Another Hollywood liberal showing his true colors...
Director Brett Ratner resigned Tuesday as producer of the Oscar telecast after coming under fire for making an anti-gay slur, leaving the motion picture academy scrambling to cast a new team to helm the February award show.
Ratner, director of popcorn films such as "Rush Hour" and the newly released "Tower Heist," was an unconventional choice for the job and was touted as someone who could shake up the program and bring more viewers and pizazz to the affair. Although the show's ratings have flagged recently, the Oscars remain one of the most-viewed broadcasts of the year, often second only to the Super Bowl.
It was unclear whether Ratner's handpicked host for the Feb. 26 broadcast, Eddie Murphy, would also bow out.
The controversy erupted after a Q&A session last weekend following a screening of "Tower Heist" during which Ratner said, "rehearsal is for fags." He then went on Howard Stern's Sirius XM radio show and talked explicitly about his sex life.
So... the next time you are at rehearsal... you can credit that upstanding PoS Brett (homophobe, pervert) Ratner if someone whispers in your ear "rehearsal is for fags".
