Then I realized what it was about. I get it if some thought Gayle's question was out of line. Just say so. Don't resort to such misogyny.
Joe's right. It's bullshit that Snoop got a pass. I always liked and respected him, but after seeing that video, I can't and won't.
Michael Richards, Roseanne Barr and others have lost their jobs and can't even hardly set foot in public. I can't believe Snoop isn't paying any sort of price for this.
No apology can make up for that video in my eyes.

Its rather shocking that any journalist who so much as mentions that is threatened with firing or in this case worse. Its like metoo never happened if you are a basketball star.
