One of the funniest, if not the funniest, people of our time has gone.

He had my eternal gratitude for co-writing Blazing Saddles.  But he did so much more, from his standup, to his work on SNL, to his great buddy movies with Gene Wilder.

I hope you're getting some pussy in heaven, Richard.

It's weird, because I saw him on TV the other night and he looked horrible.  I thought that it was amazing he was still alive.  Rest in peace.

Words can not express how fearless he was.

At least he was appreciated in the second chance he got at life.

Fucker set himself on fire while freebasing cocaine, AND WORKED IT INTO HIS COMEDY ACT.

Now THAT'S genius right there.

He co-wrote blazing saddles? Damn I never knew that.

I'm smokin' rocks out of a lightbulb for him right now.

Not really, but he was a charlatan and a hero, and neither side would've been as good without the other.

So it's satire, is it?  Well that changes everything!

"When I was in Africa, this voice came to me and said, "Richard, what do you see?" I said, I see all types of people." The voice said, "But do you see any niggers?" I said, "No." It said, "Do you know why? 'Cause there aren't any."

He's been missed for a lot longer than a week now.  Rest in Peace, my man.  Anyone remember his last movie?
