Someone grant sainthood to Cloris Leachman immediately

She's on Dancing with the Stars. In one 8-minute stretch, she foxtrots, gets two standing ovations, drapes her leg on the judges' table, spills out her cleavage, and calls one of the judges a "shit" on live national television. The woman is a goddamn national treasure.

is that so wrong? said...

Agreed. It only makes me appreciate her body of work even more.

When called upon to roast Bob Saget for Comedy Central (hosted by Uncle Jessie), she proudly stood before the audience and said, "I'm not here to roast Bob Saget, I'm here to fuck John Stamos."

And c'mon.... she's Nurse Diesel. No fruit cup? More bondage, less discipline? Finish your strudel? Amazing.

Cloris Leachman is so old, that one of her breasts says colored, and theb other whites only.

I think that was Greg Giraldo...

But Cloris had the best line during that roast: "I'm an Academy Award winner. For the love of God will someone punch me in the face so I can see some stars?"

Here's the whole magnificent performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmTiAflugSc
