How many times now has this happened to Bill Cosby? He was pretty angry about it the last time the rumor went around…

Just Thinking - Mark’s allowed to be human, which means he’s open to criticism as well as defense.

My late wife used to say that “A rumor will get around the world before the truth gets its shoes on.” Sadly, that’s true. And yes, anyone who lives in the public eye will be the target of stupid rumors, and so will their friends be. They really are hellish things. I give Mark a complete pass on this one, especially as it made his mind go to Anthony Burger. Imagine if it had been about one of your great friends and colleagues. I hope they can find who started this all….

The forum users on the david phelps forum were going so far as to say a restraining order should be taken out on the “rumor starter”. I swear, its loony the way people on these forums react to things. Talk about taking Mark Lowry out of context. Insane.

RDB–Diva talk??? Is he not allowed to be human? Losing David would have been a devastating blow. Cut him some slack! I mean, it MAY have been an over-reaction (though I am not sure of that), but it certainly wasn’t over the top.

You’re telling Doug to lighten up? Did you read Mark’s post . . . just ’cause he’s a comedian doesn’t mean when he sounds peevish he’s not really peevish. He’s being funny? Seriously?

Why do these “people” ruin my day, he says? Sounds more like diva-talk than a punchline to me.

Last year, the teenaged son of a friend of mine was killed by a drunk driver. About 2 weeks later, my sister was visiting me; she left to go into town to the store. An hour later, she hadn’t returned & she wasn’t answering her phone. I went into town looking for her…finally found her. At first, she made fun of me for getting so worked up about it…until I said, “Listen - 2 weeks ago, my friend said goodbye to her son as he left for a party - and he never came home. Next time, answer your phone when I call you!”
Mark said that he barely pays attention to these kinds of rumors…then he thought about Anthony Burger. THAT jumpstarted his heart - the poor guy. Things happen, you know. He probably had a hard time believing the news about Dottie Rambo’s death when he first heard it.

All that being said….Doug - lighten up! And a happy Labor Day to ya!

Don’t you think he was just poking fun at the situation, as evidenced by the comment that if it had been true, it would have ruined his whole day? Give Mark a break! He is one of our all-time favorites, and I HAVE TO speak up in his defense!
