Arrr, me hearties! Real Time scallywag Bill Maher did jest with former CNN landlubber Don Lemon about his claim of constant discomfort as a gay Black matey. Methinks Lemon be needin' a grog to cure his woes! Aye, me thinks Maher be needin' a sense o' humor too! Arrr!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, former CNN host Don Lemon found himself in a bit of a pickle after bringing up his race and sexual orientation during a jolly segment on "Real Time with Bill Maher" on Friday. Lemon, along with the likes of NYU professor Scott Galloway and Maher himself, were chatting about those pro-Palestinian protests that be happening on college campuses far and wide.All three scallywags gave those protests a good tongue-lashing, with Lemon even calling them a mere "fad." But Lemon also reckoned that these protests could be a right fine lesson for the young students. "Arr, it teaches 'em to deal with discomfort," Lemon squawked.While Galloway and Maher nodded their heads in agreement, Lemon tried to explain further, "Listen here, ye landlubbers! I be a Black gay man, so I be livin' in discomfort all the bloomin' time. And that be a jolly good lesson for these college scallywags," Lemon proclaimed.Afore his stint on "Real Time," the former CNN anchor was the butt of many a joke for his controversial remarks against Nikki Haley. "As Don Lemon told us on CNN, women actually can't run for president, because he said we're past our prime once we get to our forties. But since you have to be thirty-five to run, it's like this really tiny window between 35 and 40," joked ABC News contributor Sarah Isgur.At the start of his Friday show, Maher took aim at them anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian protests, bellowing that they be nothing but a mishmash of activism and narcissism. "You'd have to be a right dimwit to think that causin' folks to be late to pick up their wee ones from daycare be the way to win them over to yer point of view," Maher scolded. "Seems like a bunch of privileged swabs causin' havoc on the bridge while the rest of us have to earn our keep."Argh, what a tale of high seas and thorny debates!
