I hope you didn't really mean to say it that way. I can think of a lot of people who aren't particularly famous or influential, or who are in fact grossly unsung, that I would consider equally irreplaceable. But I do agree that George was a genuine article and will be sorely missed.

Everyone else is replaceable and has nothing to say.

I meant it in the sense of people who have exposure and are not afraid of repercussions by the establishment. There are people in comedy now who think they're provocative, but they're just idiots. Bill Mahr comes immediately to mind. Carlin was genuinely funny, sincere, and, to a degree, dangerous.

On the journalism side, Bill Moyers is someone who will sadly be missed when his time comes. I can't think of many others in the spotlight worth listening to. Charlie Rose knows on which side his bread is buttered.

There are many, many others worth listening to, but they don't have the mic at their disposal. Bill Moyers and Tony Brown have many of these people on their talk shows.

Not to hijack this thread, but don't forget Tim Russert, too- fair, balanced, honest- a straight shooter also

What's the old song... "Only the good die young"...?

No one mentioned the Hippy Dippy Weatherman!....What a funny skit. I didn't agree with anything he ever said; but I sure did laugh at his humor.
