Shattuck: CNN Don Lemon’s live antics leave a sour taste
The Boston Herald ^ | 01-02-17 | Tom Shattuck

If, inexplicably, you spent New Year’s Eve watching CNN, you were treated to a broadcast for the ages, care of Don Lemon.

The “CNN Tonight” host, reporting in from a bar in New Orleans, began hitting the sauce early and was thoroughly trashed by 9 p.m.

“People are saying that I’m lit. Yeah, I’m lit. Who cares?” howled Lemon, between tequila shooters.

Co-host Brooke Baldwin implored the staff to stop feeding him shots and at one point snipped at him, “The tequila is like, emitting from your pores.”

Thus the formidable gang at the Cuervo News Network tied one on Saturday night with booze in the hand and Trump on the brain.

And what are the president-elect’s thoughts on Don Lemon?

A tweet from last August was prescient.

“Don Lemon is a lightweight — dumb as a rock.”

True and true.

And the Fourth Estate will never change.

Expect 2017’s media to be exactly like 2016’s media, except maybe with new earrings.

Fortunately, no one outside an airport lobby or nursing home common area is forced to watch the Communist News Network. They are totally irrelevant.

I watched part of that spectacle. Dude got his ears pierced on national TV, and was so drunk he didn’t even feel it.

“People are saying that I’m lit. Yeah, I’m lit. Who cares?”

The FCC cares. A clear violation of FCC rules to be intoxicated on air. He should be fired.

I was wondering out loud to some friends last night if that FCC rule applies to cable operations. Haven’t found the answer yet.

When you place diversity above professional quality, your network will always have people like Don Lemon and Donna Brazile.

One of the reasons that I don’t drink is that I would not want to inflict my drunken self on others. It is so disgusting. I used to be in contact with my drunken uncle when visiting my grandmother, and I hate babysitting drunks! Poor co-anchor!

I could. But I'd eventually give myself away by falling asleep at my desk.

Yeah what’s up with that tranny looking pig wanting to sex up a known GAY man? Does she think this is funny or sexy? How many years has she been doing this schtick? It wasn’t funny the first time and it’s just become more disturbing in the pizza gate type way as it was the first time.

Or Kathie Lee Gifford (what’s up with people with the name Kathie Lee being drunks on tv?) getting shknockered on live tv at 10 am in the morning with her accomplice Huma/ Hobo drinking margaritas or huge goblets of wine?

Must admit. Thats the only way to do it. However I was 18 years old at the University of Toledo. Young, and Dumb I think is the expression.

That’s terrible, feeding an emotionally disturbed man Tequila and making a spectacle of him before millions of viewers.

CNN should be ashamed and Lemon should be in treatment for his mental problems.
