Per Fox News Alert:
George Carlin Entering Drug Rehab for Wine and Vicodin. This will be his first trip to rehab. He is 67 years old.
I don't believe them either.
BS.
There's no way this is only his first time in rehab.
Red Skelton immediately comes to mind. So does Danny Kaye. And how about Carol Burnett.America has produced some great clowns. I miss them.
...and Jesus. True religion hater.
I believe you're right. Carlin went sour when his wife got sick, and he became more of a withering doctrinaire atheist and socialist as well. It was sad to watch. I hope for his recovery--physical and spiritual--and that he can return to brilliance. Just think what it could mean for Our Side to have him saying things that even Dennis Miller can't say! That's the role I see him playing. Could happen; pray it does.
" F*** George Carlin and his drug problem."
We are not Democrats. Spewing hate is their custom, not ours.
Carlin is a harmless old has-been. Cut him some slack.
I wish him well and hope he comes up with some new material. His comedy has sucked since about 1970.
Well at least that's what he said during his interview on the Actor's Studio. He gave this discourse on how he gradually withdrew from 6-7 grams of coke a day and how he quit pot when he realized it taught him all the "values" he needed to move on. Guess it wouldn't work with Vicodin.
Tell it like it is, Pal.
I always used to do white wine with valium ... way back when I was young and foolish.
America produced some great clowns - we all miss them... and they didn't have to talk about sex, they didn't have to curse, they didn't have to degrade the President, etc. to be funny.
Better late than never.
"I always play it safe and go witht a rose (sorry, don't know how to get that accent on there)."
# $ 233 = rosé if you type ros & # 233 , but type it without the space following & and # and 233.
Sorry, should have been more clear.
Dumba$$...sould have read & # 233 = rosé if you type ros & # 233....
The funny thing about drug rehabs, is they keep you away from so much stuff....
I believe anything with a screw cap would be appropriate. Ripple, Night Train Express, Boone's Farm, etc.
That's a scary thought....I'd be dead without mine and the bookmarks too.
I agree. I think he used to be funny, but cannot understand why people pay all that money to see this moron. He is a not funny anymore !!
Thomas the Tanked Engine ping.
Bogus!
67??? I am going on a HUGE bender at 70... I hope to live to see it.
