^^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.

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.

Maybe Weiner got his revenge...

Ok - then his death doesn't concern me.

No, the trinity thing doesn't work here. Whitney Houston and Davy Jones were famous and entertainers. Breitbart was just notorious.

Who in the heck is Andrew Breitbart?

Part of me wonders whether BigJournalism got hacked.

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.

I have a personal rule against speaking ill against the dead.

Here's hoping the public discourse improves now.

He was an unpleasant creature, to say the least.

Woah.
