“Women should be having babies or naked, oiling themselves up at home,” Big Head DC noted that Lewis has said in the past. “They should be waiting with bated breath for their man. The rightful heir to the throne and ruler of all mankind. Only a strong man in a bear-skin bathing suit back from a long night at the clubs can rescue the weak, docile, female of the species.”

He added later this weekend that he thinks Condoleezza Rice is better suited to star on a soap opera, like Days of Our Lives, rather than being Secretary of State.

And then came the actual marathon where his real drinking must have started in earnest. By its eighteenth hour, Lewis was stumbling around the stage; his bow tie came undone and his shirt collar was a rumpled mess.

Suddenly, a cameraman caught his the 81-year-old’s eyes.

“Look how good he moves that camera, you son of a gun. Wherever I go, he goes,” said Lewis.

“Let’s see what you do with this over here,” the comedian added. Lewis then pointed toward two other cameras on the set.

“Oh, your family has come to see you. You remember Bart, your oldest son,” he said, pointing to one camera.

Jessie, the illiterate fag,” Lewis said, pointing to the other.

These comments toward women and gays are simply not right and should not be condoned. The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation group has already asked him to apologize, but we’re going one step further: He should be unequivocally fired from ever hosting another telethon again. He’s too old. His mindset is of the past. And he shouldn’t have a role in contemporary American social issues.

Plus, it’s not so clear that disabled people even want him advocating on their behalf. A growing number of disabled people picketed this year’s telethon and Lewis’ role. They argued that the aging comedian promotes a message of pity and weakness among the disabled.
