"..... this is the fate of all kinds of comedians look at Lenny Bruce."

CNN's Reliable Sources this AM. bitter much Tucker?

On August 3, 1966, Bruce was found dead in the bathroom of his Hollywood Hills home at 8825 Kings Road. The "official" photo, taken at the scene, showed
Bruce lying naked on the floor, a syringe and burned bottle cap nearby, along with various other narcotics paraphernalia. His official cause of death was acute
morphine poisoning caused by an accidental overdose.

1. The difference is...
... Bruce is still loved and respected years after his death, nobody cares if Tucker dies tomorrow, and certainly he will not be remembered for accomplishing anything.

3. And just what reasoning underlies this odd comparison?
Did Tucker even attempt to give his reasoning on this or was he just having a sick fantasy about Stewart?

21. You are being too nice.
Most likely a smaller bowtie will be wound tight around the base below the testicles. A non breakaway bowtie around his neck attached to a rope looping through a hook in the ceiling back to his hand. Maybe his wife walks in and catches him in the act.

Just saw an episode of Special Victims Unit on cable last week with that as the method of death.

7. Tucker
Is a "has been"! He lost his show, and when he came on during the elections he made an ass out of himself on most of his appearances. He was mad that he lost his show, and his attitude showed that. He is just trying to get any attention he can because he has not future, and if anyone ends up with an overdose it will be him!

He's completely irrelevant and this las test proves once again why.

25. that's a good point. it was after stewart slammed him on crossfire
that bowtie got the axe. and he has been bouncing around ever since then. there wouldn't be any alternative reason for carlson's bitterness, would there?

12. Poor Tucker will say anything to get Jon Stewart to say anything about him
He is so desperate to be noticed he will say anything. When a total has-been starts shaking his tiny fist at a star (especially a smart one) expect it to be ignored. Unless Mr. Stewart feels sorry for the little fella and gives him a slap for old times sake.

PeeWee has a much higher IQ though.

16. I dont think Stewart is a heroin addict
So therefore Stewart would not likely be found dead of an overdose on his bathroom floor.

That would be a fate much more likely for "entertainer",and current public face of the GOP, Rush Limbaugh.

31. I think Stewart should cover this
and his response should be "Wow, it only took you four years to think of that come back. Nice job."
