George Carlin documentary on HBO. [View all]
Watched last night. It's an excellent, yet painful telling of his life's story.

His brother Patrick was featured in the doc. He died last month.

I saw Carlin in person just one time in 1999. He was an equal opportunity insulter. And he laid into the left for actually trying to do what he complained wasnt being done. Especially over the Environment. Too bad he didn't live to see Obama elected. In my mind had he died 1/21/09, he'd have been more at peace.
