Imus the day after "The Today Show" did that story on Kenneth Lay's wife crying about broke they were. This was after having been a viewer since the days of Dave Garraway.

Don Imus and his wife support a lot of charities to do with children. Apparently Mrs. Imus is very involved with investigations into autism and hyperactivity in children. Among other issues, she has campaigned against the use of so much processed foods and additives being used in school cafeterias and also allowing soft drink companies and snack food companies to have vending machines in many schools. There is some merit to this.

I like the show but sometimes he goes off on tangents that just won't quit. A month or so ago it was against the Wall Street Journal. The WSJ printed an article about a short-lived investigation by the The NY Attorney-General's office into the finances of the Imus Ranch Charity. For days Imus couldn't shut up about this. He even had Bo Deitle on for 1 hour reading a letter he wrote the editor of the WSJ about it.

Strangely enough, a lot of Republican office holders are on there. John McCain is on at least 1 time every week or so. He and Imus are good friends, but Rick Santorum?

Imus in my opinion is a lot more erudite and sophisticated than he comes across. I think I would like to meet him. During the time that Pope John Paul was dying and the election of the new pope, the show had on a number of Catholic guests and Imus appeared to be very interested.
