that richards thing smells, he used to stage huge anti-semitic things with andy kaufman for kicks, and seinfeld was booked on late night tv weeks before, just happened to be right after this incident and the release of seinfeld season 7, which is now the highest release sell ever for that franchise.
we live in a world of spin, a world of all manners of crap.
like what you like, and leave the baggage at the door.
