It was stupid to make that comment.

She's in the profession, and should know better.

Ali used gorilla as an insult to Frazier. You don't insult your cohost, and if you can't figure out that comparing a black person to a gorilla is an insult, you're too stupid to even read the news.

Alex Housden may not get fired, but she will never get another job in broadcast media, or perhaps anywhere.

Don't be so sure. A former news anchor here who was forced from her job over "racist" online remarks (which were actually nothing more than reasonable speculation about the perps in a drive-by shooting) was just named the afternoon talk radio host on a 50,000 watt blowtorch.

Liberal heads are, of course, exploding. Once a name, always a threat.

Remember that there is no forgiveness for whites saying anything the left does not like. Meanwhile, minorities can say virtually anything without a second thought.

"Everyone knows that gorillas are native to equatorial Africa only."
