The Good Die Young
Posted on June 6, 2003 in Folly Watch Milestones Pointers
Everyone is celebrating Bob Hope’s 100th birthday. Except for one lone Orange County Weekly reporter and myself:
So Bob Hope lived to be 100, and that’s wrong.
Bob Hope is everything that was wrong with America in the 20th century—lucky, opportunistic, selfish, two-faced, sophomoric, shortsighted, undeservedly rich, intolerably smug.
Bob Hope is everything that’s wrong with the 21st century, too. He’s still here, isn’t he?
My word to Dave Wielenga: Only the Good Die Young.
