I was thinking about one of my favorite movies - This is Spinal Tap - it was just genius.....Mr. Reiner was so talented and he truly cared. Those of us of a certain age remember his father, too. Very sad.

And was a likable and entertaining presence in whatever he did. An unbelievable and shocking loss.

I absolutely howled, loved it - it was different and so spot-on. To this day I watch it occasionally and it just amazes me how everyone in the movie just nails it

This is devastating news. The Reiners were such good people who did so much good.
Do not expect their good and great friend Stephanie Miller to do her show today. My
thoughts go out to their friends such as the Clintons and family members.

R.I.P. Meathead.



I want to go back to sleep and make this go away.

So many questions, starting with WHY?

This is horrible, if true. 😱 It's horrible if not true.

So talented, and they were such beacons of the progressive movement.
