Rats on the air in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• The Rev. Al Sharpton and fired Don Imus producer Bernard McGuirk held a heated debate on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity and Colmes” show. McGuirk’s rants included calling Sharpton a “crude … opportunist, a race-baiter.” McGuirk admitted that “these words did hurt these girls,” but he added, “until you, Reverend Al, got involved, they probably never would have heard of it. They would have probably never, quote unquote, got scarred for life until you got involved for your own self-serving interests.” Not sure why McGuirk would think keeping the original remarks confined to Imus’ racist audience lessens the offense. Additionally, McGuirk should thank Sharpton for providing him with media attention, as most people would never have heard of him until the racist incident.
• The militant Mickey Mouse wannabe is back on a Hamas-run children’s TV show, only days after the Palestinian information minister said the program would be suspended (see Essay 3008). Guess the character has more political power than folks realized.
• Police are searching for actor Tracy Morgan after a Miami DJ charged that Morgan grabbed her arms, kissed her and put his head in her lap after an appearance at a local radio station. The female DJ also said Morgan appeared to be drunk. Um, isn’t that a given with any episode involving Morgan?
• Research conducted by the Imperial College in London shows thin people may actually have fat problems. Internal fat around organs like the heart and liver could be as dangerous as external fat that is evident in body bulges. A professor from the studies remarked, “Being thin doesn’t automatically mean you’re not fat.” This kind of discovery will only drive Nicole Ritchie more insane.
