1) Morgan's Character of late on 30 Rock has been a recurring joke about the narcissism and self-importance of the entertainment industry, go figure. How the hell out of touch with media does one have to be not have encountered either the Trevor Project or the "It Gets Better..." campaign to think this acceptable in conversation much less on a stage? Nashville is hot bed of entrenched intolerance on a number of fronts, I have to wonder how the story broke and what kind of reaction the audience had.
Sadly, in light of all this, the show has its moments, its like 30 minutes of non-mechanical comedy that I am not expecting on network television. The show is likely in its last season (Fey and Baldwin have spoken of moving on in the last few monts). Fey while not throwing him to the people she acknowledged as justifiably enraged (herself included), Fey's condemnation of Morgan's remarks are such that she's trying to leave some kind of redemptive possibility alive. This is the same woman who with Lorne Michaels staged an intervention for a Hollywood starlet that's been in and out of rehab ever since.
Thing is I am okay with having him written off, most of the last season his absence was a running gag. And various boards have lit up screaming for a boycott until he does, better him than entire cast and crew unemployed.
2) Cannot find the reference to the article.
3) While, I'd love a two-for where we get rid of David Vitter as well; I'd settle for attention to the prospect of meaningful coverage of the Debt Ceiling Battle plunging us into the Great Depression where Big Business can finally terrorize the labor pool into submission, starvation and silence. I'd also love to know where the lethal contamination in the food supply chain is and what the hell is going on all over the middle east. I may abandon nearly all platforms except the BBC and my return to a select few magazine sites.
And I'd like to add 4) the Sarah Palin Email glut. Really, of the investigative journalism that is in desperate need of being done, this what you people are fixating on?
