Ex-Dallas Anchor In The Soup In Alabama

Uncle Barky reports that Michael Scott–the ex-NBC5 anchor who was jumped on-air here by a lizard, creating a YouTube sensation–has lost his job as primary news anchor at a TV station in Huntsville, Ala. Seems that Scott, who’s black, referred to his producer, who’s also black, as a “negro” during a commercial break. When the producer objected, Scott called him the “n”-word, and wound up canned.

  1. Note to the producer: you live in the Deep South. You should have thicker skin than that by now. Grow some and don’t be such a puss about some good-natured name calling.

  2. You would have thought the producer was a cracker.

  3. I find the word “cracker” offensive when used in reference to a Caucasian.
