A HUGHLEY MESS

Good on D.L. Hughley. He’s sticking to his guns, even though some local black — well, let’s be honest, “leaders” is a bit of a stretch — want to boycott his show Saturday at Bass Hall after he committed the sin of making a joke on the Leno show. Money line:

“Too many times I have watched clowns like these pretend to speak for the masses,” (Hughley) said. “Isn’t there a child you can help teach to read, a war to help stop, an unjustly accused man you can help out of jail? I will not apologize for telling a joke about the world as I see it.”
