He was also an SSI scammer and generally a dishonest and extremely misogynistic person. People with disabilites can be horrible people as well.

Are a sick human.

(5,909 posts)He used to annoy me but then grew on me. RIP Eric.
I'm sure Howard, Gary, Jimmy Kimmel, more celebs and the rest of the Stern show will step up and contribute to his service and donate to charities with people that suffer similar disabilities.

(81,871 posts)He significantly outlived the doctors estimates. That was always the scary thing about his condition.

(16,399 posts)I mean, seriously, you have to work to get people to hate you when you are in that condition. But my god, he was such an arrogant entitled little prick. He was no Hank or Beetle.
Always loved when Artie would just shred him. "Bye buddy, thanks for calling....go fuck yourself....."

(5,909 posts)I miss him.
ETA: That was the name she went by, not mocking people with mental issues.

Then he'd take her to the Yankees store.
Of course, she said far worse to Robin.
Loved Artie. He came to Newport recently for a show, but I couldn't make it.
I haven't listened to Howard in ages, but I'll tune in today.

No more and no less than you desire to. Common sense illustrates that concept as implicit...
Oh... I see. My bad.

(16,399 posts)He often says Clinton was the best President we ever had and was very anti-Bush....supported Hilary in 2008, obviously supports Obama now. Funny enough, he's lost a lot of his right-wing fans over it. He's even changed his stance on the DP.

(6,252 posts)Most of today's show was dedicated to him. Jimmy Kimmel sounded genuinely sad.
Eric had more self esteem than most in spite of his condition.
Nice to see there are other Stern fans here on DU.
