Lewis Black is on a rampage for what Rush Limbaugh is saying about Robin's suicide.
"“He had it all, but he had nothing,” Limbaugh said about Williams on Tuesday. “He made everybody else laugh but was miserable inside. I mean, it fits a certain picture, or a certain image that the left has.”
While the political part of it may or may not have it's part in Williams' suicide, Limbaugh is right that a lot of these people have it all but have nothing, but that's common knowledge with Hollywood anyway regardless of who said it.
One big thing is that they're never really allowed to think for themselves morally or politically because it might endanger their careers if they were to go outside the box to show their true feelings on a certain subject or issue.
They always have to be there for someone at someplace and the stress of giving to others without saving some for themselves catches up and the next thing you know they're front page news. And so it goes, another great star falls from the sky...

He doesn't even deserve to mention Robin Williams in any of his putrid, vomit-inducing speeches.

Remembering his line from Dead Poet's Society, I think"Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem".
I really hope it wasn't suicide at least.
Unless you have Parkinson's, Cancer or some other terminal illness or unless you can't take the pain your life has been, or you want to protect others from you or something you continued life will bring on them, or you have a cause you believe in more than life like protecting your family friends. You know narratives can be simplistic in films.

Rush Limbaugh is a holier than thou drug addict who used the death of a very well known and generally well spoken of man to do what he loves the most, ie bash the Left. Williams killed himself because he suffered from a mental disorder; using this as a springboard to sling your own agenda makes one a piece of shit; which Rush Limbaugh is, a soggy fat turd.
"A lot of these people have it all but have nothing", I assume you mean entertainers? Seems like a blanket claim. Proof of this claim?
That's not all in all true. There are many comedians who take the non PC path in their effort to comedy; in fact, taking the non PC path is how they earn a living. eg George Carlin, Doug Stanhope, Bill Hicks, Lewis Black, Richard Pryor.
That seems like another blanket claim. By accounts Williams killed himself due to a mental disorder; unless you have some special insight into the workings of Williams mindset, not sure you can make such an exact claim.
This is prolly the main factor in his decision.
