Your support matters…Rush & Molloy:
We can now confirm to Kenefick that his secret benefactor is none other than the dreaded, detestable, loathsome Michael Moore.
Moore didn’t contact us. We heard it on our own. Yesterday, his reps said they couldn’t reach the director, who is in France getting ready for tomorrow’s screening at Cannes of his new movie, “Sicko.”
One friend of Moore’s did say, “We sure are happy Jim’s wife received the care she needed.”
Kenefick admitted the $12,000 “was like manna from heaven at that time. … My business was almost dead, my wife was very, very ill, and I was racking up a few little health problems of my own. That money made it possible for us to begin to turn our lives around.”
