Cosmo...

I'm sure by now, everyone already knows about Michael Richard's racist rant in the LA comedy club. And I'm assuming that those same people saw Richard's apology on Letterman the following night. Obviously, what Michael said was wrong, but I thought the move by his good pal Jerry was just as bad. Jerry's out promoting the 7th season of Seinfeld coming out at Christmas and doesn't want it's sale affected by Cosmo's rant. In the guise of "helping" a friend, Jerry has Michael on Letterman to apologize because he "cares". Sorry, but I don't buy it - the only reason Jerry had him on was to protect his DVD earnings. Some friend indeed.
