Isaiah the Coward

Isaiah WashingtonIsaiah Washington apologized to everyone in the world for using the word "faggot," but he never made it clear if he had, in fact, hurled the insult at T.R. Knight during a physical fight with "Grey's" co-star Patrick Dempsey.

You'll recall that last October, Washington allegedly exploded at Dempsey and said, "I'm not your little faggot like T.R."

At the Globes on Monday, Isaiah finally responded and said he never used the word "faggot." That comment drew lots of criticism and now Washington has said he's sorry. What he actually said was, "By repeating the word Monday night, I marred what should have been a perfect night for everyone..." So, he's sorry he said it Monday night. But what about that incident on the set? Is he saying he lied when he claimed he never used the word "faggot" on the set? And, by the way, what does Washington mean when he says "By repeating the word" faggot? Is he acknowledging the lie when he said he never used the word?

All morning, TMZ called multiple people from Washington's camp, and from "Grey's" to get some clarity. Radio silence. No one will comment.

The one thing we can say... what a wuss for not taking his medicine like a man.

16. Wow Tee is a moron you sure have alot of very intelligent things to say. If Mr. Washington had said the N word, I would denouce him as well. But the fact that you have to resort to name calling goes to show how mature and intelligent you are. It is because of people like you that keeps stupid stuff like this going.

17. TALK ABOUT MAKING HIS CHARACTER GAY IS SO STUPID T.R. KNIGHT IS THE GAY ONE HERE. I DON'T HERE NO CALLS FOR HIS CHARACTER TO BE GAY ALTHOUGH IT IS OBVIOUS HE DON'T KNOW HOW TO BE WITH A WOMAN, LOOK AT HOW IS CHARACTER IS AROUND KALLIE AND HE REALLY SEEMS UNCOMFORTABLE AND NOW WE KNOW HE IS GAY THAT IS WHY.

HE IS THE ONE WHO THEY NEED TO MAKE GAY ON THE SHOW.
IF THEY MADE ISAIAH CHARACTER DR.BURKE GAY IT WOULD BE A SICK TWISTED JOKE, GREY ANATOMY IS A DRAMA NOT A COMEDY!!!!!!!!!!!

18. I believe he apologized because he didn't want to get fired, and I'm sure he was very close to getting his pink slip by Disney/ABC. But once someone apologizes does the press have to take polls and tear apart every word the person said to make sure he meant it? I don't think it was right of him to say this, but on the other hand probably most of us have said something in anger to our peers or family, or thought the words. The only difference is we don't have the press following our every word.

19. So Isaiah called a fag a "faggot." SO WHAT?! Now those ignorant people who are trying to equate "faggot" with "nigger" are quite stupid. Isaiah's race and color are what he was born with. It's irreversible. T.R., however, has chosen to be a fag. If he can't handle hearing the word "faggot" then he's in the wrong profession. The longer he whimpers and whines like a sissy and needs a big blonde girl to defend him, the more he'll be viewed as a "faggot." I'm sick of his character anyway. He stammers, he's weak, and last night's episode sucked because it revolved around him so much. Let's go back to the quality of seasons 1 and 2 where George only got a few minutes of air time. Like it or not, Isaiah is a main character. I was never much of a fan of Isaiah's before, but I like him more knowing that he's not of the stereotypical homo-loving bunch.

20. #2.....

Didn't Al Sharpton, and the big to do about the Laugh Imn incident f*** up Michael Richards "livlihood"???? When you choose a profession as an actor......when you rely on your "fans"......then you should RESPECT your fan base.....no one should disregard their fans......Grey's Anatomy has a gay fan following.....I know, because I am a lesbian....I watch the show, all of my friends are into it....my gay male friends love McDreamy, McSteamy, Dr. Burke......onviously their fan base is wide spread- but as the gay community grows....they want to be taken seriously, shown the same respect that other races, religions etc. require.....

The world is filled with oodles of problems that are "bigger" then this.....but a lot of the worlds problems start with the lack of UNITY......United we stand, divided we fall.....and people need to "think" about that......adding to the negative....just brings more negative.....

21. Well...I don't like Rosie O'Donnell. Does that make me homophobe or just someone who doesn't like obnoxious people? Or maybe both.

22. First of all the statement is not worth him losing his job over..with that being said ...send him to whatever GAY organization that is acceptable and take a couple of pic's and let's move on...that's what they do to us African Amer.

24. Maureen- you are ignorant....you know how many people belive they were born GAY......maybe you shoudlr ead a book....or go to a play ground, and watch some of the boys.....see how they are a little light on their feet......

The "N" word, and the term FAGGOT.......are both negative terms used to refer to a group of people....black= "N".......homosexuals= "Faggots"......

Some of the people are here are so ridiculous, it is shameful......

25. GAY PEOPLE ARE BY FAR THE MOST DANGEROUS SEGMENT OF SOCIETY.

26. Just say what you mean, and mean what you say. If you don't like gays, then thats fine. If you don't like straights, hey, thats fine too. Its too bad that you can't say what you really think anymore because the media will turn the whole damn world against you over nothing. This is simple, everyone get back to doing their job on the show. I could careless if TR is bent over the end of the couch by his boyfriend. I just like the damn show, I like the chicks with big tits and nice asses(oh man, I must be a pig), and this kind of stuff is rediculous. Everyone out there that is pissed about this is a damn cry baby. Always crying. God you are all freakin cry babies. I mean really, obviously we don't have anything more important to concern ourselves with. Maybe we should be concerned with the radical muslims that want to kill us... Oh I forgot, Americans don't want their lives disturbed with the real world. My bad...

27. GAY PEOPLE ARE BY FAR THE MOST DANGEROUS SEGMENT OF SOCIETY.

Far more than the blacks and Jews.

Every time I go to a place where fags are, they try to stick it in my pooper. I'm just trying to get through the day like everyone else. I don't need to be constantly worried about catching Gonorrhea or syphilis every time I bend over at the grocery store. Come on fags, please leave us alone and quit scaring the children.

This is America right? I have the right to walk down the street without every fag in town thinking this is Brokeback Mountain and trying to put it in my pooper.

The world would be a much better place without rainbows - chili bowls - LPGA - WNBA ( dyke ball ) - and Rosie.

Please homo's, let us normal people live without fear of a poop shute attack.

" I have a dream that one day I can live without fear of the gay man" - Dr. Martin Luther King

enough said.

29. He made a statement, he was addressed about it.....PRETENDED to "get it"....and then he made ANOTHER statement......at the Golden Globes....

For all of the CAPITAL LETTER WRITING FOOLS.....ANSWER THIS:

IF AFTER THE LAUGH IN INCIDENT, THE APOLOGY....IF MICHAEL RICHARDS WENT ON TV, AND MADE ANOTHER HORRIBLE COMMENT LIKE HIS INITIAL SPEER CHUCKING ETC.......WHAT WOULD THE BLACK COMMUNITY DO? WHAT WOULD HAPPEN? WHAT WOULD THEY WANT TO HAPPEN TO MICHAEL RICHARDS? THEN ASK YOURSELF WHY THIS "ACTOR" IS ALLOWED TO DO/SAY WHATEVER HE FEELS......WTF?
