IMUS = IDIOT
Don who?
As big an A hole as Imus is, I'm surprised he doesn't get his butt kicked on a regular basis.
And taking shots at the guy's wife shows absolutely no class whatsoever.
Imus: Just two letters off from Anus.
I can NOT believe the IRS hasn't investigated that ranch. Boggles the mind.
The WSJ derives almost no revenues from the brain dead Imus demographic. Thus the WSJ is Imus proof.
I'm not a fan of Imus, but I don't hate him.
Tell me, is your mind also boggled by the fact of the lack of IRS investigation into The Rainbow Coalition and the Pimp Daddy?
Or do you have a selective "boggling" filter?

The only problem with the Ranch is that it costs about 120K per kid, as a tax write off, and Imus gets to use the place as a vacation pad in the off season, when the kids are not around, without paying any rent. It is celebrity weird at its best, expensive and inefficient, and subsidized with tax write offs.
My only knowledge of Imus comes from seeing a few clips and interviews of him, and reading second-hand accounts like this one, but IMHO, he appears to be a major-league a-hole.
Well put.
WHIzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......
That would be the sound of what you said flying over my head.
Huh?

I've known more than one (former) IRS employee. They are obligated as a condition of employment to report any potential tax fraud they become aware of. Of course, maybe articles published in national circulation newspapers don't qualify as "aware."
That's one reason I never cut cash/no tax deals with contractors etc.
Yes I'm paranoid.
Daley mob, chicago pol machine JJ jesse jackson, Springfield state capital (who BTW gave JJ a clean bill of health tax wise) , land of the big stink (wild onions) illini tribe name for chicago.
Reporters fear Imus, which is why all the reporters who appear on his show contributed to the ranch. It's like paying protection so he won't trash them on the air.
Here's a little story about Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang ranch, where sick kids stay much as they do at Imus's ranch. A few years ago, Paul was eating lunch with some of the kids, and on the table were several food products he sells...the proceeds of which go toward this charity/ranch. So the lemonade carton's on the table, with Newman's picture on it. And one of the kids eyed the carton, then Newman, and asked him if he was 'lost'. (Pictures of lost kids on milk cartons).
I don't listen to Imus anymore because his whining has become unbearable. The synchophants in the studio are embarrassing to watch as they try to prop up this sinking ship.
If the WSJ or the IRS want to find out about what's going on at the BS "ranch", they should be turning a jaundiced eye on Deidre, who strikes me as a Hillary type. IMHO, that woman is the center of the real rot, and her old fool of a husband is simply using his show to cover for her. Deidre Imus is scary and creepy.
He's got a good deal going. He intimidated big business to help contribute to the construction of the ranch in return for plugs on his show. He got contributions of cattle. He runs his radio-thon every year for more contributions. In return he takes a number of terminally ill children for a few weeks in the summer and makes them work. He and his family have the luxurious ranch for the rest of the year. Tax breaks!! He's phoney who caters to the left. The old wind-bag should give it up.
