		<description><![CDATA[<p>Last night A&amp;E suspended production on their popular reality show &quot;Dog the Bounty Hunter,&quot; after Dog, the show's star, allegedly unleashed a tirade of racist comments about his son's African-American girlfriend, in two recorded phone calls, which the <em>National Enquirer</em> subsequently posted on its web site. <span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&quot;A&amp;E has just learned of the story released by the <em>National Enquirer</em> concerning Duane Dog Chapman,&quot; read a statement from A&amp;E. &quot;We take this matter very seriously. Pending an investigation, we have suspended production on the series. When the inquiry is concluded, we will take appropriate action.&quot;</span></span></span><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-size: small;font-family: Times New Roman"> </span></span>
<p><span style="color: #333333"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">Last night, Dog put out his own apologetic statement, according to the Associated Press. </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;font-family: Times New Roman">&quot;I did not mean to add yet another slap in the face to an entire race of people who have brought so many gifts to this world,&quot; he said, according to the AP. &quot;I am ashamed of myself and I pledge to do whatever I can to repair this damage I have caused.&quot;</span></p>
