The disabled don't need people to cheer themselves up by donating money.(snip) They need programs like Colorado's that pay for aides to help them live independently.

So she prefers Government assistance instead. Bet I know who she voted for.

[Frantzie]

Who does she think she is? Dean Martin?

As critics see it, the frenetic comic has perpetuated a myth that living with MD isn't worthwhile.

People think those with MD would be better off dead? If so, I've never heard anyone say so.

These "don't you dare call my disability a disability--just shut up and give me your money" types make me sick.

From what I understand, Jerry Lewis donates enough grease from his hair each year to keep almost 57% of the country’s wheelchairs running smoothly.

[a fool in paradise]

Why should those with MD get more help than those with other conditions?

Ever look at AIDS research funding?

[Pravious]

What a whining idiot.

God bless Jerry for all the money he’s raised for MD over the years.

[calex59]

So the way I understand her is that she doesn’t want people to contribute of their own free will but to have the money ripped from them by the government and given to her and other MD patients.

That statement is an oxymoron if I have ever seen one.

When I was a kid I hated the telethon because school started the next day (today functionally) so when the Jerry Lewis commercials started that meant fun summer was going away. The last time I bothered to turn it on I found the finely orchestrated sobfest kind of annoying, it’s all so blatantly manipulative.

I need a taxpayer-funded program to hire some servants for me, too.

[Mr. Bird]

But if you're looking for someone to hire or date

I didn't think "Jerry's Kids" were of dating or employment age, but maybe times have changed.

Good grief, it's a charity. I never once (even while watching hours of the telethon as a very young boy) thought of them as anything other than being dealt an unfortunate hand, and thought it was nice that people were willing to give millions to help out. Lewis himself can be an ass at times, but so what?

[The Comedian]

So has she repaid all the funds she received from the evil Mr. Lewis? Or is she just another hypocritical, whiny bitch?

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
