FAMOUS TOUGH GUYS:

1. John Wayne
2. George Patton
3. G. Gordon Liddy
4. Jon Lovitz

Who'da thunk it?

[ConservaTexan]

I hope Lovitz’s wife, Morgan Fairchild, wasn’t hurt in the melee.

[ccmay]

Everything I have seen or read about Andy Dick tells me he had this coming to him.

[fortunecookie]

Andy does have a way of needling people and being generally obnoxious that is quite irritating. Jon is so mild mannered and loveable, I would love to hear what Andy said right before the bashing. Jon's kind of the last person you'd expect to hear was involved in such a fight. Andy's just not funny. Sad, but not funny.

Lovitz said, "All the comedians are glad I did it because this guy is an [edited]."

I think that applies to non-comedians as well. ;-)

[wardaddy]

Damn....Lovitz is my nomination for the Meyer Lansky Tough Jew award....

well done Jon....I never liked that Dick anyhow

[dfwgator]

I still laugh when I remember Lovitz’ impersonation of Dukakis.

[ReignOfError]

Andy Dick ... well, is.

Among the many forms of justice in this story is Dick getting knocked in the dirt by a tubby 50-year-old. Not a lot of way to walk away from that with any pride intact.

I’m not sure whether Tom Green is an Andy Dick wannabe or Andy Dick is a Tom Green wannabe, but either way I’d love to put them both on a tiny, remote island with Pauly Shore and then erase the island from the charts.

Comedians tend to be a pretty cohesive crowd — just watch a Friar’s Club roast, if you can handle the most extreme forms of foul language. The highest form of respect in that world is to say the nastiest things you can think of, and we’re talking about smart, creative people here.

Phil Hartman was the greatest comic actor in decades, and his death was a senseless tragedy especially for the people who knew and loved him, but for anyone who likes to laugh. Every comedian who’s worth a damn knows that. Anyone who doesn’t have any respect is someone real comedians wouldn’t p-— on if he were on fire.

[ReignOfError]

I mean, what earthly good is an SUV that never goes off-road?

Ditto. He was great at plying a twitchy dork (acting???), and he did the best pratfalls in the business. If tumors are to be believed, he could take the falls because he showed up for work anesthetized.

Since then he's been less than useless.

[agent_delta]

Words to live by.

[exile]

Who knew that Andy Dick would actually do something funny? Getting beat up by JOHN LOVITZ? Hee hee.

[GSWarrior]

[KC Burke]

[EveningStar]

Remember this?

[agent_delta]

I always thought he was gheyy.

[Sue Perkick]

He’s wheyy gheyy.

[Suzy Quzy]

Dennis Miller had Jon Lovitz on his radio show yesterday talking about this. Andy Dick acts demonic.

[ozzymandus]

Remember the video of the appropriately-named Dick harassing Keifer Sutherland? I was waiting for Jack bauer to show up, but he didn’t.

[agent_delta]

Are there “degrees” of ghey-ness?

Like “macho yet ghey” on one side and “Ross the Intern/Richard Simmons” on the other?

This could be an interesting summer project.

hmmm...

[ulm1]

I saw a comedian talking about Dick a while back. She said Dick isn’t a pedophile, he isn’t strong enough to hold a child down.

that would have been Lisa Lampanelli
