Bea Arthur RIP:

And then there's Maude...and Dorothy. Bea Arthur, perhaps the handsomest woman to ever walk the face of the Earth is dead at 86.

Seriously though -- no sorry, I can't be serious -- when Howard Stern made fun of her and she didn't play along I didn't think she had a genuine sense of humor. But after watching her at Pam Anderson's roast, I stand highly corrected.

She was brilliant. How I like to remember her.
