He was ranting about this, bitching he was the subject of a media hatchet job.

Sucks to be the subject of a media attack huh Imus?

[finnman69]

The idea of the charity is extremely noble and I will not knock that at all. The question is if Imus is cheating on his taxes or not.

The Imus Ranch is a 3,000-acre authentic working cattle ranch nestled in the rolling hills of New Mexico below a majestic mesa near the town of Ribera, fifty miles northeast of Santa Fe. The ranch provides kids with cancer or serious blood disorders, and children who have lost brothers and sisters to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, the experience of the great American cowboy.

[Holicheese]

This guy is such a fraud. All he has done for years is hauk his nacho chips and salsa and talk about NASCAR with his retard brother.
I think its great that he gets kids with cancer working for free on his "ranch" and then feeds them tofu.
Always knew this was a shady deal.
Throw the book at this bum!

[OldFriend]

Perhaps the logical response would have been to welcome a look at the books.

Perhaps IPUS protests too much.

I listened to this moron whine about the WSJ article for about an hour this morning. After about the 35th mention of how the author had screwed Imus etc. etc. etc. I shut it off and sent an email to WFAN (the radio station he works for) complaining about the fool.

Apparently Imus believes in "accountability" for everybody else but IMUS.

Perfect example of the entitlement mentality. He's too good to have to be responsible for what he does apparently.

[The G Man]

Certainly doesn't come as a surprise. I, like I suspect many, have always thought this whole thing was a big scam to build a nice vacation / retirement spot for "The I Man"

[LanPB01]

I don't question Imus's charity, because I know nothing about it. I question his talent, and how anyone can stand to listen to his show.

[Semper Paratus]

The I-Man may be waiting a long time if he thinks his MSM buddies are going to ride to his rescue.

This week he threw his friend Pat O'Brien under a bus when his 'sex talk tapes' came out.

I would think he should be fine with any investigation, unless of course he's reporting something incorrectly. Red flags like that would cause any tax exempt organization to be looked into. He thinks he's being unfairly targeted no doubt.

[Hildy]

I never watch his show, but happened onto today while he was raning. He looked pretty scared, to me.

[paleocon patriarch]

Regardless of what you think of the Imus ranch, it operates within the law.

My instincts tell me that Imus' recent exposure of the Thimerosol (mercury) in vaccines relationship to autism has hit a little close to home with the big pharmaceuticals. They have put their yorkie Frank on Imus to silence him by making him defend his charity.
