Robin Williams - NO! A rabid nasty liberal with a mouth you wouldn’t believe when talking about Republicans.

One thing about most of them is that they could be funny without all the obscene trash talking.

So many of the clowns today got there by saying classless things that were over the top for shock value. They’re not really funny if you take out the f-word and all the filth.

A 6th grade kid can say the f-word and can talk a lot of filth. It really doesn’t require much talent. Same could be said for a lot of the movies being produced today.

The last decade or so of Carlin’s career isn’t missed.
