December 7, 2004 -- GEORGE Carlin ended his relationship with the MGM Grand in Las Vegas with a devastating diss the other night.
The caustic comic finished his four-year run with a dark set that included riffs on suicides and beheadings, and made it clear that he couldn't wait to get out of "this [bleeping] hotel" and Sin City.

Being a comic, and having the reputation of "dissing" every place he ever worked, this should be taken with a grain of salt.

" When a woman yelled something that sounded like "stop degrading us," Carlin fired back, "Thank you very much, whatever that was. I hope it was positive; if not, well, [bleep] me," using slang for oral sex.Ahhhhhhh. Those traditional, down home blue state "values" on proud display, once again... < /sarcasm>

Carlin used to be funny. Now, he's just another ultra-liberal comic has-been.
Maybe I grew up and he didn't. Anyway, something changed since the glory days of AM & FM and Class Clown. He must be the one who changed because I still think those old albums are hilarious.

Carlin thinks he's a good bit smarter than the rest of us.

He's not all that liberal. His books are filled with Anti-PC rants that would make some liberals' heads spin.

It'll be a short hiatus, however: He's jumping to the Stardust in February after a falling out with the MGM Grand.

Carlin was funnier when he was strung out on drugs.

Yup. His anti-PC stuff is truly great. He's an equal-opportunity offender, always has been.

Not smart. Where do you go after Vegas? Also, I wish the HBO Comedy Channel would quit showing his lame specials. He might have been cutting edge in previous decades, but now he's just old.

Carlin told the crowd of 700 that he was looking forward to going back east "where the real people are." He added, "People who go to Las Vegas, you've got to question their [bleeping] intellect . . . Traveling hundreds and thousands of miles to essentially give your money to a large corporation is kind of [bleeping] moronic. That's what I'm always getting here is these kind of [bleeping] people with very limited intellects."
Wow... What a wonderful example of "real people" from "back east." I'm sure the patrons of Las Vegas are all distraught over how much lowlier scum they are than this fine, upstanding example of human dignity. I know I wish I had half the intellect of George Carlin.

Carlin hasn't been funny since his heart attack (1981?).
It's a shame. I saw him right after in Atlantic City. He read his routine of 4X5 cards and half of the audience stood up and walked out when he started a long, graphic, very unfunny dissertation of picking one's nose.

Carlin used to be funny.I think it was 1970-ish that he made his last funny comment.
