"Hold My Hat and Gloves?" Oh Please!

I've been having a great time watching the historic Inauguration, or Inaugurabama, ceremonies. The media, everyone involved, seems to be enjoying the moment, particularly the parade and now "the walk." The respect they have all shown the President, and their excitement at being a part of history, is evident.

But Don Lemon, once the bad boy of Chicago media, has dsiplayed some incredible arrogance.

Standing with a couple of members of the Pennsylvania National Guard and doing his live shot, he actually had the temerity and rudeness to ask, on camera, the Guardsmen to, "Hold my hat and gloves, will you?"

C'mon, Don. You're a tiny twig in the media maelstrom surrounding the Presidential Inauguration, and about as far down the ladder as anyone could be from members of the armed services who volunteered to help provide security.

What were you thinking, you arrogant ass?
