1. Classic. God bless him.

Imagine - an American president using the sexual slang of a thirteen year old to describe his foreign policy.

10. Disappointed he didn't go after Bush II harder.

I guess "age" was catching up with him, but in his last HBO concert, he didn't go after Bush or the War in Iraq particularly hard. I had always hoped he would and would loved to know what what he thought, but with his death, we may never know.

I wonder if he was working on another routine when he passed that might be written down somewhere?

2. Out of all the Carlin clips posted, this one nails the dark heart of it. Easy to see why....

...it sank like a stone.

6. ornery old curmugeon, isn't he?

George Carlin is often funny, but he's dead wrong in this skit. You can tell when he doesn't believe his own material when he starts shouting "fuck" to cover up his lamer ideas. His environmentalist skit must have set a record for the number of "fuck"s in ten minutes.

7. Wishful thinking on your part, apparently - he has several other similar screeds, on film, in print
