As an volunteer in college, I don't know every nook and cranny of The Wikimedia Foundation, though I am very knowledgable about most aspects. Show me a page documenting Jimmy's travels are always entirely funded, if you're so boldly confident. Even if they are, it still is a valuable investment in convincing all of the skeptics of the project that matter.
You are welcome to your opinions on Wikimedia's Board of Directors, but they have both been instrumental in the operation of the project, by their own merit.

We will not have ads on Wikipedia, in the far-forseeable future.
Most people don't know of Google's potential support-- which is "unstringed".

Actually we prefer casual visitors (with no intention of contributing) to access our information off other people's servers.
Having casual visitors access our information off mirrors is actually beneficial, as it lightens our server's load. Also, Answers has made significant financial contributions towards our project.

Every organization needs to promote itself, and Jimmy's speaking engagements at conferences help build the trust and understanding of Wikipedia by academics, etc. Also, I'm not entirely sure how much of his trips Wikipedia funds, as Mr. Wales certainly still puts out money towards the project.
The main issue is adding servers to our collection, and paying our two full time employees and one contractee (http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Job_openings) to keep everything running perfectly.

While this is true, many magazines are quite contrary to that statement. Plus, all writers at a newspaper are trained to understand such an editorial wall, there's no way we could guarantee everyone with an Internet connection would understand policy like this.
