Her gripe with the telethon is its grim prognostications.

On the contrary, Jerry Lewis and his telethons are the epitome of hope for cures for neuromuscular diseases.

But, around here, the disabled who attack Jerry Lewis get lots of attention.

Thanks for bringing that up.

I don't follow Jerry Lewis much except when we lived in France all our neighbors loved his unfunny continence. They would ask me and be surprised I didn't care for the guy.

Others don't care for him either as evidenced here:

I understand what Laura Hershey means. Many of the handicapped I met at Pinellas Park were not expecting some promised cures, were more interested in getting on with their lives.
