\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Hey! Hey! Hey! I\u2019m looking for something here, folks. Where is it? Let\u2019s see here. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Grab Don Lemon. Don Lemon is the anchor at CNN who has sex with other men. He\u2019s come out, and he defended these guys at KTLA for that interview with Samuel L. Jackson<\/a>. Here, grab number 19. This is funny. This guy at KTLA TV talks to Samuel L. Jackson and asks him, “So how\u2019s that Super Bowl commercial working out for you?” and Samuel L. Jackson didn\u2019t do one; Laurence Fishburne did. Samuel L. Jackson said, “What? We don\u2019t all look alike. Who are you?” Here it is…<\/p>\n

<\/a>RUBIN: The Super Bowl commercial. Did you get a lot of reaction to that Super Bowl commercial?<\/p>\n

JACKSON: What Super Bowl commercial?<\/p>\n

RUBIN: Oh! You know what? I\u2019ve been… My mistake. I —<\/p>\n

JACKSON: See? See you\u2019re as crazy as the people on Twitter.<\/p>\n

RUBIN: Right.<\/p>\n

JACKSON: I\u2019m not Laurence Fishburne!<\/p>\n

VOICES: (guffawing)<\/p>\n

RUBIN: That\u2019s my fault. I know that. That was my fault. My mistake. You know what?<\/p>\n

JACKSON: We don\u2019t all look alike. We might be all black and famous, but we all don\u2019t look alike.<\/p>\n

RUBIN: No.<\/p>\n

REPORTER: You are guilty!<\/p>\n

JACKSON: You\u2019re the entertainment reporter?<\/p>\n

RUBIN: My mistake. I apologize.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. So you heard that. Here\u2019s Don Lemon last night on Erin Burnett OutFront at CNN. So they\u2019re talking about this, and Burnett says, “When this happened Samuel L. Jackson handled it so beautifully, right? But a study in the American Psychological Association found quote, ‘people are notoriously awful at recognizing faces from other races.\u2019 My infant at home is getting used to my facial structure. So, he\u2019s getting used to that set of features that we are so used to. So, when someone has a different face structure, we blend them all together.”<\/p>\n

So what she\u2019s doing is setting up: Okay, we gotta defend the TV guy. At all costs, we gotta defend this TV guy who thought Samuel L. Jackson looked just like Laurence Fishburne. We gotta defend the guy. So they go and they get Don Lemon, who is an anchor at CNN who has sex with other men. He\u2019s come out, he\u2019s gay, and he weighs in, and here\u2019s what he said…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

LEMON: When someone is in our tribe, it\u2019s easier… This is just me talking, okay? When someone is in our tribe, I think it\u2019s particularly easier for us to tell them apart because we\u2019re used to their facial features.<\/p>\n

BURNETT: Right. You notice the tiny little differences.<\/p>\n

LEMON: The little differences or, you know, the mannerisms or what have you. <\/p>\n

BURNETT: Right.<\/p>\n

LEMON: But when someone\u2019s in a different tribe, sometimes it\u2019s harder. But let\u2019s be honest. I\u2019m probably gonna get in trouble here. People do look alike. There are features that African-Americans have that are similar. There are features that white people have that are similar.<\/p>\n

BURNETT: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

LEMON: There are features that Hispanic people have that are similar.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. It\u2019s permissible for them but not for us. Let me tell you something: Laurence Fishburne does not look like Samuel L. Jackson any day of the week. He does not. He does not sound like him, doesn\u2019t look like him. (interruption) Absolutely right. By the way, I probably shouldn\u2019t ask them, but if it\u2019s okay for a man who has sex with other men to be in a shower in an NFL locker room with other men, is it okay for a guy to be in a shower with women?<\/a> (interruption) Did you hear me or were you in there chatting about the latest carrot cake recipe? (interruption) You didn\u2019t hear me. All right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
