Should Isaiah Washington be fired?

I don’t actually care either way. I just don’t like his character, though, because of it, and that keeps me from rooting for him.

I guess in the real world, as a manager, I would have been forced to fire him, suspend him without pay or put him in an anger-management class. And quite honestly, I doubt any company WOULD give him probation. But for the fact that he’s a recognizable personality who’s essential to the storyline, he doesn’t get (at least, as far as the public can see) any sort of reproach. But if I said it? Well, in my division, nobody’d care (we’re pretty liberal) but in other departments, you’re run out of town on a rail for far less than that.

So, like I said, I don’t care what they do with him, but the recent rash of idiotic celebrity behavior just serves to outline the fact that the divide between “them” and the rest of us desk monkeys is far and wide.

And this whole “rehab” thing is total bullshit. What is this? Some kind of de-bigoting camp? I’m guessing the network made him do it.
