Isaiah Washington: "They fired the wrong guy..."

Isaiah Washington has done an interview with his hometown newspaper, the Houston Chronicle. I think it shows that all the gayhab and PSAs etc. were not so sincere, but merely a jumping through hoops to save his job on "Grey's Anatomy." Now that he's been fired, he's back in Golden Globe Award night mode, an evening when he publicly denied calling gay castmate T.R. Knight a "f****t" and in doing so, repeated the slur.
Here is some of what he had to say to Chronicle reporter Joy Sewing:
"They fired the wrong guy," Isaiah Washington said. The former Dr. Preston Burke on ABC's hit series "Grey's Anatomy" said that T.R. Knight should have been fired from the show.
"I have to clear my name. I'll start from the beginning. I'm telling everything. So here's the truth."
Washington said Knight, who plays Dr. George O'Malley, stirred up the notion that the slur was targeted at him and created a negative work environment. Washington also alleged that Knight likely wanted a salary increase and a more substantive role for his character. Knight, who acknowledged that he was gay after the incident, told Ellen DeGeneres in January that Washington used the slur against him and that "everyone (on the set) heard it."
"That's a lie," Washington said. "I used the word during a disagreement with Patrick. I apologized for that. We shook hands and went back to work."
He is considering a lawsuit: "My livelihood, my honor and dignity and my name have been so challenged."
"I was not fired for making homophobic slurs," he said. "I did everything I said I would do. I offered to go to counseling, to do a public service announcement. I wanted everyone to know I was remorseful."
Washington learned ABC would not renew his contract in a tearful call from the show's creator, Shondra Rhimes:"That was a shock. I did everything they told me to do, including not saying anything, and then they didn't renew my contract. That's not fair."

Hmmmm. I just don't think this interview helps.
