2. Died of pancreatic cancer soon after Clinton was elected
the first time.

lame political jokes? Lame? The guy was a TOTAL genius, prophet, and his comedy routines were really more like extended sermons of truth phrased in hilarious ways.

4. Well...
I hope his other stuff was better than the clip, because the stuff in there was crap.

You know who I really miss for political comedy though?
Johnny Carson.
Can you imagine if Johnny Carson did just one night, guest hosting for Leno, what he would do to the REMF-In-Chief.

Bush would be so humiliated he'd probably shoot himself in the head.
And miss. :evilgrin:

7. Well, his stuff isn't crap
That sampling is most of his extreme stuff, certainly not an accurate idea of his work

6. Sorry fella, but I can say, as someone who saw Hicks live.
He was the absolute real deal. One of the five greatest comics of the twentieth century.

3. Brilliant
Simply fucking brilliant. It's a good thing Bill wasn't around to see where we ended up. His head might have just fucking exploded.

Miss ya and love ya Bill Hicks!

11. Does it let you adjust the effing brightness?
If so, I'll download that in a heartbeat. It would beat looking at an almost totally black display.

10. Thanks...
although I've heard plenty of Bill Hicks before, it's always nice to start out the day with truth wrapped in a frame of comedic genius.

RIP Bill Hicks
