He made his bed and now he should be sleeping in it. Instead he is just going on and one and on and making himself look like more of an idiot each time he says something.

Doesn't the show have not 1 but 2 other black co-stars; one of whom plays a loudmouth rude boss-of-all-bosses senior resident, and the other is the freakin chief of surgery. So atleast they're not racist on TV!!

Anyone watch him on Larry King tonight?

I caught it tonight. He came across as honest and believable to me.

It was nice to hear about his cast mates getting in touch with him, especially Sandra Oh. I'm basically done with the show.

I have only seen a couple eps of Grey's. But, are you done with the show soley because Washington was fired?

Yeah that and Kate Walsh not being on the show...

Unfortunately I think this show is on the way down. Not because of Isaiah leaving but because the storylines have sucked a lot lately and the character development has been crap. All though it could get better now that Marti Noxin is going to be running Private Practice.

still wondering why he thought TR should be fired also?

(I can't play the video here at work)

why would he think that?? ABC would be up shit's creek if they fired both, washing their hand's completely of the conflict which in turn both the NAACP and GLAAD would be down ABC's throat.

I like this analysis of the interview.

Because he says Knight involved himself in the situation because he was disappointed in his role on the show and wanted better storylines, and of course money. The fact that he looks like a victim would also benefit him.

Therefore Washington believes Knight should be "looked at" for creating a huge controversy that had nothing to do with him.

Honestly, I don't know what to believe. Washington acted like he had no reason at all to lie or exaggerate anything, but with these things you just never know.

Excellent post. I love these two excerpts from the blog:

"Washington didn't call T.S a F, he called Patrick Dempsey a F because Dempsey was showing up late for work and is a slacker. According to Washington Fs are men who are lazy and not worthy of respect and he would never call a F a F. Never. And Dempsey is a manly man just like Washington, both of them manly men who are clearly not Fs--so Washington was not and never would call an actual F a F because he loves Fs."

"One last note, had I been Larry King I might have pushed Mr. Washington on how he would have reacted if Patrick Dempsey had called T. R. Knight an "N" not because T.R. is black--which he clearly isn't--but because T.R. is lazy, shiftless and dishonest. Rather, King allowed Washington to go on and on about how much he loves poor people in Africa, his wife, his three children and his army of gay friends."

For a f@ggot, he sure likes using the word f@ggot.

Christ, let's cut the guy (Washington) some slack. He's already been crucified on the altar of Hollywood political correctness for a relatively minor if ill-advised incident. An incident that practically everyone in the real world can easily associate with -- insulting someone you're mad at by calling him a 'f@g'. Wow, truly a heinous crime; let's execute the guy and be done with it.

Get the fuck over it you self-obsessed putzes.

We agree, if you're talking about Washington.

yeah... right... go fuck yourself Richard Rothstein. I don't know which is worse, Washington uttering the word, or Richard's use of the word)

Here is Producer and Creator Shonda's take... nothing too earth shattering.
