Isaiah Washington: "Why Me?" Because you said it!

"I felt sorry for myself. I'm not going to lie. I felt sorry for myself many times. You fall into that little space and go, 'Why me? Why me?'"


Last night, Isaiah Washington gave us the best acting of his life during his first TV interview since the whole "faggot" incident on the set of his ex-gig, Grey's Anatomy. But he has been practicing this script for months now so it was no surprise to me how well he handled himself on Larry King Live.

Even now without the ABC gag, Washington really didnt say much of anything new. However, he did admit that he attempted to quit the program twice but ABC insisted he stay and follow their rules, including going to "homohobe rehab". So of course he was much surprised when at season end he got the boot.

I gather ABC appeased(used) Isaiah until the writers could successfully write him out of the show. For this I do sympathize with his ordeal. This is no different than when your employers have every intentions of firing you but make you work the full day before crashing you minutes before the close of the work day. Now that would piss me off too! And then to make matters worse, he can't even get a decent referral. Hence the campaign to clear his name.

While this saga is annoying and the campaign is seemingly pointless, I do believe he should not have been let go for this foolishness. But I don't work on the set of this show so who knows what tension still lurks after this whole ordeal. Maybe someone had to be let go. And isn't it always the angry black man?

Isaiah Still Bitchin! - Takes ABC Beef to Larry King Live

So it seems in effort to rehabilitate his tarnished image, Isaiah Washington formerly of ABC's hit TV dramedy "Grey's Anatomy" has been on ole campaign as of late chatting up the whole "faggot" incident YET AGAIN!


Tonight on Larry King Live, for the first time on TV, Isaiah will give us his side of the story in this hour long interview. Personally I can't imagine what the man will have to say that we haven't heard already. But now that ABC's gag on Washington (who knew?) has expired he has already began bitchin' to whomever will listen. According to the New York Daily Post, Washington has already completed three interviews. Click here to read his last interview on newsweek.com.

All I want to know is why, Isaiah?

Yes, I can imagine the need for Isaiah to clear his name because now he will always be known as the homophobe who lost his big ABC gig on the most popular dramedy today. But once cleared then what? Do you think you will get your job back and if so, after all this beef would you want it? Or better yet, do you think this campaign will help keep you off the unemployment line as casting directors will sympathize with your story and not begrudge you any future TV roles?

I personally thinks he needs to end this campaign now before he does anymore damage to his already tarnished image. I think Hollywood would still prefer to work with a homophobe over an angry black man anyday.
