My statement just dealt with Imus and motive; I certainly did not say that he was harming these unfortunate kids. Usually, charitable acts are done quietly; this guy never lets his listeners forget FOR ONE MINUTE how wonderful he is for giving his time and money for these kids. That's why I said what I did--it's always all about HIM.

A significant reason why the ranch has been able to raise as much money as it has is because of Imus' PR efforts. He's advertising for it, so naturally you're going to hear about it. Nothing wrong with that.

"Usually, charitable acts are done quietly;"

If that's true, then why do major charitable foundations set up privately, seem to need to include the family name in the foundation? Why does every college campus, every major hospital have a wing named after the charitable donor? Why aren't they insistent on being more "quiet" about it and give it a more generic name?
