Dog the Bounty Hunter will soon be returning to A&E. Are the fans stil, er …RABID? Har-har! Seriously though, take this into consideration:

A&E spokesman Michael Feeney says Chapman isn’t a racist, and that network executives felt he deserves a second chance after working on redeeming himself over the last few months.

I’m sorry. I lost interest in the dude when all this brouhaha happened. How did he “redeem” himself? Through the usual channels of Al Sharpton?
