He may be an idiot and his wife a clueless fool obsessed with demonizing guns, but they also have the right to fire a nanny who doesn't demonstrate the values they espouse. It is their house, and she works for them and follows their directions.

Good point. But she also claims that she was defamed when Imus later announced on his program that he had been forced to "disarm" his nanny, whom he labeled as dangerous and a "terrorist."

I wish I had the Dosh for a four HUNDRED acre ranch, never mind four THOUSAND.

They couldn't have found a better time to do it than 1am?
Sounds like his wife had something against this woman. Maybe she was better looking that his wife, perhaps?

It's about time the IRS took a look at this guy's scam. It appeared most of the cost of the ranch was taken care of by big business in return for him not bad-mouthing them. He takes a few kids down there during the summer and the rest of the year he marvels at his ranch. He's a phoney.

"Sounds like the wife went off and he's backing her play."That may be a pretty good guess. Waking someone up at 1 in the morning???

Well, of course, you're right - but I think the suit will largely hinge on their actions afterwards. IF they gave this woman no specific instructions not to bring certain items, fired her with no warning, and then proceed to publicly paint her as a terrorist and unfit to be around children, there's probably something actionable in there somewhere.

If I remember correctly, he raised the money for the ranch.

She was at the ranch for approx. ten days around Thanksgiving. I would expect that no children would be at staying at the ranch around the occurence of a holiday that is generally spent with family.

I think what he is doing is legitimate. He may not be doing as much as what some people would think he should do.
To: new cruelty
The children come during school vacations and summer vacations.
Most of Imus' businesses are headquartered there.

Stuff likes this drives me crazy. They have a right to fire whoever they hire to watch their son. I read part of the complaint and it starts off with gratuitous shots at Imus.

Ha ha ha. Yeah. I once employed a nanny from France. Her sister was a runway model. That didn't last long.

Maybe the wife didn't like Imus "searching" the help at 1AM?

Any real cowboy would kick his sorry ass. Wimp. Damn right. I have heard him complain about not having enough kids around to do the chores around the 'ranch'. He's a beady-eyed, pelican-necked, weasel.
To: babaloo
Absolutely they can terminate her at any time for any reason. It's called "employment at will" and unless she had a contract, that's what it is.
However, Imus is too stooopid to STFU. He may pay tuition to find out just how stooopid he is, especially if his charity turns out to be a scam.

I recall him remarking on his show once that he fired 21 different nannys in a 12 or 18 month period-even the guys who work with him remarked that he must be the employer from hell.
