I confess I didn’t know TV legend Norman Lear was still alive. But he’s still kicking — and working — at 93. TPM’s Tierney Sneed interviewed him yesterday about that famous 1972 All In The Family episode on homosexuality which got way under Richard Nixon’s skin. We also have a never-before-seen clip of Lear from a yet-to-be-released documentary as he reacts to hearing Nixon on his secret tapes griping about the show “glorifying homosexuality.” Lear’s take, all these years later, is worth a watch.
