I saw him live in Vegas about 10 years ago. His first words upon taking the stage?
“Have you ever noticed that the people who are against abortion are people you wouldn’t want to f*** anyway?”
About a third of the audience immediately got up and walked out. Afterwards he said, “Okay now that that’s out of the way we can get down to business.”
I’ll never forget that, it was an amazing display of the power of language. The guy had big brass ones, that’s for sure.
