In the 18th hour of the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon, the not so stable Jerry Lewis made a major on air faux pas. While discussing the family of his cameraman Bart, he made the mistake of either calling the cameraman’s one son an illiterate fag or an illiterate fatty. It’s hard to hear which one he says. Either way, it was in very poor taste.
I made the call to get rid of Jerry last year. He has long referred to former “Jerry’s Kids” who oppose his methods for raising cash, as the “cripples”. He’s also said they are worth nothing and have pathetic excuses for lives. This type of verbal diarrhea is unacceptable by someone who is supposed to be helping a cause, not hurting it. He just keeps making the MDA look bad in the long run.
