Bernie Mac: I don’t have words

August 9, 2008

I was really sad to learn that Bernie Mac passed away today- he was only 50 years old but a beloved comedian adored very much by the residents of his hometown- Chicago, IL. What I liked about Bernie Mac is that he looked like he’s never had a bad day in his life- do you recall any interview or tv appearance in which he was anything but joyful, humorous, and humble?

Like so many, he is gone too soon…only to watch carefully in peace from the white room upstairs. My regards and best wishes are extended to his family and friends, and to anyone enduring a difficult loss so sudden and unexpected.

A few of my favorite Bernie Mac one-liners:

From Ocean’s 11:
“Why don’t you just call it WHITEjack??!!”

From Charlie’s Angels Full Throttle:
“Who do ya think invented the McRib, Lucky Charms…Shamrock Shake?!”
(in attempting to pass himself off as Paddy O’Malley, an Irishman)
