Look up the word cantankerous and that's what he is.
I wonder if he'll release a public apology. Doubt it.

Who cares? So some guy used the word "******," big deal.

not on television and it's offensive...this is basically the same as someone on tv saying the n word to refer to a black person, the f word to a homosexual, etc...

yeah, if a guy has ignorant thoughts and wants to express them, fine, as long as he's not hurting anyone.
too bad he did so, while publicly appearing as a spokesperson for a charity--while he has done heroic work for the mda, methinks it's time he stepped down.

They didn't show the whole clip. He said "no" right after he said "the illiterate fagg0t", so I'm thinking he was just joking around. Some people's jokes are different than others.

well, at least he didn't pull a "michael richards" and try to riff off of that for 10 minutes--i guess at his age he doesn't have to worry about committing a career killer. . .
