Shecky Greene cusses out Lewis, apologizes

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on January 21st, 2010

From Norm Clarke’s gossip column in the Las Vegas Review-Journal comes this account of a Wish I Was There moment:

Righthaven LLC has teamed up with the Las Vegas Review-Journal and the Denver Post to sue ‘mom and pop’ websites, as well as nonprofit, political action, public interest, writers, and forum board operators for copyright violations. The strategy of Righthaven is to sue hundreds and thousands of these websites and counts on the fact that many are unfunded and will be forced to settle out of court. Nearly all cases are being filed in a Nevada Federal Court and must be fought in this jurisdiction. You are not safe from Righthaven if you are out-of-state.

We have removed the quote in order to protect ourselves from legal action.

DAMN! Why couldn’t we have been at this show, instead of the one in May?!

Letter of apology? To whom? Lewis? Certainly not the audience… that’s a bonus, in our book! It’s like going to the Grand Ole Opry and seeing someone collapse from “exhaustion!” (We came close… It was Skeeter Davis’ birthday the night we visited the GOE back in 1988 and she was… exhausted!)

Greene doesn’t owe anyone an apology. From everything we’ve ever read, we figure there are hundreds, maybe thousands of people who would like to give that same message to Jerry Lewis.

H/T to C.R.!
