Woah. |
He was an unpleasant creature, to say the least. |
I have a personal rule against speaking ill against the dead.
Here's hoping the public discourse improves now. |
Whitney Houston, Davy Jones and this, does that complete the 3 or was Whitney Houston too long ago? |
Actually he was a pretty nice guy. He was here in DC a lot and I met him a few times in Georgetown. Just because he was on the other side of the aisle doesn't make him a monster. |
Part of me wonders whether BigJournalism got hacked. |
Who in the heck is Andrew Breitbart? |
No, the trinity thing doesn't work here. Whitney Houston and Davy Jones were famous and entertainers. Breitbart was just notorious. |
The Rupert Murdoch of right-wing Internet sites. Funder/mentor of James O'Keefe. Backer of Drudge. |
Ok - then his death doesn't concern me. |
Maybe Weiner got his revenge... |
If his private persona was anything like his public persona, this is bound to be a relief to his family. The guy was a loudmouthed attack dog, who relished spreading lies and anarchy for the sake of self-promotion. Good riddance. |
^^His role n the ACORN debacle alone makes me feel no sympathy for him. I hope his legacy of hate and intolerance doesn't harm his adopted family and his wife and children. |
