RIP Mr. Entertainment

Damn, even Bob Hope has to die sometime. Still, making it to 100 ain't too shabby. I know a lot of people my age have never really seen much Bob Hope, but if you go back and watch some of his early TV specials or USO shows, the man damn near invented the style of comedy that we all appreciate so much today. Quick, sardonic, self effacing, witty, Hope was all of these things, and his performances for our troops during wartime make him a real patriot.

And, being who I am, I have to put up a picture of him with Nixon, because that's funny.
