Bust out those seven words, it's time for a tribute. Legendary comedian George Carlin has died.
The 71-year-old Carlin died around 6:00 PM PT this evening at an L.A. hospital after being admitted earlier in the afternoon for chest pains.
A battle over his comedy -- namely his "Filthy Words" routine -- went all the way to the Supreme Court.

6. I am really sad to hear this. He gave my family and I many great jokes and laughs. The last time I saw him he had the border control issue worked out. Oh crap, this is sad!!

14. One of my best memories of him doing standup is when he talked about all the "Stuff" people have. And the car windows that you have to roll down manually. Sigh. He will really be missed. Bye bye George. It's the end of an era.
