Ah, if only Don Imus had watched this episode before... y'know

And I also wish Aaron Sorkin had seen this episode, too, before the painfully protracted episodes he tried to do with a black writer and a black performer on "Studio 60," which were so frustratingly wrong-headed and wrong-spirited and just plain WRONG, it's the moment I gave up on that show. But "30 Rock!" Wow, THIS is what it's really all about. THIS episode just so totally got it right. Toofer was right. AND Tracy was right. I LOVED that! What show actually shows both sides?? I was in tears laughing. And the running gags were priceless, both the bit with the "N" word and the vacuum cleaner, and Jack dating Condie! SO funny! And the "Black Frasier" scene mentioned above? I'm still dying--I'm seriously, seriously still dying laughing about that!!
