Kramer is No Comedian

First and foremost, Michael Richards is not a stand up comedian. He has never been, and will never be. Before Seinfeld, the guy was a "serious actor"; the pigeon-hole/typecast the entertainment industry (and probably everyone else) stuck him in as being this funny guy was something he never previously experienced. It came as no real surprise to me when I saw the Laugh Factory incident on YouTube. The guy can't handle a little heckling. The fact of the matter is, he wasn't funny: he was bombing that night. Due to his lack of experience, he blurted out "the N word" for a few shock laughs and clearly even this was not executed properly. One of the most uncomfortable parts of the whole charade was watching this guy try and appologize on the Tonight Show. Jerry Seinfeld at one point has to tell the audience to "Stop laughing, it's not funny." Whether or not Michael Richards is actually a "racist" at this point does not matter. He is clearly an idiot, both for his rant and his attempted appology. We will no doubt see him on E! True Hollywood Story in the next 5 years or so. Condolences, dear Kramer.
