In an interview with the umpteenth woman to come forward with rape allegations against Bill Cosby, CNN anchor Don Lemon said something unbelievably stupid.

Lemon was speaking with Joan Tarshis, who says the comedian sexually assaulted her 45 years ago. The television ancho asked Tarshis why she didn't use her teeth as "a weapon," when Cosby reportedly forced the drugged woman to submit to oral sex.

LEMON: You — you know, there are ways not to perform oral sex if you didn't want to do it.

TARSHIS: Oh. Um, I was kind of stoned at the time, and quite honestly, that didn't even enter my mind. Now I wish it would have.

LEMON: Right. Meaning the using of the teeth, right?
