Legendary comic George Carlin died of heart failure yesterday in Santa Monica.
George had a history of heart problems. He checked into the hospital yesterday
after complaining about chest pains.
Shit! Piss! Fuck! Cunt! Cocksucker! Motherfucker! Tits!
Sad! George Carlin was "especially noted for his political and black humor and
his observations on language, psychology, and religion along with many taboo
subjects. Carlin and his "Seven Dirty Words" comedy routine were central to the
1978 U.S. Supreme Court case F.C.C. v. Pacifica Foundation, in which a narrow 5-4
decision by the justices affirmed the government's right to regulate Carlin's act on
the public airwaves. He placed second on the Comedy Central's list of the 10 greatest
stand-up comedians, ahead of Lenny Bruce and behind Richard Pryor. He was a
frequent performer and guest host on The Tonight Show during the three-decade
Johnny Carson era, and was the first person to host Saturday Night Live."He is survived by his second wife Sally Wade and his daughter Kelly Carlin.RIP George!
