or "Don Lemon is a typical self absorbed hypocritical misogynist".
Either title is accurate, but the first one is far more interesting. It's obvious to most that Lemon is an a$$hat and completely full of himself, but it's rather delicious that he just did so much to get Nikki Haley's name in front of a lot of people who may not know it, and do so in a way that makes them empathetic to her from the outset.
I watched a show on the old TV sitcom "Married with Children". Apparently in season 3 the show still really hadn't taken off until an activist saw a particularly over the top episode and led a campaign to have the show removed. What it really did was get a lot of people to watch the show to see what it was about, and they liked it, and ratings soared and it was on 10 seasons.
the story is that each of those 7 years the cast sent this lady flowers every year it was renewed with a thank you card.
Lemon just did that for Haley. It's way too early to have any huge long term impact but there's no doubt this was a positive for her early.
Also it may get his dumb ass fired, which would be a nice bonus. Of course you just about have to murder someone at CNN or NBC to get fired for poor behavior or bad ratings.
