Deadmau5 calls Playboy Model Tricia Evans "piece of shit" for insensitive Colorado shooting "Joke"

16. I heard it as "Poor Vaugh Meader". . .

which seems to better fit Lenny's style.

Lenny also castigated the press in the weeks after the assassination for playing up how Mrs. Kennedy had reached back to help the Secret Service agent get on the car, when the reality as Lenny saw it was that the agent had climbed up in order to push her back into the car because she was "hauling ass to save her ass."

"What point of reference does she have for her behavior?" Lenny asked. (And I'm paraphrasing here, as I don't want to dig through the books to find the recorded quotes.)

"But what's her point of reference?" he asked. "'Oh yes, I heard the gunfire and I reached back to help the Agent onto the car.' And that's bullshit! She hauled ass to save her own ass, same as anyone would do. But that's not the way the press presented it. No, they painted her as the good good Mrs Kennedy who wanted only to help and who stayed in the face of such horror. And the truth is, people don't stay. But the press presented the fiction that she did, so now, if your daughter's husband gets killed and she hauls ass to save her ass, she'll be made to feel shitty and low because she didn't stay like that good good Mrs Kennedy. And fuck it, man! The people don't stay!"

For this comment, he was arrested in Chicago. Oh, they made it out it was for obscenity and being a 'sick comic,' but Lenny knew better. He'd told the truth, and as those who do so in America learn all too soon, the truth is rarely valued here.

This was why he knew he wasn't a comedian. And as he would tragically admit in the year before his death, he wasn't always funny because he wasn't a comedian. He was just Lenny Bruce.
