Memo to NPR: Give Up on Juan Williams

By Baxter

We cats have often wondered why National Public Radio continues to bother employing Juan Williams. But now that Williams has referred to Michelle Obama as "Stokely Carmichael in a dress," we're more than wondering — we're astounded.

Granted, Williams did not make the remark on the air at NPR. But the fact that he made it on "The O'Reilly Factor" says it all.

Where does this come from? Obviously the man's been so steeped in Republican talking points that he no longer qualifies as a mainstream journalist. He needs to be relegated to Fox "News" and solely to Fox "News."

We cats just wrote to NPR, to HISS at Williams' behavior and to demand he give Mrs. Obama a public apology. If you'd like to do the same, visit www.npr.org, or send a letter to National Public Radio, 635 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20001.
