I am totally down with Ratner being a d-bag. What he said was indefensible. But it does king of bug me that Ken Ehrlich, the Executive Producer of the Grammy’s could say the following:

“I think people deserve a second chance, you know. If you’ll note, he has not been on the Grammys for the past few years and it may have taken us a while to kind of get over the fact that we were the victim of what happened.”

To me, that is at least as bad as Ratner’s “rehearsing is for fags”. But no repurcussions.
