Guest- Why do you continue to make things up? You write sentences without any facts to back them. I guess in the tarpaper shack where you are writing from it sounds pretty good, but to the rest of us in the real world it sounds as if you are the one with some severe problems.

Sounds like jealousy on your part if you are stretching to find fault with the man. Forbes Rich List?   So what is wrong with that?   The man built hospitals, theaters and did more philanthropic work than you will ever do - money or no money.

To use Dick Cavett as a barometer for what is funny is like using Colonel Sanders as an authority on gourmet cooking. Also, if you use anything that Arthur Marx wrote as the definitive source, you should look again. His track record and research skills are questionable to say the least. If you really read the comments you will find numerous compliments from other comedians including Woody Allen who basically gave Hope credit for his entire career.

You fault him for not writing his own stuff? I guess you have little respect for someone like Laurence Olivier since some guy name Shakespeare wrote his best material. Where is it written that a comedian has to write their own material? You would be surprised at how many comics have help.

Bob Hope was far from the funniest comedian and the majority of his films. He was not a saint. He does deserve respect and recognition for his work. Your snide comments do little to make a mark since you are too much of a coward to even use a name. I can point you to REAL comments that go against every comment you make. Do some real research before you post next time.
