Fair warning for those that are sensitive to vulgarity, for this post will need to use some to properly quote the individual involved. Comedian Robin Williams was on the "Tonight Show" Thursday, and used the occasion to make fun of Rush Limbaugh's recent Viagra incident. To be sensitive to those that might be offended, all obscene quotes will appear in the "Read More" section.
Now, to be fair, I am a huge Robin Williams fan, and believe him to be an equal opportunity offender. Even Rush, who has a fabulous sense of humor, likely would think this was funny (video link to follow).
With that in mind, host Jay Leno nicely set up Williams by asking for his opinion about the recent Viagra story concerning Limbaugh. Williams answered: "First of all, it seems a little redundant for him to take Viagra. You know, the fact that he takes it he gets taller. (audience laughter)"
Williams continued: "I mean, why do you need Viagra? It's a hard thing when he's a big prick already. (huge audience applause)"
Next, Williams moved on to more drug references: "Where was he staying in the Caribbean? Club Medicated?"
From there, the discussion moved into a homosexual theme after Leno mentioned that Rush was down there on an all boys vacation. Williams responded: "That's code. What do you need to take Viagra on an all boys vacation?"
Williams then suggested that Rush was in the Caribbean to go "fly-fishing" as he pretended to use his nether regions as a rod and reel.

He has attacked Bush constantly, then saw it fit jump on Limbaugh for Viagra- which was prescribed after a surgery.
Hey Robin, as you enter rehab and were devising schemes to buy small bottles of vodka for your jackets, Dubya is saving the world and will continue to do so. He's a better man than you, and I hope you come to the terms with the pathetic life you live.
I cannot express my pure hatred for the little Hollyweird Losers full of juiced-up ego. Just like George Carlin.

Pretty funny coming from a reformed (supposedly) drug addict.

Williams crested decades ago and has been on the descent ever since.

For those who know Robin Williams earlier history, him lampooning Rush or anyone as a pill-popper comes with a 2 1/2 lb sack of irony.

Robin Williams has always been an overrated smart-@$$. He's always either "cute and funny", without his beard, or "highbrow and funny" with it. All the while with a persona that says "aren't I adorable?"
My reply would be, "do you really want to know?"

He's lucky he didn't OD in about 1981 or so.

Every time he talks I hear Mork from Ork, and envision those stupid ass Mork suspenders.
For that I can never forgive him.
To: Vision
You know, the fact that he takes it he gets taller.Way to steal the funny line, dickwad.
If I recall correctly, that line was Jonah Goldberg's about Alan Dershowitz.

"After 20 years of sobriety, Robin Williams found himself drinking again and has decided to take proactive measures to deal with this for his own well-being and the well-being of his family. He asks that you respect his and his family's privacy during this time.
Yeah, but not Rush Limbaugh's. Robin Williams is a hypocrite and a complete wormy weasel.
To: Vision
He almost looks like Jonathan Winters in that picture.

Robin Williams is not funny and hasn't been for a long time. But he is petty and vindictive. This is the usual liberal hate speech thinly disguised as "humor". By that I mean it was intended to be funny, but that was secondary to the purpose of being ugly and hateful. Throw sh*t on someone and then say "oops, I only meant it as a joke".

Robin Williams must have, or thinks he has, (as they called it on a Saturday Night Live skit) a "teeny weenie peenie" because on the Oprah show, all he could talk about was "Mr. Happy" and brag about himself.
That's usually a sign of over-compensation by a person who has serious doubts about his manhood.
Too bad Dr. Phil wasn't there that day.
