I thought he was dead!

I hate to confess it, since it demonstrates my advancing years, but I remember a comedian named "Professor Irwin Corey." He would do his occasionally amusing nonsense act on TV variety and late night shows. If I had thought about him recently, I would have figured he had gone to the great nightclub in the sky. But I would have been wrong - he's still alive and endorsing Kuku:
"It is the best of times and the worst of times" best, because we have a man like Dennis Kucinich representing us in the quest for the White House, and worst, because we have a criminal like George Bush IN the White House, who must, if we are to survive, be REMOVED. The last time I voted in a presidential election was when Earl Browder ran against Norman Thomas.
...
I am a comedian, but this is NOT funny!! Vote for Dennis!!!"
Yadda, yadda. The prof is syntax challenged, but I like the Browder (Communist Party USA) versus Thomas (Socialist Party) touch. And based on his picture, I wasn't wrong - he is dead - although no apparent relation of Rachel Corey who is real dead.

Sorry Kuku, I liked Grandfather Twilight better.
