Juan Williams is starting to remind me of Nancy Kerrigan: "Why???"
He isn't handling it well. He will make a fortune from the Right Wing, but he will be about as popular as Nancy Kerrigan, who never really capitalized from her experience. Because people ultimately didn't like her, as they won't like Juan.

That said, NPR should have dealt with his employment at Faux News long before this.

From the video I have seen, he's like her asking, "Why? Why? Why?"

1. Williams has made a cottage industry of slamming black people.
And he knows it. That he got fired for doing the same thing to other people can't be a surprise to him in any way.

3. I suspect you won't see much of him anymore (even on FOX).
he was only useful before because he was the token "NPR Liberal" that was easy to kick around. He doesn't even have that now.

That $2M check Fox wrote him was nothing but pure publicity.

6. ?! Kerrigan was assaulted out of the blue by a highly disturbed rival. She was tremendously talented
Nancy Kerrigan in no way deserved to be assaulted, painfully injured, and have her career nearly wrecked because Tonya Harding was jealous.

Terrible comparison.

10. You know what, though? Kerrigan showed no class when she told Newsweek she was embarrassed
by her Olympic Silver Medal.

And the whole Disneyland thing...
