    So I'm guessing nobody's going to remember that she said that Palestinians should all die like a month ago.

      So you expect your entertainers to have a Middle East Peace Strategy that meets your approval?

      If a celebrity like Joan Rivers had said "The Jews deserve to die" a month before her death, do you honestly think there's any chance that wouldn't be in her obituary? That it wouldn't be found in the very first paragraph?

    She died as she lived... having surgery.

      Somehow I thought she'd pull through. Poor Joan. I guess it's not a shock that she passed away during some sort of surgery.

    Her recent shitty comments about Gaza aside (we'll chalk that up to old person crazy), she really was a national treasure, a real card. And, after the passing of Elaine Stritch in July, the last of the salty broads.

      The last salty broad is Betty White. Still with us and will likely outlive us all.

      RIP Joan. Old school bawdy, and half-heartedly offensive only 5% of the time. Not so bad.

      You're correct. There does remain one last salty broad

    I clicked and refreshed the front page. My heart stopped for a second. I hope her family copes well with her passing.

      Were you hoping refreshing the page would bring her back to life somehow?

      Oh, wait. You are the Finger of God, after all.

      Carry on, Lawd! Lawdie, carry on!

      Bow to me puny human!

      (seriously, this happens to me a lot. I am reading some sweet puppy or kitty story and then I hit the refresh button and some absolute fucking shit story is front and center. The smile drains from my face faster than the blood that drains from one of Dexter Morgan's "victims".)

      She leaves behind an 18 year old nose, who will host E's red carpet coverage of the 2015 Golden Globes.

    "I blame my mother for my poor sex life. All she told me was 'the man goes on top and the woman underneath.' For three years my husband and I slept in bunk beds."

    She was definitely one of the great tragicomics. R.I.P.

      I hope they cryogenically freeze her until they can figure out how to turn her into Cassandra O'Brien from Doctor Who. I'd totally go watch her skin do stand-up.

        Does Gawker's stylebook inexplicably require "vocal chords" instead of vocal cords? That is like the eighth time I've seen that particular error on this site.
