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.

I'll tell you what should irk all of us, not J. Edgar's homosexuality, and not his cross-dressing though I'm told he bought off the rack, but the fact that he'd been lured some time in the 1960's to a Manhattan hotel room by a stud that he found particularly alluring, and who was actually a plant sent there by the New York mob, who while Hoover and his catch of the day did the wild thing, filmed the entire episode from a camera hidden in the closet. And that that's the only reason why Mr. Hoover denied up to his dying day the existence of an organized crime syndicate in America.
