George Carlin has died of a heart attack.
While some of his material was extremely funny, his most famous bit, the "seven words you can never say on TV" coarsened American culture in a way that has proven detrimental to the American culture.
The latter period of his life saw him increasingly misanthropic and bitter; he turned political, alienating the conservative members of his audience with rants against Republican politicians and cultural leaders.
Good with words and analysis of them, clever with the English language. Pretty funny, especially if you shared his politics. I don't, so I found him depressing to watch at times.
