May 12, 2000 | Dalrymple, who's made more appearances on cable news than Miami cousin Marisleysis
González has at the local emergency room, blanched at a quote from Lazaro
González in Wednesday's Miami Herald, in which the Miami family patriarch said Dalrymple made the move without the family's approval. "I didn't need anybody when Elián was out on the ocean, any lawyers or anybody to tell me what I should or shouldn't do," Dalrymple told Fox News. "I'm doing this out of the goodness of my heart and what's right for -- for Elián. And now I am not coming against Lazaro or the family." Then the questions got tougher. Reporter Jack Thompson asked if the man who has turned down few requests for an interview -- especially if it involves wearing new clothes for TV -- wasn't basking in the glow of his newfound celebrity. "Me and my cousin rescued that little boy on Thanksgiving Day. There is no newfound fame. I'm not famous, or if somebody did make me famous, it's the media," Dalrymple retorted. "I never made myself famous. I'm just a man with a heart towards God, and I did the very best I could for this boy to live in liberty here in America."
