Why did Leo Laporte resist the ALS “Ice Bucket Challenge” for so long? It’s only $100 for cryin’ out loud. For a week, the portly Laporte publicly and childishly resisted the calls to participate in the fundraising effort that was quickly sweeping the country.

Could it be because he’s drowning in debt? After all, Leo is all wet when it comes to telling the truth about his sinking network. So why wouldn’t we believe that the money troubles aren’t worse than he’s let on?
