Maybe it was a botched joke. Yeah, I am sure the comment was meant for Bush and was not targeting at the audiance. Cramer will have to get the DNC to manufacture a phoney transcript of what he really meant to say.
To: Coachm
next part of this story will be he's a major repub supporter. if not, it'll be buried shortly...Naw, the next part will have him checking into a rehab center and blaming it on alcohol or stimulants.

Thta is a poor video but there is no doubt that is his voice. I doubt the legal jeopardy to be risked by publishing such an article would be too great for TMZ to be careless. I also believe the video was reduced to get the story out and the higher resolution version being saved so as to sell it. Otherwise this is a video from a standard digital camera that allows small clips and is very low resolution by the cameras limitation.

It also could be that the two hecklers in the front row were planted there and part of the act. Ala Andy Kaufman style.

Who is he and why should I care? (Other than typical Hollywood extremist hypocritical hatred, of course.)

I read the comments and was amazed at the abject pansies commenting on how disgusting and racist his comments were.

In spite of my concerns about political correctness, what he did was just totally uncalled for, to say the least.

Another Hollywood career bites the dust.
To: Bogey78O
I'm surprised he needs the money enough to do any live stand up work. But in comedy clubs I would say anything goes these days including bad taste, scatological humor, blasphemy, and the ugliest sides of sex. This little tirade should not shock anybody.

I'd like to disagree somewhat with the statement that some of the audience left in disgust.
Of course, I don't know if they were disgusted or not -- or at whom. But the clip clearly shows that after Michaels left the stage, when people starting leaving their seats. Because they knew the show was over.

"Have you seen your typical black comedian's comedy routine?"
I agree and that's why I don't watch that crap. I did too much research on the abolition movement, Jim Crow, and the modern civil rights movement to embrace what I consider self-destructive behavior.
