No Good Deed Goes Unpunished Department

After raising better than sixty-three (that's 63!) million dollars for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, octogenarian comedian Jerry Lewis is under attack.

Apparently, after eighteen hours of raising money for a good (yes, good) cause, Jerry had a moment and used the "f" word. I'm shocked! Shocked! Oh, it wasn't that "f" word that you think it is, but if you listen to the breathlessness, you'd never know. Here's CNN's link as proof: http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/09/04/jerrylewis.telethon/

But wait a minute... if you watch the video from CNN, at about the 1:20 mark, they screw up the quote feed. They actually drop a page from what Reggie Aqui is reading. Ya know something? I forgive CNN and I forgive Jerry Lewis. (As if they need it, but....) Jerry's apologized. CNN? I'm waiting. But in the grand scheme of things? It's not about GLAD, it's about the kids.

Give the guy a break. Huh? Tempest meet teapot.

And ya know, I bet that MDA money even goes to kids who are gay.
