Too bad Carlin can't have Russert-style sendoff.
I wish we could make it happen.

1. We can quote and link to his commentary.
Edited on Mon Jun-23-08 01:02 AM by Eric J in MN
George Carlin - Religion is bullshit video.

When it comes to bullshit, big-time, major league bullshit, you have to stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims, religion. No contest. No contest. Religion. Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told. Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!

But He loves you.

2. I seem to recall that Mother Theresa died soon after Diana (the Princess.)
And I also recall that that rated a collective blink as the Diana media orgy began.
Sad, isn't it?
RIP George.

4. I suspect that Carlin...
...would have quite a commentary to make about his own funeral.

7. Um... I suspect Carlin was laughing his ass off at that spectacle...
a bit too hard, perhaps, which led to these chest pains just a couple of hours ago, and voila - here we all are.

RIP. Just when we needed him. Shit.

10. Russert's was for the hidey-hole pundits feeling actual remorse.
...like a mafia family sending too many flowers to an overpriced casket.

Carlin let it all out in brutal honesty.

Our pundit class only wishes they felt as clean as the dirty-mouthed man. They'll see no need to fawn.
