Michael Richards 

An actor who unfortunately made racist rants at a comedy club, and now has to suffer rehab and all those stupid things. The things he said were morally wrong, but it was obvious that he was simply angry at those men, and when we are angry we say the things that we think will hurt them the most. He clearly has anger management problems, but it's unfair for men like Al Sharpton to be trying to completely destroy him for it.
Wow that was stupid of Michael Richard to say the things he said. Now Michael Richards can't convince anyone that he may not be a racist.

Michael Richards Syndrome

A condition when a celebrity becomes so famous for playing one role, song, character, media, etc... that when they try to move to something different, it goes horrible wrong or fails immediately. Or in visual media, when a celebrity plays characters on different shows that are different in name, but the same in personality and demeanor. Can vary in degrees, from minor to very severe. They are usually not flexible when it comes to their performance.
AKA: Michael Richards Disease/Disorder
"Ed O'Neill has Michael Richards Syndrome in that he will always be Al Bundy, but it is a minor case because can still play some other decent characters"

"Joe Pesci has always plays the same character in everything he is in: a easily angered short person, he has Michael Richards Syndrome"

Michael Richards 

You know who he is. If not, you're either living under a rock, stupid, or didn't live through the '90s.

Due to his recent display of 'hateful' douchebaggery at L.A.'s Laugh Factory, he's been branded as a racist prick, Grand Wizard of the KKK, the second coming of Hitler, etc. I don't think he's racist. An insecure loser who deserves public ridicule, yes. He probably just felt trapped at the moment so he came out swinging with whatever he had.

Racial slurs are the lamest kind of insults. They don't attack the guy's personality, looks, or intelligence (all of the easy targets); they just attack his race. If calling a punk heckler the n-word is the only way you can stand up to him, you obviously lack the sharp wit for this line of work.
My friend called Michael Richards a hateful racist, but I knew he was just a has-been actor who couldn't even insult someone correctly.

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
