Yeah, the poor guy had to have help for his back, too!

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.
Yeah, the poor guy had to have help for his back, too!
Peaked early, and low...
"He has attacked Bush constantly, then saw it fit jump on Limbaugh for Viagra- which was prescribed after a surgery."
The Viagra was prescribed after surgery?
I almost hate to ask, but what pray tell would a post surgical erection be good for?
Holding the IV Bag?
...was Williams drunk at the time?
2) RW is a lefist moron.
Well, Williams is fully qualified to comment on the drug use of others. He has done significant drug research, himself.
Factoring out whether I like/dislike his political comments, he just hasn't been funny for a very long time.
Robin Williams lecturing people on drug use is like Jeffery Dahmer criticizing cannibals.
No doubt.

Robin Williams checked into alcohol rehab unit today
I don't laugh much at Robin William's humor ... But circa 1987 he was on Johnny Carson, bouncing all over the set and obviously coked up. That was funny!
Lefty "comedians" can't create too many funny lines.
Liberals don't get funny jokes, either.
Their depressing lives suck, and so do they.

Here we go again...a celebrity says something we don't like and all of a sudden he's a talentless hack. Robin Williams is one of the most talented performers alive. He is brilliant comedian and an excellent dramatic actor. His understated performance in AWAKENINGS was extraordinary.
Surprise...surprise...he has an addiction problem. Seems half the people who post here do as well (myself included). Jokes about Rush were inevitable...Just like what Mel Gibson is going through. I wish Mr. Williams well. Maybe Rush should send him a note.
"Just like George Carlin"
"F**k the children!" Sometimes Carlin is really funny and sometimes he's not, just like Robin Williams, though if I had to choose one it would be GC.
Lynch Robin Williams?
My opinion of this guy was formed long before he said anything about Rush, and before Rush's difficulties were news. If you like him, that's fine.
I hope Robin Williams finds what he's looking for and needing.
I thought the whole "viagra" thing was a grand hoot. From the get-go. And to watch how many sirens came flying out from the neverworld to screech over it. It just made me howl with laughter. It'd be perfectly in Rush's character to pull something like this. I remember his stories from his childhood... the water balloons.. for one.
Williams was born in Chicago and moved to Michigan at an early age. Is that where you are talking about?
Keep you from rolling out of the hospital bed.
