CNN Host To Accuser: Why Didn’t You Bite Cosby’s Penis To End Rape?

CNN's Don Lemon took it upon himself Tuesday night to explain how a woman who accused actor Bill Cosby of rape could have avoided the situation -- explicitly, that she should have used her teeth as a weapon.

Lemon sat down Tuesday night with Joan Tarshis, a former actress who said this week that Cosby raped her in 1969. The two had this extremely awkward exchange:

<...>

LEMON: You know, there are ways not to perform oral sex if you didn't want to do it.

TARSHIS: Oh. I was kind of stoned at the time, and quite honestly, that didn't even enter my mind. Now I wish it would have.

LEMON: Meaning the using of the teeth, right?

TARSHIS: Mmhmm. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking you're --

LEMON: As a weapon.

TARSHIS: Yeah, I didn't even think of it.

LEMON: Biting.

TARSHIS: Ouch.

LEMON: I had to ask.

TARSHIS: No, it didn't cross my mind.

1. gee, don, how many times has that happened to you?

[joeybee12]

2. Hell, pull a gun...getting violent is always the best way to

subdue your attacker.

3. Don Lemon is one sorry joke of a "journalist" and Bernard Shaw must puke seeing what has become of..

CNN.

6. Whatever happened to Bernie Shaw? Is he still around?

What's he doing these days? Books, a column, occasional media appearances?

If I recall correctly, Bernie Shaw was one of the few (if not only) black leading news anchors in a time when the Big Three hosted nothing but white guys -- Rather, Jennings and Brokaw. (Well, the 1980s era of only primetime white guys. We still have nothing but white guys on the Big Three some 25 years later.)

What's old man Ted doing these days, is he still involved with his brainchild CNN? What would he say about this jerk?

[Chathamization]

8. Bernard Shaw was horrible.

[tenderfoot]

10. I agree in that instance

eom

[bettyellen]

4. he did not "have to ask" . What a dick.

5. was it lemon who also asked if aliens were behind missing airline ?

7. Lemon is such an appropriate surname

This kind of demeaning exchange puts a sour taste in my mouth.

9. If someone bites Don Lemon, will it prevent CNN's rape of journalism?

[Scurrilous]

14. Epic!!

[badtoworse]

11. What a class act.

[fadedrose]

12. A man in that position might just pull her up

roughly, and punch her in the mouth so that she never bites anyone again, or worse. This is not rational behavior on his part, and confrontation might just provoke him enough to make him completely out of control, not her control, his.

His fun wasn't the act, it was in his subjugation of her and having failed in that would have brought unintended consequences she must have sensed.

Don Lemon seems like such a gentle man and a gentleman as well. I don't think he could even picture men like Cosby (if Cosby is guilty).

15. You are making very good sense to me.

It is a subconscious evaluation of the situation that in all probability did not give the woman the freedom to fight back that way.
We were not there, and can't possibly know.
Don Lemon messed up. He is pretty kind and I think quite smart. I like him, and I like he came out of the closet without fanfare.

[okieinpain]

13. so now don lemon is going to lose his job. man this is crazy. n/t.

[madinmaryland]

16. What a fucking jackwagon. Who asks something so fucking stupid??

Maybe, just fucking maybe, she had no interest in his penis being her mouth and had no desire for the disgusting results of biting his dick off.

Fucking jackwagons.
