I'm so often the grinch around here! Maybe early in her career she was funny but the last few decades I saw no humor at all in her routines. Only cruelty. I never liked Don Rickles either, and she was the female Don Rickles. Joan Rivers spent years and years and years trashing Elizabeth Taylor for being fat, for instance. The jokes were not warm, subtle, intelligent -- they were the sort of mean you hear from 7th grade girls.
About a month ago, holding an oyster, she cracks, "It's like Betty White's vagina." Is that funny? Why? Sad need for attention, no matter how it's earned or what kind it is.
No, she never said anything I was thinking. I'm sad for the people who love her & I give her credit for being a trouper through some of life's bumps (others she created herself), but she could have held herself to higher standards despite her insecurity.

I admired that about her.
