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>

[JennysCool]

Whatta Bad American.

[newgeezer]

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.

[artzboy]

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

[JennysCool]

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

[My2Cents]

Carlin was funnier when he was strung out on drugs.

[FormerACLUmember]

I lost all respect for this ungreatful leftist scum years ago.

[asgardshill]

Well whaddya know? George Carlin really IS a Bad American after all!

[Welsh Rabbit]

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.

[bmwcyle]

George is headed for history while still living.

[Beckwith]

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.

[Spok]

Translation: they wouldn't renew his contract.

[finnman69]

I love Carlin but he is getting crankier to the point where he's not funny.

[jpl]

I used to think that Carlin was the funniest guy I had ever seen, but when I see him on TV nowadays he strikes me as far more bitter and cynical than funny.

[KC_Conspirator]

I used to think Carlin was hilarious. Some of his comedy is quite funny. However, over the years I have come to the conclusion that much of his stuff is really not that funny; its just "edgyness" of shock and swear words. Thats not to say that swearing and shock can't be funny. Sam Kinison was one of the best ever.

[SlowBoat407]

Carlin has admitted in interviews as recently as this year that he is disgusted with most of what America stands for. He seems to be anti-everything and pro-nothing. I thought he was clever at times, but my revulsion for his open antagonism to this country has tainted the sound of his voice for me. He is a misanthropic wretch who has spit on the very culture that has made it possible for him to prosper.

[skeeter]

The Las Vegas Review-Journal's Norm Clarke reports that Carlin told the crowd of 700 that he was looking forward to going back east "where the real people are."

Moron. Everyone in Las Vegas is from somewhere else.

[bikepacker67]

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."

LOL... Drop another hit, Georgie.
