George Carlin enters Rehab

Comedian George Carlin Enters Rehab Program

"I'm going into rehab because I use too much wine and Vicodin," Carlin, 67,
...

The announcement came weeks after the veteran stand-up comic caused a stir at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas with a performance that questioned the intellect of people who visit the resort city.

According to media accounts of the incident, Carlin's bit about "moronic" Vegas tourists touched off a bitter, profane exchange with members of the audience, including one woman who shouted "Stop degrading us."

I guess, uh, shocking jocking days and routines are, like, maybe not in vogue??? Ya think? Good for that lady in the audience. Bravo! And, I do wish George Carlin every success in his rehab.
