Ramsey threatens to call in his lawyers...what a gutless creep

To call Gordon Ramsey a gutless creep is not to be abusive. It's to give an objective description of his character - at least an element of his character. This, after the Herald-Sun reports him this afternoon as saying the following:

Talking outside Crown, Ramsay said Grimshaw's attack was a blatant bid for ratings.

''Things have been over exaggerated, no doubt about that,'' he said.

''I never ever once used the word lesbian ... and Tracy decides to attack my wife.

''It's obvious she's done it for ratings. My wife is arriving in two weeks time and I can't wait to take her to Sydney."

Ramsay said his lawyers were scrutinising tapes of what he had to say about Grimshaw during his appearances at the Good Food & Wine Show.

''Having a tongue-in-cheek joke was not at her expense," he said today.

"So clearly on a personal front, to see how sad and how bitter ... a renowned pro to stoop that low and attack my wife is disgusting.''

In my previous comment, I omitted the quality of hypocrisy. And what hypocrisy. It's difficult to believe that Ramsey the world has seen on television is skulking off to pay a fee as fat as a herd of pigs to his clever lawyers.
