    Gosh, I wonder why it has taken them so long to get rid of him. It's a mystery.

    I read a ghost column several months ago by a supposed current CNN staffer who was commenting on what life was like prior to and after the new management took over at CNN. His or her focus was not don lemmon but he was mentioned and it was not complimentary. Evidently Lemmon likes to drink, a lot. When he does he becomes the ultimate feminine gay diva and says extremely inappropriate things and as we saw on his New Years Eve broadcast several years ago, he gets pretty handsy. The supposed employee mentioned how his behavior would have gotten anyone else fired 30 times over. Gay and black is the new get out of jail free card evidently.

    Juicys problem was that he had the culprits also be black dudes. If he'd have used white dudes they'd be in jail and he'd be a martyr

    There is no way you could pay 2 white dudes to do the juicy hoax...No way!
    That's what is so stupid about that whole thing..
    any white dude knows that participating in a hoax like that would be a death sentence, on site, in or out of prison if caught.. don't matter if it was later proved to be a hoax.. dudes would be capped and dumped before it ever got to trial.
