#1 oh snap! She also didn't get a 2010 bonus. The humanity!

#2 heh heh - NB: I was wrong - the CEO, Vivian Schiller, that suggested Williams needed a psychiatrist is the one that lost her bonus

#3 Don't you love the fact that the same people who threw a hissy fit about Breitbart with the Shirley Sharrod video have no problem with the fact that Schiller and her merry band of censors took what Williams said completely out of context in order to smear him. The only difference between their behavior and that of the oh-so-notorious Hollywood blacklisters of the fifties is that the people being blacklisted by Hollywood were associated with an evil comparable to Nazism. What Williams was being (falsely) accused of is having a lousy attitude towards people who dress funny. So he should lose his job. Un-freaking-believable!
(Oh yeah, he made a snarky remark about the way St. Michelle dresses too. Oh, the horror!)

There are few small, symbolic victories that will make me feel as good as if when these smug, entitled parasites at NPR get their funding cut off for good.
