it, an agreement with a helicopter company to transport to any one of 3 or 4 hospitals.
Liz, it costes $27,000 a week per kid. Why not just stroke each kid a check for that amount. Don't you think that it would be better to send that money to The Jimmy Fund or Genisis Fund where they are actually doing teh research to help these kids? Only about 100 kids go there in a year and the rest of the time its Imus's vacation house. Its a scam.
Check out the article in Arcitectural Digest and look at his master bedroom. It will make you puke. It makes the Pres. suite at the 4 Seasons look like a pile of crap!
I turned off Imus mostly during the election..He used to be the best background noise early in the morning..meaning he is occasionally funny and doesn't tax my brain before my coffee kicks in..
I must defend him on the ranch..No matter how much I may disagree with him on politics ..I know he cares about the kids with cancer and his wealth is enough to not need this ranch as a cover.
I'm afraid I disagree. He talks too much about it.
Like Father Ritter and Covenant House? Sounds like Imus may have been using the kids as an image/career enhancer and taxpayer subsidized "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" perk provider.
