I was going to post some of his quotes here but I don't want to sully this site with his obscene hatred. Nor do I want to contribute to his "legacy."
Stern lectures for the logically-challenged. Others have opinions, I have convictions.

I thought I smelled something burning. . . .
Ironic that he went to a place called "St. John's" to try to save his life.
The guy had a lot of comic talent, though. Too bad he wasted so much of it by mixing it with moronic politics and obscentity.
He really was a brilliant observer and commentator of the human condition... A great philosopher.
But hopelessly lost and confused, and thoroughly convinced of his own enlightenment.
A man with a marvelous talent for cutting to center of issues and picking the wrong conclusions.
Very sad.
Isn't that what liberalism is all about -- choosing the wrong conclusions?
Very sad. He's a believer now.
