Jamie Foxx: No Women, No Kids

April 15, 2009 at 12:30 PM

Bill O'Reilly got it right when he called singer Jamie Foxx a pinhead behind some comments Foxx made about Miley Cyrus on his Sirius radio show. Thank God he apologized. But he should be careful in the future. That's a serious violation.

Foxx called Cyrus all kinds of everything, and she is not even in his lane. Foxx could learn a lesson from Don Imus: take aim at large targets. That means, calling a 16-year-old girl a bitch is beyond the pale, son. Even for satellite radio. As the father of a daughter, I'm shocked Foxx didn't know better. In this game, Leon's rule will serve you well: no women, no kids.

Good thing Foxx apologized. I know if Jamie Foxx went hard at my daughter on the radio, I'd have to get him, and let's just say his prognosis would be "Unpredictable."
