Isaiah Washington was finally canned from the hit ABC show"Grey's Anatomy." The axe fell only five months after he repeatedly used an ugly anti-gay slur. The make-believe doctor's contract option was not renewed for next season, prompting Washington to issue the bizarre statement/threat:
"I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore."
Well, he's also not going to be taking a lucrative paycheck from ABC. So, as far as i am concerned, he can stew all he wants on the unemployment line. Washington drew heat after saying "faggot" backstage at the Golden Globe Awards in January while denying he'd used it previously on the set against co-actor T.R. Knight.
To his credit, Washington did go into rehab and filmed a really good PSA for GLAAD with the positive message, "words have power" to hurt or heal. Still, his canning sent a stronger message: Anti-gay epithets carry as much trouble as similar racial or religious insults.
Washington can "proudly" join Imus and Mel Gibson as people who used their celebrity to hurt others. Now, we can sit back and see what the mad as hell Washington plans to do. For the sake of his career, I hope he doesn't join the Fred Phelps church and travel to gay Pride this June screaming, "God Hates Fags!!"

Christina left him at the altar for a reason. I hope TR Knight changes his mind and returns to the show, but he claims he wants out.

TR Knight **IS** returning to the show! He was offered a hefty pay raise to do so and happily accepted!
