Wow - one of my all time favorite entertainers. His comedy and observations are timeless.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Comedian George Carlin, a counter-culture hero famed for his routines about drugs and dirty words, died of heart failure at a Los Angeles-area hospital on Sunday, a spokesman said. He was 71.

Carlin, who had a history of heart and drug-dependency problems, died at Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica about 6 p.m. PDT (9 p.m. EDT) after being admitted earlier in the afternoon for chest pains, spokesman Jeff Abraham told Reuters.

Carlin, who wrote several books and performed in many television comedy specials, is survived by his wife Sally Wade, and daughter Kelly Carlin McCall.

actually he didn't believe in that, so the icon goes to the worms and soil.

The Kennedy Center announced last week that Carlin would receive the Mark Twain Award for Humor.

[Felicia Katt]

Religion convinced the world that there's an invisible man in the sky who watches everything you do. And there's 10 things he doesn't want you to do or else you'll to to a burning place with a lake of fire until the end of eternity. But he loves you! ...And he needs money! He's all powerful, but he can't handle money!

George Carlin

I'd say rest in peace, but he never rested in life, so if there is an afterlife, he is giving them hell there too, humorously and posthumously

I hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but to my untrained eye, it would appear that some mysterious force is clearing out many of the voices that could make Americans engage in JUST enough of a critical thought process that the Republicans MIGHT just be prevented from stealing another election in November....

Unless of course they just said "Fuck it, we'll just set all the Diebold machines to 80% Republican, 10% Bob Barr and 10% Democrat."..and no one noticed....

George: Your willingness to say the things that needed to be said, and show that just because you grow older doesn't mean you have to go quietly into the night will be missed.

I was so looking forward to a Carlin HBO special right around the elections to shake shit up...I guess I'll have to hope that Chris Rock will pick up that baton given tonight's news.

[Anubis1079]

FUCK!!!! George was one of my favorite comedians of all time. His "Parental Advisory" CDs was IMHO his best. I'm am truly upset about this

[Fox]

Damn...

[Willie Escalade]

Shit! My day (night) was going pretty well...until I got this news. So sad...rest in peace you funny mutha fucka (and I'm being sincere). George was my second-favorite comedian (after Richard Pryor); both kept it real and told it like it was.

:cry:

[santiago316]

Damn that sucks :cry:

[GroobySteven]

Boooo - I'm gutted.

[Justawannabe]

Nothing I can say would cover it... damn.... just damn...

[flabbybody]

'7 words you can't say on television' is one of the classic comedy routines of all time. right up there with Who's on first?

he was one of a kind

[needsum]

Truly a loss to the entertainment world. He will be missed, even by those who he fucked with the most.

Rest in peace, you funny mutherfucker.

[BrendaQG]

Damm. He was so funny. My favorite routine of his.

[hwbs]

GEORGE CARLIN:
“The whole problem with this idea of obscenity and indecency, and all of these things - bad language and whatever - it’s all caused by one basic thing, and that is: religious superstition,” Carlin told the AP in a 2004 interview. “There’s an idea that the human body is somehow evil and bad and there are parts of it that are especially evil and bad, and we should be ashamed. Fear, guilt and shame are built into the attitude toward sex and the body. … It’s reflected in these prohibitions and these taboos that we have.”

[El Nino]

I saw the headline on Yahoo News at like 2 in the morning last night, and for a few seconds, I was shocked and felt like a member of my own family passed away. I am not kidding. I loved and respected George Carlin. I will truly miss that S.O.B....

One of my favorites lines of his, went like this:

"They call it the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it"!

What a wise man

[chefmike]

"Why do they lock gas station bathrooms?" he once mused. "Are they afraid someone will clean them?"

[Alyssa87]

he was definetly my favorite. period.

never got to see him live : (

[BeardedOne]

I've said this elsewhere:

I am sure that his last words were "Fuck this!!".

RIP, Bishop Glick.
