KCRW & Ruth Seymour Go All Jerry Lewis

KCRW's treasure, Warren Olney, could not make it for the final day of the fundraising drive. He was felled by a bicycle accident, and while they assured us that he was cognitively intact, they implored us to make our contributions "in honor of Warren."

Both KCRW and Warren Olney deserve our support, but this is mawkish, tasteless and belongs on Jerry's telethon. Will our contributions help Warren get well, and if we don't make a pledge, will he, like Tinkerbell, just tragically fade away? We are accustomed to programs being held hostage during pledge drives (10 more pledges and you can listen to your show...) but the health and healing of a host?
