Jeff Ruby Update

Lots of people who are in the public eye pursued their jobs because they knew they'd end up being, well, in the public eye.

Jeff Ruby is no exception. He's the restaurant owner who kicked O.J. Simpson out of his Louisville restaurant 10 days ago, simply for being O.J., the man who still hasn't found his wife's real killer.

I think Ruby did a heroic thing by showing some balls and telling Simpson to get out of his restaurant the night before the Kentucky Derby. It's no secret that Ruby likes rich celebrities -- white or black -- and evidence of that is plentiful in the form of framed photographs plastered all over his restaurants of himself with a bad Cosby sweater, no smile and an arm around one of hundreds of famous people who visit his establishments.

Ruby spent last week all over the national media, offering satellite interviews to the cable networks and such. Good for him. The publicity will do wonders for his bottom line.

But in typical lawyer fashion, Simpson's attorney, Yale Galanter, tried to call the kettel black over the weekend.

A few days after claiming he'd go after Ruby by trying to shut down his liquor license, claiming the restaurateur made a racist move by booting Simpson, he then said Ruby's move was nothing more than a publicity stunt.

"If we had our druthers, this would have died that night and been over," Galanter told the Associated Press over the weekend. "We are not pushing it."

We are not pushing it.

That sounds a lot like me choosing to make this blog weak, or me deciding not to sleep with Cheryl Burke, as if it were up to me.

I think when Galanter says "We are not pushing it," what he means is, "We have no case." You did have your druthers, asshole, and you chose not to let it die that night. Your boy got embarrassed, and now you both should die.

Ruby would have let OJ stay, but when Simpson said "What...ya think I don't know how to cut up prime beef?", he had to throw him out.
