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 have a bit of a different take on all this. I have listened to Imus for years and continue to do so. I cannot stand him, but I listen because he's got the best morning show on the air in terms of guests (often) and what he (for the most part) discusses.

The ranch represents, for Imus, redemption. He is a self-obsessed, selfish individual who used to worship at the altar of cocaine, alcohol, etc., but now worships at the altar of his tall, blonde, good looking (but not real bright) wife, Dierdre. Together, they will do good deeds together so all their friends will acknowledge how important and wonderful they are.

These "good deeds" give liberals (in their own minds) cover for all the sh*t they do. Imus has merely taken to a new level.

And imagine: his OUTRAGE at the WSJ for looking into this after he has not STOPPED talking about this for a minute in the last 5 years. He is insufferable.
