I don't recall him being a rabid leftist...just a funny filmmaker.
To: SoFloFreeper
Ya. He never seemed to make his political views know. Exactly what I want.
Really good director.

Caddyshack! Simply genius. One of the funniest movies ever... and still wears well even today. It’s also one of those movies you can watch over and over again without it getting old.

Stripes...Loved the scene were he teaches English to the class that could not speak a word of it
He was a fabulously talented funny man...God Bless him

A wonderful contributor to American Comedy. Humble, confident and funny.
Head writer for SCTV and started with National Lampoon.
This was funny stuff, satire, drawing on current events, pop culture and history. To appreciate it took some knowledge of events.
It was fall out of the chair funny, and is still my bar for anyone’s sense of humor.

He was one of the best comedy screenwriters of all time. Great, funny, original ideas. Not the remake garbage that comes out of Hollywood these days. He will be missed. They should posthumously present him with a lifetime achievement Oscar.
