Whether you loved her or hated her, it's hard to deny her intelligence and talent.

One more voice that wasn't afraid at all of being un-PC silenced forever, unfortunately.

"After Edgar killed himself, I went out to dinner with Melissa. I looked at the menu and said, 'If Daddy were here to see these prices, he'd kill himself all over again.' " - Joan Rivers on her husband's suicide

My mom and grandmother loved her. I had no idea she was in her 80s...thought she was in her 60. RIP...your style of humor will be missed.

And she was damned good. Funnier than Carson a lot of the time.

RIP.

A true comedy legend and ground breaker.  I took my mom to see her back in 2007.  Joan shocked the shit out me.  Funny and outrageous.  Right up there with Carlin and Pryor.  She's the only comedian that ever got me to watch a fashion show, and I only watched it to hear Joan.

Good bye Joan.  :'(

Imagine her and Betty White doing a show together...

Speaking of, Betty hopefully stays with us a while, but she's up in her 90s, isn't she? And still acting like she's 30. :)

The Westboro a-holes are at it again.  They are picketing Joan Rivers funeral, calling her a, "fag enabler in Hell."  I won't provide the link.  I didn't read it myself.  Just saw it was trending on Yahoo and that's what they were trending for.  What I don't get about people like those that make up the congregation of Westboro is, how do you profess to live a Godly life and yet, be so consumed by hate?

I must admit, I believe that Joan would be disappointed if they didn't picket her funeral. Yes, I believe that this would please her!

It's too bad she can't be there to cover them picketing her funeral. That would be hilarious.

...death by biopsy?  Looks like her own doctor performed a procedure at the out-patient clinic that only should have been done at a hospital.  I guess JR and Michael Jackson both learned the hard way that having their own personal doctors can be not-such-a-good-thing...  :(  RIP.
