For those who haven’t seen it yet, here is the footage of Michael Richards (of Seinfeld fame) losing the plot on stage the other night. Truly mezmerizing. Like watching a car crash in slow motion.
You can read the New York Times report into his later appearance and apology on David Letterman’s show here. (It looks like CBS had the YouTube video of the interview pulled.) Via Clive Davis.

I tell you whats so crazy about this. I was having breakfast with Micheal and Mel Gibson only two weeks ago. I had no reason then to suspect that I was dining with a pair of bigots. You live and learn.
By the way. Richards, in case you were wondering (I was not) he’s not a Jew.

Paul, if you look at his hair he looks like he had some sort of mix parenting with straightened hair and dark face.
You never know a person until you see them when they are in trouble. I think it came out of frustration, but his career is finished from now on unless he starts a charitable organization to support black people. On the other hand I felt sorry for him, the same way I felt sorry for “Big” Ron Atkinson, it seems when people are in trouble they always go for the easy option of attacking the weak or the easy target without thinking,
I think he forgot to wash his mouth before going on the stage.
