For what?! He didn't do anything wrong. I wonder how long before being a conservative will cause you to be forced into some kind of rehab.

In a statement Wednesday, Washington said he has begun counseling in what he describes as a "necessary step toward understanding why I did what I did and making sure it never happens again."

BTW, here's a usage note from the online dictionary:

In addition to its original and continuing senses of “merry, lively” and “bright or showy,” gay has had various senses dealing with sexual conduct since the 17th century.

A gay woman was a prostitute, a gay man a womanizer, a gay house a brothel.

This sexual world included homosexuals too, and gay as an adjective meaning “homosexual” goes back at least to the early 1900s.

After World War II, as social attitudes toward sexuality began to change, gay was applied openly by homosexuals to themselves, first as an adjective and later as a noun.

Today, the noun often designates only a male homosexual: gays and lesbians.

The word has ceased to be slang and is not used disparagingly.

Homosexual as a noun is sometimes used only in reference to a male.

In a statement Wednesday, Washington said he has begun counseling in what he describes as a "necessary step toward understanding why I did what I did was stupid enough to say something so obvious and making sure it never happens again I never say it again and ruin my career."

Fixed it.

Rehab for using a anti-gay slur? This is insane. And now a few papers have dropped Ann's column because of this?

Lord...

So she called the Breck Girl a bundle of sticks...what a crime....
