Indeed.

"Hire the handicapped, but don't let them take your rectal temperature!"

I think it's simply a symptom of getting older and starting to look for things to feign offense at.  Or purposeful forgetfulness.

The guy's funny, but like everyone, is growing older.  He's the same person he was, only now that he's older, people look at him like he's suddenly become a "bitter old man".  He's simply tried to package more of what he did in order to make money, that's all, and that's what makes him less funny - marketing.

Yeah, and add to the fact that his "irreverant" humor, talking about untalkables is pretty passe in the current age.  The "7 words you can never say on television" are no longer sacred, jokes about poop and sex are pretty much the norm.....his "edge" is dull and his jokes haven't kept up.  Don't get me wrong, I still like Carlin....
