Don, we hardly knew ye. Ah, who am I kidding, there was nothing to know. Finally CNN got around to firing that useless mound of stupidity, Don Lemon.
Don lashed out at the network for ending his broadcasting reign of error:
“After 17 years at CNN I would have though that someone in management would have had the decency to tell me directly. At no time was I ever given any indication that I would not be able to continue to do the work I have loved at the network,” Lemon wrote. “It is clear that there are some larger issues at play.”
But CNN said they had offered to meet with him to explain to him just how awful an employee he was.
“Don Lemon’s statement about this morning’s events is inaccurate,” its communications team wrote in a statement. “He was offered an opportunity to meet with management but instead released a statement on Twitter.”
I attempted to interview friends of Lemon but discovered that none existed. He will be missed by the cleaning lady who admitted that his office garbage pail was usually pretty clean.
Seriously, I guess someone will be sad about this. Probably whoever is next in line over there to be fired. Hopefully he’ll be scooped up by some other media outlet like Buzzfeed News. Oh wait.
What is surprising to me is that CNN was able to justify firing a gay black man from a woke corporation based on his antagonizing white women employees. That’s bold. It challenges the whole intersectionality hierarchy. Normally a gay black man can only be trumped in the hierarchy by a black transwoman or two latinx gender fluid females who suffer from lactose intolerance. But who knows? We’re living in strange times where you can’t depend on anything anymore. Well anyway I’ll miss The Lemon. His like will never be seen again. I hope.

And, as a yin to the yang, Tucker Carlson and Dan Bongino at Fox.
Hopefully guys like Carlson and Bongino will have very interesting opportunities in their future. Don Lemon will probably spend the rest of his life like some kind of gay black Norma Desmond waiting for his final brush with fame.
Snort!
