That made me wince. In his younger days, it was perfectly acceptable to make fag jokes (and pollack/wop/nigger jokes), but now, it’s a different world.
I wonder how he’d react to a muscular dystrophy patient being called a “retard”?
I’d blame his age on this one, but I think he was just scraping bottom to get a yuk-yuk out of people, and it backfired.
At least he issued an apology. Probably better to move on.
