Thanks Fish and how horrible is it to have someone make that threat. Agreed, the only reason he is being mourned is he is a liberal.

When it comes to show biz, I have the ability to divorce my own politics when it comes to assessing/enjoying actors and actresses, musicians and creative writers.

But leftie stand-up comics generally leave me flat—so I assume the politics is influencing me.

So, while I still greatly admire work done by flaming lefties like Alec Baldwin (Hunt for Red October), Linda Ronstadt (just about all of it but especially the stuff with Nelson Riddle), and Paddy Chayefski (Network, The Hospital), the best I can say about a guy like Williams is that I appreciate how much many people (rodguy included) liked him and saw him as a “genius” — but that I’d be inclined to side with bray in the end. The butt of his joke was inevitably America and, to me, that ain’t funny.
