Don Rickles is dead

   News last week of te death of Don Rickles should hardly be surprising. The ninety  year old geriatric comedian as disappear from the face of the earth and probably half of the people who knew the name figured it was on a gravestone by now. Don Rickles is a comic legend for some reason as I watched this guy through the years and looked up again on YouTube to reaffirm my position that he is the most over-rated rotten individual in stand up. Don Rickles was a man who made fun of other people especially for looks but never once did he critique his appearance in a mirror. Don Rickles was snassy, rude, and an imbecile yet in America and Las Vegas this A type psycho personality is rewarded and revered.

Don Rickles was a joke but hardly funny and represented the ignorance of America that many would say has lead up to this day with another Don and the election of Trump. Don Rickles added nothing to the American culture except rude remarks and nasty opinions of people he didn't like and felt privileged to mock as TV host after TV host such as Johnny Carson and Merv Griffin bent over backwards to please this jerk who really never had anything constructive or good to say. Don Rickles is dead and he is not coming back and for many people and millenniums\ the name Don Rickles means nothing and they do not know how better society and television will be that this old clown is kaput and will not be smearing people and playing in any expensive clubs with a pathetic stand up routine ripping people.
