In no way do I condone or endorse what Michael Richards said or did.
It is really annoying, and sad, that people are saying that Kramer is a

Michael Richards ceased being Kramer eight years ago.
I would hope that the public would be smart enough to make the distinction
between a character on a show, the person playing the character, and me,
the person the character was based on.
Of all the articles written about this "incident" my friend
Ritch Shydner, a very funny comedian and comedy writer, wrote the most articulate
and intelligent Op-Ed piece.
