Robin Williams Already Had A Retort For Limbaugh


Pig man, Dominican sex traveler and Viagra enthusiast Oxycontin Rush Limbaugh yesterday on the recent death of Robin Williams:
“Robin Williams felt guilty that he was still alive while his three friends had died young, and much earlier than he had,” the conservative talker explained. “He could never get over the guilt that they died and he didn’t.
Well, that is a constant measurement that is made by political leftists in judging the country.”  (our emphasis)
Here's Robin Williams on the "Tonight Show" in 2006 when asked by Jay Leno to comment on Limbaugh's return from sex-trade mecca the Dominican Republic with a pig trough full of Viagra:
“First of all, it seems a little redundant for him to take Viagra... I mean, why do you need Viagra? It’s a hard thing when he’s a big prick already."
Robin Williams will be remembered and loved as a comic genius who brought laughter and joy into the lives of millions.  Limbaugh has always been and will always be a big prick.  Williams is redeemed by his works;  Limbaugh will be damned by his.  It's good to be reminded of that from time to time.

R.I.P. Robin Williams



Robin Williams died earlier today at the age of 63 of an apparent suicide at his home outside of San Francisco.  Winning the Academy Award for "Good Will Hunting," he amazed audiences with his brilliant improvisational skills, and his uniquely broad range of acting.  He seemed to be a man without enemies in the entertainment business, which is mourning him.  From his breakout role in TV's "Mork and Mindy" in the 1970s, Williams starred in such memorable films as "Good Morning Vietnam," "Dead Poets Society," "The Birdcage," and "Mrs. Doubtfire."  He had gone back to rehab for a recurrence of substance abuse problems in July, and was described as suffering from deep depression.  A very sad loss, in a very sad way.
