"The problem is that last night’s 30 Rock appeared to be a defense of a good, but dimwitted guy, who sometimes says stupid things. The message seemed not just a defense of the Tracy Jordan character, but the real-life actor who plays him. The problem is that Tracy Morgan didn’t just perpetrate some thoughtless microaggression against gay people a la Jordan. (In the show, Jordan says if he were “turned into a gay” he would spend the day looking at his own “junk.”) Tracy Morgan said God didn’t make gay people because “God don’t make mistakes;” that gay people need to stop being such “pussies” and whining about bullying and violence against them; and that if his own son were to come out to him, he would “stab that little nigga to death."

EXACTLY. This is exactly what sucked about that episode.

"30 Rock castmate Jane Krakowski and Spike Lee were both in attendance and stayed until the end to participate in a standing ovation."

— This sentence, buried at the end of the article, is the REAL STORY here. I like to believe that Jane Krakowski and Spike Lee sat next to one another and talked a lot because they are best friends. UNLIKELY BFFS.
