Politically they were indistinguishable. Ultimately both are/were entertainment industry nitwits and partisan shills. Good riddance.

Well Carl, you're dead so you can still vote democrat.

Carl Reiner, 96, says he wants to live until 2020 to vote Trump out of office (2018 FR thread)

It’s a shame he didn’t take his spawn with him.

In this thread...

A bunch of “Christians” with absolutely no sense of kindness, decorum or comedic taste.

You should all be ashamed of yourself.

This guy was just another human, a father, and a person. He was also one of the best comedic minds in the last century.

He cannot hurt you any more.

Outside of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”, I mainly remember him for his small role in Mel Brook’ “Silent Movie”.

Dick Van Dyke trivia, the character “Buddy Surell” [sp?] played by Morey Amsterdam was supposed to be based on the real-life Mel Brooks, who would say whatever occurred to him no matter how inappropriate.

I refuse to be kind to people who support the party that is always reaching inside my pocketbook. Reiner was a democrat wasn’t he?

I remember him mostly for the comedic masterpiece “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid.” Dang that was funny.

How do you know the posters are Christians? You're assuming facts not in evidence.

Because they preach at me all the time.

OK, then they are souless fools who cannot see past the political angle on anything. And yes, I am assuming they have no souls...because it makes them seem worse in my mind.

He should have been more specific. Not that he had one bit of control over it. And who sez he hasn't already cast his vote?
