…Is pretty damned sad. He deserves whatever’s coming to him. He did a big, huge asshole thing. But he certainly did the right thing on that interview. Damned courageous. He took full responsibility. He didn’t try to pass the blame. I was honestly expecting him to say he was drunk and have a publicist release something. I honestly do believe he’s a good person who had a insane slip in his judgement, was trying to be the edgy stand-up, and went waaaay too fucking far.
I don’t feel bad for him. He still deserves everything that’s coming to him, but he knows that, and admitted no less in the interview.
The most credit, though, goes to Seinfeld, who stuck up for a friend publicly, in a very bad moment, when it would have been quite easy for him to keep a low profile.
EDIT: Um, that link probably wont work soon. I just was told Youtube is getting rid of all those due to copyright infringement. Fuckers.
