OK, so NPR "senior analyst" Juan Williams got fired for saying he fears Muslims dressed liked, well, Muslims. Of course, his comment illustrates only that he shares many Americans' unfounded prejudices and irrational fears.
It's too bad Faux News jumped in and offered him $2-million to keep being a fool on Fox. He could have gone to work for New York candidate for governor Carl Paladino, who hates gays but loves Lesbians, or for Delaware candidate for the U.S. Senate Christine O'Donnell, who said that evolution isn't working because she can't see monkeys changing before her very eyes.
What no one is saying is that Juan Williams has always been a horse's ass. His comments and so-called analyses have always been lame. Remember him as a moderator of a presidential debate some years ago? He's the one who asked the stupid questions. When the reporters on NPR have had to ask Williams for "analysis," he has always said something obvious or stupid.
The truth is that Juan will fit in just fine at Fox, not known of its overall IQ. Of course, Fox made its offer as a comment on NPR. Analyze that, Juan.
