and I don't care who I work for.

Let a fool slap me, and someone would have to help him get off the floor once I'm done with him.  At the very least, I'll make him think twice before he slapped another person.

If you haven't heard, Burt Reynolds slapped a CBS producer at the premiere of his latest film, The Longest Yard.  The producer asked him to explain the film, to which Burt asked him did he watch the original film.  The producer said no, and Burt slapped him and trashed him right on camera, talking about his clothes, clowned him on not watching the original, etc all while this guy was still standing right there and done absolutely nothing but hold the microphone.

Here's the video (and I must say, WCBS has great webcasting features).  Despite the spin his publicist is putting on this, saying it was "a playful slap" (I've never known any kind of slap by a grown man to be considered playful) Reynolds was clearly out of line and should be sued.  I don't think he should be charged for assault, unless you're going to charge the producer for being a pathetic wimp.
