Lenny Bruce is probably thinking it was all for naught.

I saw this yesterday and I thought that it might be some kind of an act or statement thing.  I still do in a way but he got a call from Jerry Seinfeld saying, "HEY!  Don't you remember that the 7th Season is coming out on DVD this week?" and that's why we had the mea culpa on the David Letterman last night.

Personally, Michael Richards can do little wrong in  my site.  He damned funny and brilliant.  I loved him on Friday's when he would play the kid in the sandpile.  I wish he hadn't done this but whattyagonnado?  They were saying on the radio this morning that he might have ruined his career.  I'm like, What career?  Collecting Seinfeld royalties?

I think he'll live.

PS I still think it is possible that he was playing a character and it didn't play well.   This seemed a lot like the kind of thing that Andy Kaufman used to do but audiences aren't what they used to be.

Lenny was a mason ?

( Sarcasm alert for the total retards)

But seriously folks. Have you noticed that Rwers are hardly ever really funny on purpose ? The only current  Rw comedian I can think of is Dennis Miller and he sucks a big one. The one before that was some misogynistic asshole with a NJ accent whose name I have mercifully forgotten. I guess hate & bile just doesnt tickle the funnybone to most people, but I suppose  RW freaks must enjoy it. ( That is the 30% of the fascist losers that still support the Bushidiot)

If you check out his bio you might be wrong in assuming he is a right winger.

Not many RW's have lived on communes.

And please try not to claim the mantle of sensitivity exclusively for the left. Look how you guys gleefully out gays.

What's up with that, anyways?

I was a DeMolay when I was a foolish youth and never met a leftwing Mason. Outing RW Gays isnt meant to be funny. It is Justice just like ridiculing Repub Black and ondemning  SonderKommado Jew Quisling traitors  . Anyone that betrays their own persecuted people for money & power deserve no better.

When a gay spends a lot of time lambasting gays and working against the efforts of gays, that is generally called hypocrisy.

It is hypocrits who are "outted".  It's not like outting a co-worker or outting a star who would like to keep it private.  Outting Ted Haggard is not just a simple outting, like oops, sorry I outted you.  It's outting to prove that someone in power is a liar and a hypocrit.  Impolite?  Probably, yes.

For that statement to be true it would mean that it is logically impossible for a homosexual to be philosophically against the concept of gay marriage and i don't know if that has ben proven.

Pointing out the sexual preferences of a closeted gay in any attempt to harm is equivalent to calling an african american who does not believe in affirmative action a nigger. There is an assumption that any individual thought processes that go against the norm of the subgroup is to be oppressed. And i don't think that is a place we want to go.

Bullroar.

On all counts.

If you want to equate blacks and gays then your allegory would have to be something like "Pointing out the sexual preferences of a closeted gay in any attempt to reveal hypocrisy is equivalent to calling an african american who does not believe in civil rights for african-americans black".  That is the only reality.

Truth is the paramount.  The outting is to STOP harm and lies.  As in the case of Ted Haggard.

And fyi, I do know some gays who aren't so much FOR the idea of gays being able to marry but they are never against it.

Please explain. Are you saying they have philosophical reservations about the idea? Are they ripe for stoning?

Michael Richards is a great physical comedian. No one ever did shakes and double-takes better than he did. Apparently, some Black guy interrupted his comedy routine, but hey, that has to be a frequent occurence at any nightclub where you normally perform before drunks and wiseasses.

I fail to understand the "upside down with a fork up your ass" bit. There is no old tradition involving inverting Black people or anyone else and  inflicting pain on their anal region with any sort of fork.

He wasn't funny, and this will cost him bigtime, I predict.

His apology was on YouTube but CBS took it off because it was "used without permission".

Richards is not a leading man, he is a great supporting actor, though, and Kramer and the spaced-out pharmacist on Fridays were his best bits.

Did anyone catch his apology on Letterman?
"Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana."

Has Ted Danzen recovered from appearing at a party in blackface?

Is this worse?

He has always been one of my favorite 'slap stickish' type comedians.  I am disappointed in the fact that he allowed himself to be heckled to the point of hysteria but do I think he is getting a fair representation in all of this?  Hell no.

Since when did we as a mass ever truly look at the circumstance.  Have seen any up close and personal airings of the two gentlemen doing their 'routine' to see him off?  I doubt it.

People do stupid things all of the time but guess what... we are so open minded that we will still pay money to watch a wife beating, date raping carnivore like Mike Tyson.

Nothing quite so shut as an open mind.
