CNN's Lemon Aid?

"Can Don Lemon Set CNN Straight?"

"CNN too often seems to think loud noises and cute moments are a good fit for the news. But cable news doesn't need another voice to yell over everyone else, it needs someone who can ask questions and be frank about the fact that the status quo is broken. Could Lemon be the guy to fix it?"  Wyatt Williams Creative Loafing Atlanta

Lemon on how CNN views him: "I think they want me to be the good-looking black guy. That's what I think. I don't know."  

Lemon greets the reporter "in pin-striped pajamas and a loose white tee."   

Lemon "has a full, masculine build and a commanding presence that puts one in mind of a politician. In person, his smooth, cream-in-coffee complexion looks as flawless at home as it does under layers of television makeup. His smile is striking. It is not an overstatement to say that his clear eyes literally glitter in the sunlight." 

He "combs his hair with an Afro pick, the classic kind with the big, black fist for a handle."   

"Sure, he's a bit vain and a little cocksure, but this guy wants the news to be just as much of a star as himself. He doesn't want to be the loudest voice in the room, he wants to ask questions. It seems so simple, but it might be the best bet cable news has for a future."
