Go to any police station booking room. Go to any military base. I don't care where you go, even to schools, you will hear the "N" word. This is who he is. It is part of his life. Asking him to change his language is like changing your DNA. You might be able to cut back, but you will never completely change it. A TV show can Bleep it out, but if the boy's girlfriend heard him or his employees saying it, all hell would break loose. I've seen his show and don't care one way or another if it stays on, but to kill it over this is stupid.
If you look back, Mark Furman lost his career and probably the case against OJ over something this stupid.
Get rid of Chris Mathews, or Oberman if you want to clean up TV. And for God's sake, don't bring back Rosie.
I don't care where you go, even to schools, you will hear the "N" word. Yes, I didn't find the conversation particularly offensive in light of far harsher statements said by others.
But in today's media, you're one statement away from "career suicide." Sad.
