An hour ago from Art:

I'm about to say a few things I can't believe have to be explained in a rational world. I observed that Cari Champion was a gorgeous lady. I then thought it would be funny to tweet JOKES about that observation. A decision which might be the end of modern comedy. I would rather load trucks for a living then ever apologize to one of these awful PC groups ruining the country. So that's a NO. But if it upset the lady in question that's another story. Let me say to Cari Champion if this hurt u in any way I'm sorry. I'm a comedian. Sometimes I'm funny! For the record my moms disgusted w the tweets. But if I based my humor on my mom I'd be broke.
They're now telling me I can't appear on @Midnight tonight cause of the pressure they're getting from these groups. But who cares. I love the show & it's my living but who cares. These groups have won again. All I care about is Cari Champion. Truly. But I'm sure you'll be ok. You're gorgeous & talented. I hope that didn't offend u. To the PC army. Congrats! U won again! Gluten free cake! I've been asked not to appear on @midnight & uve ruined any chance I had at dating Cari Champion (That was a joke).
I'm not racist. I don't hate women. And to u PC groups that did this I wanna be clear. Go FUCK yourselves! Now get back to saving the world. Done. Peace.

There is still a fine line in comedy. You can get away with things if done correctly. This clearly was not.

Saying "I'm a comedian" isn't an excuse to do or say anything you want.

Les Grobstein's huge hog is proof that God has a sense of humor, isn't it?

Who gives a flying fuck if Artie posted a few tasteless "jokes" on Twitter?

Reinsdorf has greatly enlarged his fortune by siphoning off millions of dollars--for more than two decades--from the public treasury.

Which is worse?

Artie is a guy who has no problem referring to other comedians as hacks. This was a hacky attempt at humor.

Epic fail or racism? You decide.

Definitely would

Maybe if I heard him say the things in the context of a stand up bit I would find it funny. That being said it just came off as creepy and weird at best.

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

actually being a comedian (or an american) does give you an excuse to say whatever you want. of course there are rules to what you can do, but to lump the two together makes you an idiot

was he wearing suspenders ?

The thing is though that these weren't even necessarily jokes. They were made by a man who makes jokes for a living but that doesn't mean everything he said was a joke.

If he had said this in person to her would it have been fine just because he is a comedian?

She looks good in that photo. I normally think she looks manly.

She has her days but in general I don't think she is attractive.

I was shocked by that picture. I didn't think she could possibly photograph that well.

I hadn't thought her to be mannish before, but given how she normally looks you're not that far off.

I just find it funny that other ESPN women (Michelle Beadle in particular) who seem to live for Twitter have remained fairly silent on the matter.

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

lazy .

"lazy" in that he was still on drugs and once again began "calling in sick" like he did at Stern
