| #11 Living on the Sienfield money is probably unsatisfying and his post Sienfield career has not taken off. My guess is Kramer feels the need to be relevant so he got up on stage. But he's not really a stand up, at least not befiting his name recognition so the hecklers ate him alive. |

| #8 I saw the video and heard the exchange. Richards was Kramer for keeps that evening. The hecklers in the back pushed THE button and Richards went apeshit. I would think that a guy in a stand up comedy club would be able to fend off hecklers, hell, it comes with the territory. The next question was what Richards needed in doing a comedy gig in a club like that? He should have got enough money from the Seinfeld shows to be quite comfortable. Or was the guy on drugs or what? He put on quite the tirade! Hell, he might have even got sinktrapped, heh. |

| #7 Richards is a bigoted chump who let his mouth kick his own ass. Just for now we'll ignore the deep hipocrisy that permits only blacks to use the word "nigger". Niggers come in all colors and some of the worst ones are white. |

| #5 I wonder how many other actors so loftily tolerant of the rest of humanity actually ever meet any of them who aren't servants. |

| #4 By the reaction of the MSM it appears that Mr. Richards has to be a closet conservative registered Trunk, cause otherwise they'd forgiven him by now. |

| #3 Nah. His career ended the day Seinfeld signed off. The goof should've moved to Aruba and had them send down the syndication and CD royalties. Although I'm sure the "Reverend" Jackson has his eyes on some of that action... |

| #2 His career is probably over. Still *I* give him a pass now that the guys he insulted are so hurt they're grubbing for cash and 15 minutes of fame. |

| #1 "He pledges never ever to say anything like that again.” In related news, comedian Chris Rock, last years host of the Academy Awards, has pledged to increase the use of the N-word in his routines from 200 times per show to 500 per show. |
