Let me explain something you may not be aware of. Entertainers often say serious things that cannot be said in other mediums. If you don't understand that Carlin was doing political commentary, and appreciate his insights then you're a very dim individual indeed.

George did a TV show on the FOX network.

I love his stuff, but that doesn't blind me to the fact that he was primarily an entertainer.
