FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover was so thin-skinned about the bureau that he personally responded when comedian George Carlin poked fun at the FBI on TV, according to documents obtained by Newsmax under the Freedom of Information Act.
Carlin, best known for the Seven Dirty Words routine that figured in a 1978 Supreme Court obscenity case, died in June 2008 after a career featuring routines so virulently anti-establishment that Hoover would have been appalled.
