Gilbert Gottfried Dies After 'Long Illness,' Age 67
Famous for his distinctive delivery, which he used to deliver often hilarious rants, Gottfried got his start on Saturday Night Live before appearing in Beveral Hills Cop 2, Problem Child and Disney's Aladdin. He was a favorite guest of Howard Stern's, and he notably delivered one of the greatest examples of the "The Astristrocrats" joke — a famously filthy running gag deployed by comedians through the years. His career in film and television spanned more than 40 years.

Damnit.
..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.

Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.

He had one of the classic sequences in game show history on the Hollywood Squares. And if you don't watch it, I'll say "YOU FOOL!!!"

I noticed that Bruce Vilanch was on that show. I wish he were still writing for the Academy Awards.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
