More information about George Carlin from Wikipedia-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Carlin

He was not one of my favorite comedians but do agree that he will be missed especially with respect to what he might have said if John McCain gets the White House starting this January of 2009. He might have had more trouble with his material if Barrack Obama becomes President in 2009 especially if he has Hillary Clinton as his running mate.
