Jun 23 2008George Carlin dies at 71

0623_george_carlin_rip_00.JPG

Sad news this morning. It's been reported that legendary comedian and cantankerous badass George Carlin passed away yesterday at the age of 71, according to People:

The stand-up comic and author – best known for his groundbreaking routine "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television" – reportedly died of heart failure at Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica. (Carlin, who was open about his long struggle with drugs and alcohol, had a history of heart problems, including a previous heart attack.)

George Carlin was always awesome to me because he had a hilarious way of seeing through the everyday bullshit. The world just got a whole lot less funny and a little less brutally honest. Rest in Peace, George. You'll be missed.

Rest in peace first

goodbye George! i'll miss ya!

Haha.First post. ^_^;


Rest in peace,George.

Glad he's gone. It's been sad watching his pathetic downturn the last few years. Hopefully the world will remember his good material and not the pathetic and unfunny crank he became over the last decade or so.

George Carlin, motherfu**ing co**sucker, I salute you.

Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker and tits. This sucks.

Rest in peace.

I thought he was already dead. didnt find him funny. but RIP

I miss George Carlin. But couldn't you find a picture of him with a scantily clad B-actress wearing no underwear?

Wow.. #4's apparently a little pissed that she'll never get that extremely rare Honeycomb cereal SNL #1 poster insert autographed now. So sad..

Where the fuck are we going to get our doses of dark cynicism and scathing vitriol now for shit's sake?!

Fuck rest in Peace. Rest in Party George!!

RIP.

I was beginning to think this wouldn't have been mentioned unless George was in a fucking bikini.

Without a doubt of of the best. He was one badass motherfucker, some of his material made me laugh so hard people came into the room to find what was wrong.
I truly hope that I keep on kicking when I'm 71 like him.

SHIT, PISS, FUCK, CUNT, COCKSUCKER, MOTHERFUCKER, and TITS. They were great passwords. now I will have to find new ones.

Sorry Dan, they needed to said again.

RIP George. You were a comedy legend.

I LOVE YOU GEORGE. YOU WILL FOREVER BE REMEMBERED!!!!!!

I enjoyed George's humor over the years. Hope your journey is a good one; whatever this may be.

This sucks. Goodbye Mr. Conductor!

I heard about this last night and was really sad about it. It was clear that he'd slowed down some in the past few years, but I still figured he'd be kickin' for awhile longer. It's a shame that he's gone. RIP, man.

For the uncouth motherfuckers among you:

http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/conlaw/filthywords.html

verbatim transcript of the filthy words bit.

And, as has already been mentioned:

Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker and tits.

"Rest in Peace, George. You'll be missed."

Way beyond fucking that.
It's the end of an era.
Think of the tepid, weak bullshit comedy and commentary that's around now. A septuagenarian had to keep some level of validity. All that's left now is Will Farrell prancing around in athletic gear and shitty Get Smart remakes (which was scathing commentary and comedy in its own day, can someone make Mel Brooks 35 years old again??).

Fucking start of a new, bleak, shit-encrusted era of frightened comedians thinking controversy is fart-jokes and that cutting-edge is awkwardness after unsuccessful sexual pick-up lines. Assholes. Oh, and George, hope you finally found "peace", if there is such a fucking thing.

whothefuckcares.com?

Brilliant dude. Rest in peace, Mr. Carlin.

Man, this sucks. I wonder if his soul will be doing his frisbee on the roof religion.

I like that guy.. "when will Jesus bring the pork chops" was a good book

never thought he was that funny. it doesn't take a lot of talent to use filthy words and be funny. lots of nigger comics do that. regardless, rip george.

Do you suppose that if we were to hang Britney, Paris, Lindsay, and Mr. & Mrs. Douchebag (Spencer and Heidi, in case there was any doubt), that maybe, just maybe, we could get George, Sydney Pollack, Dick Martin, Bo Diddley and Harvey Korman back?

I'd say it's at least worth a shot - and if it doesn't work, no real harm's been done.

Who's with me?

You will be missed!!!! and Never Forgotten!!!!!

Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits.

So, a legendary anti-Catholic bigot dies. He better hope he was right about there being no God...

And here it is..

A Sad Day, The world has lost the best damn Comedian who ever had the balls to say what we all really wanted to hear (whether we knew it or not) Any one with half a brain that thinks for there selvs is morning his loss and as for #4 you cocksucking fagot (and i'm gay so i'm not insulting gays just that guy) your probably a fucking terriost or Jeff Foxworthy you stupid fucking un-american idiot I hope you choke on a dick and die!


RIP George Carlin The world is less funny and alot more borring with out you.

Hmmm...Now we can only pray that Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young arent far behind...then there will be 4 of the most overrated people in the entertainment industry gone and we can move forward.

Regardless, RIP george. You were...kinda funny a few times.

I vote that we rip out Dane Cook's heart and transplant it into Carlin.

Win-win

How about we just rip dane cooks heart out?...then behead a few muslims, mix it all up and feed the mixture to pigs and dogs.

I love it when a plan comes together!

eh, i'll miss russert more.

Just incase anyone didn't know Catholic's are the fucking stupidest, most ignorant fucking idiots to ever walk the earth. How any one could believe that horse shit dogma is insane, such an obvious attempt for a governmental hierarchy to control the masses though stupid superstitious beliefs is ridiculous. And you call yourself Jesus #25? Just shows what a ignorant hypocritical dumb ass you are don’t be mad because George had a brain and you don’t

same goes for anyone else who has anything bad to say about George

Outside of George W Bush, he was one of the only white guys I ever thought was funny. Now I have to wait for Bush to mispronunciate something to snicker again.

R.I.P. George, your brutally funny and honest jokes will truly be missed in the era of Carlos Mencia and Dane Cook, two loud, obnoxious, joke thieves who think they're stand up legends.

It's actually at least two previous heart attacks, at least according to one of my favorites of his routines:

"An update on the comedian health sweepstakes. I currently lead Richard Pryor in heart attacks 2 to 1. But Richard still leads me 1 to nothing in burning yourself up. See, it happened like this. First Richard had a heart attack. Then I had a heart attack. Then Richard burned himself up. And I said, 'Fuck that. I'm having another heart attack!'"

I'm going to fucking miss him.

glad this douchebag is dead, blaming those poor families that lost their homes in the california fires last year, saying it was their own fault.. hope he rots in hell.

funny seeing someone "try" and rip someone a new one by calling them "fucking stupidest, most ignorant fucking idiots" ...all the while having about 8 grammatical errors in their post. So who's the " fucking stupidest, most ignorant fucking idiot to ever walk the earth" now?...

Answer:

Besides # 36, Elliot_Spitz_On_Her... for using George Bush as the answer to all his problems in life...and for not remembering Jimmy Carters speeches, Dukakis's verbal raping of the english language and more currently, Barack Osamas countless verbal blunders.

This site sure does bring out the hypocrites and sad, sad side of America that embarrasses us all...the Left.

WHATEVER DOUCHEBAG.

If the republicans didnt hate gays, i wouldnt have a problem with them.

YEA..I LIKE SUCKING COCK. SO WHAT?...I should be able to do it in my house, my car, my nephews gym class, his daycare etc. Its my business.

Angel, get the fuck up here! NOW! You call that good grammar and paragraph structure? Is that how they teach in non-parochial school? The fucking ruler is too good for you. You are such a complete misinformed, ill read dumbass that you're getting the yard stick!. Hopefully I can whack some sense into that little bigoted Proddy brain of yours. Pucker up buttercup, here comes the pain!

Aw. That sucks. George Carlin was an amazing entertainer. Funniest. Guy. Ever.

MikeOxbhig: the Left doesn't embarrass us, it's the Right! The truly ignorant ones who believe tax cuts are the answer as those tax cuts cut services that people need, leaving people homeless and without healthcare, and then complain that too many poor people and elderly people get welfare and social security, yet as soon as they needed welfare they'd be the first to beg! The one who let Bush lie to us about a war, and use wire taps, and think that Clinton's blow job deserved impeachment. The ones who think there are still weapons in Iraq (the ones that Rumsfeld armed Saddam with in the '80s) and that al queda has ties with Iraq because they lap up whatever the government tells them! Ok, Obama was tired and said he's been to 57 states rather than 47, and Dukakis was stiff and a bad public speaker, but Bush is a man born with a silver spoon, who got into Yale because of the skull and bones society, despite his C's and D's at Andover, who got out of the army because of his dad and then didn't show up for the National Guard (yet Kerry was considered the army coward by the so called "liberal news media"), who couldn't keep his oil companies afloat, who stole the 2000 election, taking away votes sneakily, from elderly and black voters, with help from Katherine Harris and Jeb. He then let the environment go to waste by hiring former pollutant lobbyists as protectors of the environment, took over 4 days to respond to Katrina, and tried to combat AIDS in Africa without using contraceptives and promoting abstinence. Carter, Obama and Dukakis may have said stupid things, but Conservatives are much more embarrassing, ignorant and detrimental than liberals by far.

i'm sad now. can't believe he's gone. :( RIP, george.

#41 - You misunderestimate me. Now I realize how hard it is to put food on your family, and I really think people and fish can peacefully co-exist. Oh yeah, more noo-Q-lur power please...

Seriously, didn't I already hand you your ass last week? You're exactly the kind of tampon string George Carlin despised.

Who can possibly fill his shoes?RIP George

I won't miss him. Only thing I know him from is Jay and Silent Bob strike Back, where he played a homeless man giving head for rides. he ranks up there with lewis black for being one of the most annoying jerks in history.

@47

Right on Spitz! Mike, go molest a choir boy to Toby Keith or something

And now in George's words...

Human beings will do anything, anything. I am convinced. That's why when all those beheadings started in Iraq it didn't bother me. A lot of people here were horrified, "Whaaaa, beheadings!" What, are you fucking surprised? Just one more form of extreme human behaviour. Besides, who cares about some mercenary civilian contractor from Oklahoma who gets his head cut off? Fuck 'em. Hey Jack, you don't want to get your head cut off? Stay the fuck in Oklahoma. They aint cuttin' of heads in Oklahoma, far as I know. But I do know this: you strap on a gun and go struttin' around some other mens country you better be ready for some action Jack. People are touchy about that sort of thing. And let me ask you this... this is a morale question, not retorical, I am looking for the answer: what is the morale difference between cuttin' of one guys head, or two, or three, of five or ten - and dropping a big bomb on a hospital and killing a whole bunch of sick kids? Has anybody in authority given you an explanation of the difference? Now, in case you're wondering why I have a certain interest, or fascination lets call it, with torture and beheadings and all of those things I have mentioned, is because each of these items reminds me in life over and over again what beasts we human beings really are. When you get right down to it human beings are nothing more than ordinary jungle beasts. Savages. No different from the Cro Magnon people who lived twenty five thousand years ago. No different. Our DNA hasn't changed substantially in a houndred thousand years. We're still operating out of the lower brain. The reptilian brain.Fight of flight. Kill or be killed. We like to think we've evolved and advanced because we can build a computer, fly an airplane, travel underwater, we can write a sonet, paint a painting, compose an opera. But you know something? We're barely out of the jungle on this planet. Barely out of the fucking jungle. What we are, is semi-civilized beasts, with baseball caps and automatic weapons.

Yeah I remember his "7 words" routine .... But I laughed harder at his differences between Football and Baseball .... Whereby in football, the idea is for the QB, and field general, to march his team down the gridiron pummeling opposing players along the way to score a "TOUCHDOWN"
In Baseball, the idea is for everybody to "Go Home ..." Everybody just wants to go home.
#41 - I remember Jimmy Carter - It was perhaps the worst presidency of USA.
EVERYTHING rose .... food, gas, housing .... wait ---- am I still talking about Carter?
OMFG !!!
De'ja' Vu !!!! ...... It's the 70's all over again !!!!
I don't know if I can hang with the "Obama Traveling Salvation Show" either

I saw his act live once and people walked out. He came out with a script and called his "performance" a rehearsal for an upcoming HBO stint, and then it went downhill from there. I guess people were pissed to have paid $60 for a rehearsal that was read from a hand held script. I didn't hold it against him - as he brought many laughs when I was younger - when he was in his prime.

Not all geniuses innovate or reflect on society in a positive manner. Sometimes they surface as a funhouse mirror allowing us to see the ugly side of humanity. George did this better than most, and for that I will miss him deeply.

I think George would be much happier with a goodbye in the words of Trent Reznor:

"God is dead, and no one cares. If there is a hell, I'll see you there."

Another tribute to Carlin: http://www.236.com/blog/w/jamie_kilstein/crossing_the_line_7285.php
He will be missed.

You can rot in hell for the next infinity zillion years, you fucking bigot. Have fun mocking God in hell, you atheist bastard.

Hey #36, Angel:

How you don't think that all the Muslims and Mormons (and every other religion) are equally stupid and ignorant is beyond me. It's not like one religion makes any more logical sense than another. But in your defense, It probably isn't like you had Sheik Ali Mohammed's cock in your mouth when you were a kid, Just Father Whatever his name's.

But seriously, if you are going to make a point, make it a good one.

This just breaks my heart. What a great and brilliant man. RIP, sir. Thanks for all you gave.

#55,
Damn, you have a lot of anger and hostility built up for someone who is clearly so "religious." Aren't you supposed to be forgiving? I am betting that you are a hypocrite in more ways than just this one. I bet your religious leader would not approve us such venom. Fuck off. What an asshole...

Count me in, Em (#26)!!

BTW, I think Lewis Black might be the heir apparent to Carlin. He's brilliantly hilarious!

Elliot_Spitz_On_Her, you wish you had your hand in my ass last week, faggot. I like how you didnt comment on what I said about past presidets. that tells me you dont know what Im talking about , as I suspected. So keep on feeling full of white guilt and vote for Osama, as only the ignorant and those voting solely based on race will.

How do you find so much time to post on here while either

a: working for greenpeace
b: frying fries
c: sucking cock in your local gay bar
d:sucking cock in your local schoolhouse

I had the privilege of seeing that crusty cocksucker pontificate about life a couple of times. Thanks for not being a pussy and pulling a punch line because someone got offended. Thanks for making me think a little while I laughed. Hope there's a lot of dope (look up Mitch Hedberg) and tits wherever you are.

#55

If there is a God, I do not think he/she is up there keeping score on humans. He/She has more important things to do like over seeing all the aliens in the other planets that have already lived for millions of years and are far more advance then us humans. We are merely a piece of sand at the beach.

@45...WOW...you are all excited little boy, arent you? I could feel your emotion all bundled up, waiting to get out. So...

10% of the people in this country pay 90+% of taxes. thats not right punishing someone who worked harder and makes more to pay for those that dont. I guess this is a subjective topic, but thats how I feel about it. So yes, if someone making 150k a year is paying 20+% in taxes and someone making 25k a yr is paying 8%, thats not fair. Everyone should pay the same percentage.

Your dumbocrats approved the war and had the same info Bush did when he decided to do so, so I lay the blame (if thats what you want to call it) at best, 50/50.

Wiretaps should be legal on anyone suspected of doing illegal activities (subjective again I guess). If that bothers you, get some tissues.

Clinton lied...thats what the impeachment was for, not a blowjob.

Yes, we sold arms to Iraq. We also sold them to Japan, South Korea, Libya, Israel, Germany, England, Norway, France and the other Nations in NATO. SO?...Your point is? We bombed Japan in WW2 and now we supply them with arms. SO?..your point is?

Oh, so now Osama was "tired"...lol. So you have an excuse for him huh?.. Bush is never tired when he makes speeches Im sure. For that comment, YOU ARE A FUCKING IDIOT my liberal pantywaste friend. PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A HYPOCRITE and a biased Piece of Shit.

Who cares how Bush got into college?...You think Barrack Osama got in there without any help? The oil companies are still in business and he won 2 elections that you cant deal with. Quit crying, you sound like a fucking baby.

Environment go to waste? STFU...there are just as many scientist that say Global (NON) warming isnt happening as there are that say it is. So in the very least, more information is needed to make a complete assessment. Unless youre a DUMBocrat or liberal, then its scare tactic time. Theres the bias seeping through again...your heart bleeding all over the place for the stupid caribou...or spotted owl. Blah blah blah wah wah wah. Thats it dummy, save the animals...and lets not drill for oil in our own country, we'll let others drill, but not us. FUCK the middle class that needs thebreak, You care about some fucking animals that taste better on a plate anyways.

"Ladies" and gentlemen,

#64 is a fine example why you have to get off your ass and vote this November, before another DUMB FUCKING REPUBLICAN gets elected.

@45 continued...
Katrina huh?...well who fucking cares? They had the chance to leave and knew what was coming and have known for 40 yrs it could happen. I live in fucking Hurricane Alley, was in Hurricane Hugo in 89 (a CAT 4) and you know what?...we helped each other...we didnt stand around crying about the government not being there. I didnt have power for 2.5 months. I could care less about people that cant help themselves and that when given help,act like f*king n**gers by destroying the cruise ships that were giving them room and board, using the debit cards they were given at liquor stores, strip clubs and ghetto ass clothing stores etc, then still blaming everyone else and the government. Why waste any time in Africa on anything?..they just keep fucking and having more babies and continuing to dessimate the area and population with aids. How about this. We fly over there and spray something to sterilize everyone there. Ill chip in on that. You happy?

@45 continued...
Thanks for playing idiot, but your game is over.I know all you other numbnutz are going to pipe in with your stupid bleeding heart views and answers, but dont expect a rebuttle from me. Id rather argue with my 6 yr old about how many cookies he can have than sit here going back and forth with you "internet political geniuses" that care more about how people "feel" right now then how things need to be done for the longevity of the country. The left is taking us down a road where we will no longer be leading the world in everything we do...we will be watching it pass us by, and all of you liberals will be the first ones sitting the going "what happened?"

P.S. Deacon Jones, thanks for proving my point. All mouth, no intellect, no facts, none of your OWN opinions or arguments etc. PERFECT example of what Im talking about. What cruise ship were you on after Katrina?

right now carlin is fucked in the ass by my dad

"We must prick holes in the stiff wall erected by the smut dealers. We have to get on them, we aren't going to lick this thing by being soft"

-Carlin on how politicians often sound dirtier than porn.

Funny fucking guy. RIP George.

Never fails, someone like George Carlin dies, and Mike Oxbhig lives.

Saw him live once. Funniest fucking comedian ever!

RIP

"Who cares how Bush got into college?...You think Barrack Osama got in there without any help?"

Yeah it's called a scholarship; you get them when you are brilliant and poor. Unlike W who was just ignorant, rich and connected, kind of like now.

BTW #68 your a fucking moron. Take you homophobic tough guy routine somewhere else. We all know your 5 ft. tall and impotent so your not fooling anyone you fucking doucheknuckle

People - People ....... can you cease with the politics and take it to another web site?
He didn't have a problem with drugs or alcohol - he did drugs and drank alcohol - no problem
{{ (_|_) }} here's to you George. I know how much you wanted to watch humanity destroy itself. So I crush and snort this cross-top and tip my glass of red Port wine mixed with Jack Danials to you my man. If that isn't decadent bro - nothing is.

@73...

LMAO@brilliant.

Uh, yea. Brilliant...uh...brilliant...um...brilliant...Hell...brilliant at not answering a single question or laying out any plans...Brilliant at making whites feel guilty for slavery and racism and brilliant at garnering their votes based solely on that, He surely doesnt say anything any sideshow snake venom salesman doesnt. Hes a verbal magician, with no plans for anything and no idea on how to do it...and a pacifist that is going to decrease our military in a time of war and render us defenseless. HES ANTI MILITARY...and thats who you want during a war?...FUCKING IDIOTS

#61 - 62...

Hey Hey,, Mike Mike,, press press the the comment comment button button only only once once... ...

I didn't entertain your attempt at intelligence because it was meaningless. When the presidents all meet in the afterlife and are asked to stand on the rungs of the ladder of presidents past, Dubya will be looking up at everyone's ass... Carter, the overrated Kennedy, Fillmore, Harrison, Van Buren... Dude, don't believe everything Rush tells you (especially that drugs are only ok if you doctor shop). The way you crackpots always try to chastise the world outside of your antiquated ideology for not taking ownership of their problems and conditions so ironically juxtaposes with your refusal to admit and take ownership for the problem you voted into office twice. And you better go to another Promise Keepers rally, son. Your slip is starting to show and if you keep offering me a blowjob, I just may have to American Me your ass... again.

How did this memorial post turn into some hate-filled political debate?
Angel obviously only spouted that sort of bullshit because he/she wanted to start a nasty discussion; why the fuck bother? It's people like that who will never be satisfied unless they ruin someone's day.


Now, for the REAL purpose of this post:
RIP George. I saw you live last October, and it was the greatest performance I'd ever seen from a comedian. It's sad to see you go. I miss you already. <3

#75 Agreed, Obama's a prattling tool with absolutely no idea of how he's going to implement these nebulous "changes" he's so jazzed about, he's done fuck-all in the Senate, but this ain't a politiical thread, so take it outside, OK?

got to see him perform a few months ago, and i haven't been this sad since barry white died. im guessing the people who didn't like him like to see their world in a soft "pussified" light devoid of real thought and are unable to see the true meaning in things. fuck ya! i wish more people were as brutally honest as he was.

It's so fuckin sad that people have to post on here that "oh he can rot in hell" and "atheist bastard" AMERICANS HAVE FREEDOM OF RELIGION IF U DONT FUCKING LIKE IT MOVE TO THE MIDEAST ASSHOLES. I'm sure most of u if u had access to an audience would sit there and talk shit on other peoples view's/opinions but u sure as fuck couldnt have done it as good as George Carlin. Pull the sticks outta your asses and learn to take a fucking joke.

R.I.P. George Carlin

@68

Why should I even bother?

That would be like me trying to teach physics to a toad

Dude, no one deserves hell, I don't care who you are or what you did, everyone should have the right to forgiveness. Some people don't want it, and that's sad. Only God knows where your heart is and no one has the right to judge anothers soul. But I can Say that he was an ugly Mother Fucking Cocksucker. Was he married? I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't. Anyways, I hope he made his peace with the Lord.
Kim K is a fat ass.

I found out he passed away last night. I'm sad to see him go. He was truly insightful on the human mind/condition, and he knew how to make us laugh about it. But the things the said are all mainly true. Some people might not have found his jokes funny but i hope they can at least see the meaning behind them.

"they call it the american dream because you have to be asleep to believe it."

stand up comedy
people no longer laughing
George Carlin is dead

Goddamn, Mother-fucker, pissin, shithead, cunt, fucking nice-tits, but a fartin,t urd-like twat!

God bless George, give em hell down there! and God bless the First amendment.

I like his narration from the Thomas the Tank Engine show on PBS.
No swearing at all

The angry old dude was tired, lame and comprehensible only to the angry left.
The old ones who realized they bought into a bunch of bullshit (even the real commies gave up in the Soviet bloc a long time ago.)

And the young ones who think the Obamanation's cry of "peace, land and bread" is fucking original.

The guy was hanging out with a known terrorist in Ayers and long before he makes it out to be. Like back when Ayers and his father had this stupid program in Chicago to take over the educational system based on some maoist takeover plan.

Obama can't keep from contradicting himself for shit without a pre-planned speech for his life.

And when he works without a script he sounds worse than the stuttering prick in Goodfellas.

http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/tony-rezko-and-obamas-shifting-positions-on-iraq/

Obama's new paradigm is sinking into the cesspit of the old Chicago corruption machine. And he's a child of both it and the radicals he has been "clinging" to for a long time.

Much longer than he has led anyone to believe. Yeah, the 20 year stint with Rev. Wright and the black liberation theology "church" is no accident.

And neither is the Nation of Islam radicals he's hired on his staff.


@81...Wow, you failed miserably trying to sound smart, once again. This is, Gobbledygook at best flamer. It always amazes me , as I posted earlier, when people get online and "try" to appear educated, yet dont even proofread or fix grammatical errors.

"The way you crackpots always try to chastise the world outside of your antiquated ideology for not taking ownership of their problems and conditions so ironically juxtaposes with your refusal to admit and take ownership for the problem you voted into office twice"

again...WOW!...and I thought fags cared about how they appeared to everyone else more than this.

You have made many fatal mistakes and I'll let you on to a few.

There is not a more un-religious person than me probably.
Rush is a lot more fair than I, and he would probably call me an extremist. Our views arent one in the same.
I accept & admit that I voted GWB into office and given the same circumstances, would do it again.
I am not 100% behind GWB, as I disagree with many of his views, immigration especially.
I assume you said (or would have said, if you were older than 22) the same thing about Ronald Reagans presidency. Its ok, we come to expect it.


I understand it...Youre just mad because its still not legal for you to be married, except in the future reparations state of Mexifornia (soon to be New Africa).

@82, thats what I thought BITCH. It's not in your genetics to be able to use your brain. But for humors sake, I ask again...What cruise ship were you on after Katrina?

#55 "Simon Says: Go Fuck Yourself"

Miss you already, George. And you didn't take your stuff with ya! :(

SWEET!

I had him in my Death Pool!

(George himself would be proud)

Saw the news this morning and was shocked and bummed out. RIP George Carlin.

#91 - That sentence is not only grammatically correct, but completely truthful as well. And you are too many commas and apostrophes away from being the Superficial site editor (oh shit! He started a sentence with "and"!). But thanks for playing the "let me call everyone a fag who isn't as fucking iditotic as me because I hated George Carlin" game. I bet you come second to last in everything, because you can't even win at being a loser. Sad really...

Okay you political geniuses time out.

1. George Bush is the worst president since Jimmy Carter - I was around when that idiot was elected too. He was more about human rights than anything else. Meanwhile, in his own country, food sky rocketed (and never went back down...even though peanuts stayed relatively cheap) - same with cars - (they jumped $6k in 4 yrs.) same with gasoline - same with housing - same with energy costs ... He established a national energy policy and removed price controls from domestic petroleum production. So how's that workin today Jimmy? Good Job Dude !! Quite the legacy you left for yourself. If you were not there, please don't try to discuss it with me. I felt the same impending doom then, I feel now. Because you can never go back, and anyone who thinks prices on ANYTHING will go back down, you're sadly disillusional.
2. The only reason Bush got reelected (that I could decipher) was because he had just started a war and nobody else REALLY wanted to try to follow in his footsteps. It was all about - "You Go Cowboy .... Hit em back !! " (I guess ...)
3. Obama says he has so many freaking new ideas. Quite frankly, he scares the shit out of me. I fail, myself, to see how he is going to implement all of his "changes." If the man can change the way they do business up there in the Whitehouse, more power to him. I just don't think it's possible. Our governmental hierarchy is to far caught up in what they've created to let one man bring it all down around them.
4. John McCain just plain {{creeps}} me out the way he always changes his tune to match the lyrics. 4 years ago, before he hopped onboard the
"pork-barrell-train," he got caught up in trying to change the way Washington did things too. He was running a campaign to rid Washington of special intrest groups ... too. Before "HE" started trading votes for votes ...... too.
You see - he was just new to the game and hadn't quite figured out Wash. yet.
Back in 04, for example, Wash. politics provided that In order for George to win he needed more votes. ~Enter Fla.~ He turned to his brother Jeb to "make it happen" .... In order for bro Jeb to give him Fla. Jeb had to agree to support a $150mil. bridge to go to an island clear up in Alaska, that has 50 residents. In exchange, he got Alaskas votes too. ( why else would the governor of Fla. vote for a bridge in AK ? ) See how special intrest lobbying works?
(this is all hypothetical mind you, to present a point)

So where does that leave the American people, whos vote really doesn't even count to begin with since the "popular vote" has nothing to do with who gets elected to the presidency.
The smart money would have been on Al Gore 8 years ago. Think about which direction our nation and others like us would be heading today instead of towards Afghanistan. We may not be worrying over impending global degeneration.
But as they say - "Hindsight is always 20/20 "

That is all .......... carry on

elliot spitzer, give it up. you got spanked and put in the corner, now stay there. you've have the most idiotic and unfunny post on this site as long as youve been posting. you are either dutch, or were raised by a flower pot.

@96 - you rendered yourself impotent and useless with the Al Gore comment. GAME OVER.

Fucking idiot - I don't play games

@91

Hahaha. Come up to South Philly and call me a bitch. I'm on 5th and Passyunk Ave. Let's see how much shit you talk then

the man was a comedic genius the likes of Richard Pryor -- I mean, WTF, how many people can actually say they shaped US law by having the UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT rule on their comedy act?!?

RIP George, you're the man.

@96
All your credability went to shit when you wrote in Al Gore.
But not all is lost, just write him in on this years ticket, it will probably mean more this time than it did last time.
Carbon credits - what a joke and sure road to more government that is overbloated already.
It is useless to complain when the system fails to benefit your cause when your only answer is "lets change it".
Like your 20/20 hindsight is bringing some sort of brilliant new ideas to the table.
This government has outlived its own life span...

Watch what people are cynical about, and one can often discover what they lack.

@91

Oh wait, I just got it, you think Im black right?
Nah, I'm a drunk Irish.
Come up and play, we're reeeeal nice to y'all rednecks!

One thing I notice with everyone posting on here is that they blame a president for everything. The president isnt the sole person in control of everything. The congress, house and senate have as much to do with everything as the president does. Thats one of the worst things about the current situation...congress isnt being held accountable and all you "internet political geniuses" use the president as a scape goat. SO what does that mean?...It means most of these flakey, numb nuts that helped us get in the positions we are in, will stay in office making them worse.

@96...prices have fluxuated up and down, so yes, some will go back down and probably in the near future, oil and gas being 2.

Circumstances out of our control have led us to where we are nationally and internationally, so I wouldnt say its fair or remotely convenient to compare this presidency to any other.

Al Gore?...hmm..you lost me there. That guy is as big a hypocrite as Barack Osama, if not worse.

@95...I didnt hate carlin, just didnt think anything he did after 1980 was funny.

@99...passyunk?..Is that the same place we called pussypunk when I lived in Philly in the 80s? Judging by ALL your previous comments, Id say so. Thanks for the invite, but I'll pass. Good to see a liberal that does think violence is the answer to some problems though. Checkmate, BITCH!

Will you faggots stop arguing about me and get back to weeping about a crusty old man's death?

It was always funny seeing an old, cranky, druggie, alcoholic, comedian, mocking others.

Can't a dead guy rest in peace?

Follow my 2 commandments (make that 3) and
SHUT THE F...... UP ALREADY!

Patton ?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA .....................
Credibility ? Your great-grandfather was an Huguenot 'immigrant '...(there's that damn word again - strike one) Which was a new religion. (albeit not Scientology - strike two)
BTW. How did that whole "Japan invading Mexico to get to Cal." thing work out for you ? Didn't you think they would have just invaded Cal. instead ?
Again Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard comes to mind. He attacked what he believed to be two enemy submarines, ten miles off the coast of Oregon. The "battle" took two days. There was never any evidence of a submarine and other Commanders didn't think a submarine was ever in the area
People who live in glass houses and all that. ........ strike 3

I guess you told "ME"

But back to what REALLY matters - a mans life ended lastnight, and all you can do is spew political rhetoric and chastise me.
Hmm ... your priorities are in the right place after all. It's good to see fascism lives

Long Live George Carlin in Memory

Gone is another person to be brutally honest in explaining the world. Here to stay is a bunch of pussy-ass Americans and Europeans trying to shield their pathetic little kids from the realities of the world by elongating names for diseases, putting pads on every goddamned thing in sight and structuring the children so much that kids don't even have time to plan their revenge on their fat-assed parents for fucking them up so much. At least George told it like it was and classified this country as what it is, a big fucking shopping mall with fat kids, fat parents and fat fucking SUVs to put stupid shit they will never need and will probably hate the minute they get home. So heres to you George. Maybe the rest of America and Europe will wake the fuck up before the fat fucks sink into the ocean.

George wouldn't want to be "blessed" by a God he didn't believe in, so I guess I'll have to raise a toast to his memory and hope he becomes good worm chow. So long, and thanks for calling it as you saw it.

#62, well said.

George Carlin will be missed. R.I.P.

Good job arguing on a not-actually-a-fourm but a comment page.

I never thought he was that funny. Russert made me sad.

Wait... why am I even commenting. You all suck. AND THIS BLOG IS GAY TOO! YOURE ALL GAY! ALLLLL GAAAAAAAY!

Re: Mike Oxfucker, Argh, it looks like the dickfucks from Freerepublic have started posting here. YOU people are the reason why other countries hate us and yes, George Carlin hated the tampax tools like yourself. Get the fuck out of here. You make me sick. YOU are the unAmerican ones. Why don't you go and form your own country somewhere, preferebly on another planet so you no longer have to pollute the earth with your rancid fecal matter. Your fat fucking asses are ruining everything that is good about the U.S. Nazi Germany is more appropriate for your type of thinking, if you call it that.

"And this just in in sports. A partial score....
6...

RIP George.

wow, you guys are a bunch of dickheads. the last thing george carlin would want is a bunch of douchebags arguing about some garbage politics in a comment board about his death. So George, you're the man and comedy is officially dead without you and Richard Pryor. Rest In Peace buddy. The rest of you, go suck a fat dick, bunch of faggots.

Bye-bye George. You were good to us.

for the people who said G.C. didnt make them laugh, id like to hear who does?

Who only pays 8% in taxes? Shit, I pay out 25%, work for the government, and am under the poverty line.

George is the best. I say "is" because his audio books will forever live on in my hard drive. <3 Hearing George spit social and political commentary at me is extremely soothing for my soul. I feel like he understood me. He must have been my grandfather.

Wherever he is now, I hope he is happy. Thanks George for the many years of laughs.

I would say rest in peace but if I know Carlin...he never does anything in peace. I love ya man.

@33 I totally agree.

RIP George.
No matter what anyone says; you lived, you laughed & you did it your way.

You & Gallagher; THOSE are REAL Comedians.

He'll be next; and it'll once again be a sad day. =(

Joe bless you Carlin. The world is now a much less funnier place. And we shall never forget the seven....and then some.
Shit piss fuck cunt cocksucker motherfucker fart turd and twat. Hope that your welcomed with an open bar with all the greats like pryor, martin, and hedberg

RIP George. You will be missed.

If somebody doesn't start monitoring these boards, this site will eventually disappear when frustrated readers are confronted with asinine trolling spammers like Mike O. This is an obit article and pontificating about your love for all things conservative and superstitious is not appropriate. Now that you've received the attention you so crave, you will probably not stop until somebody bans your IP address from posting.

Please, somebody needs to moderate these boards.

RIP George

A truly discouraging event in his career, I think George Carlin still looks great for his age even though he's dead. He will have a historic comeback as the made for television producers race to tell his story. I, for one, believe Carlin can overcome this setback and return to his position at the top, where he so rightly belongs.

Don't worry, George. We still believe in you. Keep fighting the good fight, old champ!

-Randal

Alright, little buddy. We didn't think it would happen so soon, but we've been waiting for you up here in Heaven. Everything is all cool now. Get yourself a nice drink. Have yourself a seat and relax while I REMIND YOU FOR ALL ETERNITY WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO HAVE ME KICKING YOUR ASS!!!!!

AAAAAAHHHH-AAAAAAHHHH-AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!

@124 - WELL PIN THE TAIL ON THE SISSY!... Jesus Ive never seen a more feminine, sissy ass cry baby post on this site. Good Job Girl! Boo Hoo Hoo

@124

Speaking of banning an IP address, where's Barely Stern been?? Booted?

This guy was beyond GREAT. Was of the best comedians of all time. He really knew what was going on in the world/government and wasn't afraid of talking about it publicly.

the world will not be the same without you, george carlin. rest in peace.

George Carlin was undoubtedly one of the best comedians of our century and his comic spirit will surely live on forever...

We miss you George!

I actually came across a really cool website doing a tribute on George--- you can listen to ten of his funniest comedy bits for free if you go to Lexy.com and click on the George Carlin tribute link. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I just heard Carlin's 10 Commandments riff on the lexy.com service mentioned above. Hysterical beyond belief. 7 words, airport security -- the man offered a much needed perspective on our world.

Indeed, RIP George.

Wow..I never imagined I'd see him die at that age. He always seemed to full of life. And logic, reason, honesty, humor and authority.

Rest in peace, trooper.

I think I speak for everyone, when I say
ahem
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
HOLY MOTHER OF FUCK NUGGETS
Some one call in my Royal Necromancer, ON THE FLY DAMNIT.
But in all seriousness,
I agree.
Alot less funny,
and alot less brutally honest.

You we're one of the greats. You changed the world more then you fucking know. Rest in peace George.
