George was hilarious back in the 70's before he became angry at the world. But he was a great comedian in his early years.
.

I noticed him being bitter before that. But who knows. I've always read where comedians are the most UNhappy people.I always wondered if his later bitterness came from losing his wife in '97.
Or maybe he just naturally grew a bit more curmudgeonly--I myself am proof that this can happen after 50.
With Bo Diddly and Tim Russert lost to us so recently, and now Carlin, that makes 3, and I hope we will not lose any more American treasures for at least awhile.
