She’s Finally Crossed Through the Pearly Gates to Be With Her Fang

While you guys were all talking about Todd Akin, Mitt Romney murdered Phyllis Diller.

…”Onstage comes something that, by its own description, looks like a sackful of doorknobs. With hair dyed by Alcoa, pipe-cleaner limbs and knees just missing one another when the feet are wide apart, this is not Princess Volupine... It is Phyllis Diller, the poor man’s Auntie Mame, only successful female among the New Wave comedians and one of the few women funny and tough enough to belt out a ‘standup’ act of one-line gags.”

What a woman! We loved you much, Phyllis Diller.

   She was a smart, funny woman–I remember even as a kid being totally aware of what a riot she was. God rest her soul.

   It’s sad to see the greats go. RIP Ms. Diller.
