He could be a very funny guy, when the double entendres weren't flying like confetti... The Lord gave him a very long life, considering his lifelong infirmities. I hope he was converted...

I was eight when it came on. The funniest thing I ever saw. Remember Sammy Davis Jr. doing his here comes the judge? Use to crack me up all the time. That show made a lot of people laugh during one of the worst periods our nations history.

Off topic but that is a memorable quote. I will try to remember that one. Thanks Tom (and Mr. Rutherford.)

Nixon made an idiot of himself every time he tried to look like "a regular guy." He was anything but that. I recall the fanfare around his doing "Laugh-In:" should he? Or shouldn't he? And then he did it. The whole episode gave new meaning to the word "lame" in the social or "public persona" (not physical) sense...

Or was the meaning of the word "lame" in that sense actually born when Nixon said "Sock it to me" on "Laugh-In?" It may well have been. The "non-crook" who appointed Harry Blackmun to the Supreme Court in 1970... wasn't funny.

Whatever.

Dick Martin outlived a lot of people... The one I'm watching now is Patrick Swayze, because he's about my age... Hope he makes it, despite the odds.

I was watching Laugh-In that fateful night and, yes, it was lame. I recall someone saying that Nixon wore a tie to breakfast. Weird man.

Are you kidding? Tricky Dick wore a suit and tie to the beach!

I thought it was interesting that Rowan and Martin worked together as a team for exactly a quarter of a century (1952-1977). They parted amicably, unlike, say, Martin and Lewis.
