Michael Richards' apology tour
Now comedian Michael Richards has appeared on Jesse Jackson's radio show, offering yet another apology for his racist comments last week at the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood. Seems like he's trying too hard to persuade people he didn't mean what he said during the tirade. Here's an idea: Offer a sincere apology and then go into seclusion? Give us a chance to digest what he said and determine if we believe his story that the outburst was a mistake.
This series of apologies is getting to be like Cher's farewell tour -- never-ending and a bit tedious.
Richards, who played Kramer on "Seinfeld," told Jackson the remarks were fueled by anger, not bigotry, according to the Associated Press. Here's the AP story on latimes.com.
