Law & Order" TV cop Richard Belzer said an Apple employee's claim that he choked her in an Upper West Side computer store was like a storyline from his show -- pure fiction. "The sad part of it was that police officers were called and had to report to the scene, and God knows we don't need all that manpower wasted on a trivial accusation that was clearly done either for attention or to embarrass a famous person," Belzer told The Post.

Belzer's Morons By Doug Powers On a regular basis, we hear people say how they "support the troops but are against the war." This has never made much sense to me, but then again, I'm not as smart as actors and comedians. Is there anything they don't know? Richard Belzer helped hash this out recently.

<p>Ros-Lehtinen mocked him: "Yeah, you know because you've been there." Belzer rudely lashed back: "What, I don't fucking read!? Don't do that!" He went on to argue: "It's this patronizing thing that people have about if you're against the war everyone's lumped together. You know, the soldiers are not scholars, they're not war experts."
