Jerry Lewis can probably forget receiving any donations from GLAAD next year… the 81-year-old comedian and MDA telethon host warmed hearts last night by calling a cameraman’s family member an “illiterate faggot” — and then tried to move on once he remembered he was on live television.
For video of Jerry’s “(bigoted) senior moment,” click here.
In related news, a touched Isaiah Washington subsequently gave a HUGE donation!

I don’t know how anybody watches that Telethon. Seriously: I don’t know if it’s his medication or what, but Jerry Lewis talks like he’s on a combination of brandy, vicodin and helium. I was cringing the entire 3-4 minutes that I was trying to watch him.
