The only time I've seen her was on the celebrity apprentice. She seemed like an annoying person. No tears here.

Meh.. 1 less nut job republican

Dude, she was extremely liberal democrat. Joan freely admitted this on her "In Bed with Joan" Youtube channel. Yet she was also smart enough to agree to disagree as an equal opportunity offender. Your comment proves just how little these labels (politics in general) really mean.

I really thought she'd pull thru.
I was worried when they took her out of ICU it wasn't because she was getting better.
It was to let her family and friends have their final goodbye.
I suspect as with Michael Jackson, some doctor screwed up big time once again.
Probably the anesthesiologist.

I saw her live a couple months ago... thought she was funny as hell, although the 2 drink minimum at the club probably helped.

I'll miss her.

I don't think she gets enough credit as a comedian, or at least her stand-up bits. She was a pioneer for women in comedy, and really pushed the boundaries - took shit from no one and if you heckled her, watch out. HBO did a documentary about her, and it really went to show her relentless work ethic and how much she loved what she did.

I think this is a good way to die. 81, unexpected and quick plus lawsuit windfall for her daughter.

for some odd reason i knew she wasn't coming through, although i did hope she did.

no one can cheat their ultimate end. although we can fool it a bit

This site says shes a republican?

http://www.hollywoodrepublican.net/who-is-a-republican/

From her wiki page

"In 2002, Rivers told the Montreal Mirror that she was a Republican.[59] However, on a 2013 episode of Celebrity Wife Swap, Rivers stated that she was a Democrat. Then, on January 28, 2014, during a conversation with Reza Farahan, she announced that she was in fact a Republican."

Maybe she was multi personality?

Who gives a shit?

She was funny as hell.

Thats subjective.. I didn't find her funny.. she just came off as a bitch. She was on trumps show at least.

However she was obviously a smart and strong woman to get to where she got in life. Her daughter however...

1. You do know that not all Republicans are bible thumping, anti-gay, bigots. Libertarians tend to identify with the party's stance on free market and smaller government.

2. Who gives a shit what her politics were. She was one of the most influential comics of our time. She basically paved the way for women in standup.

Over 20 or 30 years ago she joked that someone finally combed Yoko Ono's hair and they found the Lindbergh baby. I thought it was funny but it ticked off a number of people back then.

Hmm... interesting. Perhaps.

I just watched my first episode of Joan and Melissa, Joan Knows Best. Seems as though Joan's daughter has been actively fighting these elective plastic surgeries based on her mom's age. The show is probably scripted, yet I bet there's some truth to it.

Eerie watching this episode now, as it mirrors everything to date except for Joan's unfortunate death. They even discuss the possibility of Joan dying while under anesthesia.
