When your ratings go low, dig deeper. Mel Gibson -- drunken rage wrecks car and spouts anti-semetic comments. Michael Richards, spouts racially offensive comments.
Both attempt to apologize with their fingers crossed, not for good luck, but to counter their lies. "Gosh. I didn't mean it. I really don't have those feelings ...", blah, blah, blah.
Unfortunately the right person wasn't around the Laugh Factory to offer Michael a "drink from the fire hose"+, which would have suited him very well.
+ allusion to his role in UHF, where the kids' program had a highly-charged host who let a kid "drink from the fire hose" sending the kid flying from the hose to the wall.
Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.

I wish there was a real talk show out there that could portray these actors like they really are, so that right off the bat we'd know if they were crazy or politically motivated or a completely narcissistic, so that only decent people could become famous. Instead these wackos take our money and by the time we find out they're complete asses, they're set for life. Michael Richards is a complete flake. That apology was even more weird than the outburst.
