A ten minute on-camera interview with Don Lemon, in the middle of a city-wide crisis, is probably 9 minutes more time than they should have given to Lemon’s Monday-morning quarterbacking interrogations.

I was thinking more like 10:30 too long.

Lemon has a point: why have a militarized police force that skirts posse comitatus if it doesn’t swoop in decisively to quell protests preemptively? If preemptive strikes are good enough to justify killing a million Iraqis, certainly a few black folk whose lives clearly don’t matter shouldn’t stand in the way.
These politicians best get on the stick and protect that big box chain store that won’t pay a living wage from the consequences borne of day-to-day police actions. Don Lemon is right to avoid delving into what precipitated this mess and asking the hard questions about how such police tactics could be tolerated.
Lemon actually thinks people ridicule him because he’s gay. I caught a glimpse of him on some inane morning show hosted by Meredith Viera, and his attitude was “haters will hate.” Yeah, right.

Lemon tree very pretty
And the Lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor Lemon
Is impossible to eat

He has a point. What if a rift had suddenly opened in the space-time continuum and deposited a gigantic horde of new rioters on the streets before the state of emergency was finally declared? They would have totally been caught off guard.
Hey, I’m just putting it out there.

Lemon seems to be auditioning for a Faux News gig. He’s an idiot, but frankly CNN has never been much of a real news operation. More people need to walk away from cable news morons.

Wonder how Lemon explains those of us who are gay who ridicule him?

Absolutely. I heard that’s what might have happened to the missing Malaysian plane.

Well, in his defense, Don Lemon might not be quite as annoying as Chuck Todd.

And let’s not forget the 10 year property tax abatement plus the little secret where a third or more of the 6% state sales tax generated by big box consumers gets kicked back to the job creators. Selling the future for the present.
What if the Vogon Constructor Fleet had showed up?!! The Governor and Mayor would have been caught without their towels!

Rift in the space-time continuum? Please be serious. The Doctor would come and sort that out. Probably with a sonic screwdriver.
Hope he locks the Tardis. Otherwise it will get looted.

Why couldn’t they use Obama’s time machine? Doesn’t he share?

Exactly. I watched that interview live and I was amazed that the mayor and governor didn’t walk away sooner. Lemon was being obnoxious.

My gawwwd’…Television should have some sort of “Lemon Law” and recall Don Lemon, a ridiculous, pitiable, laughable and wholly embarrassing man trying, and always failing spectacularly, to pass as a “reporter.”
