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.
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.
