.. because I think your career is heading for palookaville

LOS ANGELES // Michael Richards said Monday he spewed racial epithets during a stand-up comedy routine because he lost his cool while being heckled and not because he's a bigot.

Read the rest of the story at THE BALTIMORE SUN.

So it's clear to me that he kinda, sorta meant it when he blew his stack like that. That wasn't an act. I feel pity for him, but I do think he deserves magically becoming unhireable from now on.

See how quickly Seinfeld and Julia Louis Dreyfus will be to distance themselves from this (of course, they have careers),...

The following video is of Michael "Kramer" Richards spouting a racist tirade at some comedy club in Los Angeles today. The language is quite offensive. I'm posting this because I can't figure if he was trying (and failing miserably) to channel Lenny Bruce's act fifty years after the fact (in which case he is just trying to shock the audience through the use of the word "nigger"), or maybe he really does think of black people this way. It's hard to say from the invective. He really does seem angry to me.
