Jerry Lewis has meltdown

Yet another display of ignorance by Jerry Lewis...This time he resorted to calling one woman in a wheelchair a "human mattress" and accusing protesters at a recent book event of faking their disabilities saying he "bought their wheelchair and they would walk away and drive home"...obviously he sees no other way we might drive! Ughh..well-it was quite exciting to me that the protesters attended this event and gave some a chance to see his not very hidden dehumanizing views of people with disabilities...still all the journalists that I've read and seen (there's a news clip on this page) failed to do ANY background research of why in the world these crazy wheelers might be a little cranky....instead they are portrayed as random rabble rousers and poor Lewis (at least he's the one pitied now!) just couldn't talk over them. I wish this organization would have responded to the news channel with their views.
Hmm...I wonder if Miami is on his book tour---perchance my first protest is on the horizon! I am PUMPED! I must go now to practice my chants:-)
