Everyone you mentioned (well besides most crips and bloods I guess) are much better comedians than Michael Richards. I'm more shocked that you would compare him to the Kings of Comedy than by his actual rant. The guy is a hack in the industry and proved it. The
Apollo Amateur Night rejects have more class than him. He didn't write his own character in
Seinfeld, so he could also be dumber than rocks too.
On a semi-tangent, I was trying to think about what he could do to redeem himself somehow. He's not really, really old or anything. Maybe he should try to get on Comicview or something like that. I know they wouldn't want him on, but millions of people would tune in to see what happens when he takes the stage. If he could handle it, then I'd take back my criticism of his composure
only. His character is still looking pretty bad right now.
