Washington D.C. (Dropped Contract)

Isaiah Washington is ticked off that he got fired from Grey's Anatomy. Once again, when somebody in the public eye says something stupid, there's no point in apologizing and bending over backwards, going to "rehab" and all that other stuff, because they're just going to fire you anyway. "It was a dumb thing to say and I apologize," that should be it, and if that's not good enough, why give the outrage-mongers the satisfaction?

Or it could be he's just impossible to work with, I dunno. Nor do I know how the show is ever going to be the same without him, because I have never watched more than 90 seconds of it. Why am I even talking about this? Oh yeah, because it's the only entertainment news that's not about that retarded socialite, whatsername.

Homophobes should have to pay the price for spreading hate. How do you think Mr Washington would have reacted if another celeb had referred to him as a nigger? I'm sure he (and probably you) would be leading the call for that person to be fired. But when it comes to bashing gays, people like you and your buddy Isaiah are a lot more lenient, it seems.

What I want to know is why he went with the Howard Beale line.
