This reminds me of something my mother said when a neighbor died. A thoroughly mean man. My mother was going to the funeral, and I said "Why? You know even his kids won't go." She said "I just want to make sure the sonofabitch is dead."

Who else thinks the autopsy will reveal cause of death as being Andy's body kept trying to grow a glans between his ears when it should have grown a skull?

Sickening tributes to Andrew Breitbart on Piers Morgan on CNN, led by Huffington. They praise him for being loud and rude, although they don't use those words. People like Morgan and Huffington must view this all as entertainment in which Breitbart was a star actor.

I won't be surprised if the autopsy shows he died from a gigantic aneurysm bursting in his head. He showed so much rage at the CPAC demonstrators. His blood pressure was probably through the roof.

This "acting" thing can be hazardous.

So can a high-dollar cocaine habit.

I dunno -- he was pretty fat for being a cocaine junky. I'd think he was probably a drinker.

He was a drunk.

Christopher Hedges was a drinker.

Andrew Breitbart: Death of a Douche

So Andrew Breitbart is dead. Here’s what I have to say to that, and I’m sure Breitbart himself would have respected this reaction: Good! Fuck him. I couldn’t be happier that he’s dead.

I say this in the nicest possible way. I actually kind of liked Andrew Breitbart. Not in the sense that I would ever have wanted to hang out with him, or even be caught within a hundred yards of him without a Haz-Mat suit on, but I respected the shamelessness. Breitbart didn’t do anything by halves, and even his most ardent detractors had to admit that he had a highly developed, if not always funny, sense of humor.

For instance, it would be dishonest not to tip a hat to him for that famous scene when he hijacked Anthony Weiner’s own self-immolating "apology" press conference, and held up the entire event by standing at the lectern and congratulating himself at length, before Weiner could let the humiliating healing begin.

Quote:

But he also had enough of a sense of humor to appreciate why someone like me shouldn’t bother to pretend I’m sad he’s dead. He wouldn’t, in my place. So to use one of his favorite words: Good riddance, cocksucker.* Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

* See the following Breitbascumrt quote: “I like to call someone a raving vagina every now and then, when it’s appropriate, for effect... ‘You cocksucker.’ I love that kind of language.”

I know. I usually try very hard. I'm finding it difficult to mourn him.

I do feel for his kids. But Breitbart was such a lying scumbag.

And he wasn't likable.

Atwater... even though he was a lying scumbag... he was likeable for some reason. Atwater had that badboy charm that you know is so dangerous.

Breitbart wasn't charming in the least. He was just an evil S.O.B. with no soul.

Given that Orly was making noises that she was going to stalk him, I can't rule out suicide.

Bottom line for me is that, while I tend not to wish people dead, I'm not sad. IMHO he made the world a better place by not being in it any more. On a strictly visceral level? I hope it hurt. I hope it hurt BAD. I hope he knew that he was about to die and I hope he had time to be afraid.

Yeah, I'm really not a nice person sometimes. Turns out I can live with that.

I had only a vague recollection of who Orson Bean was. Politically, he was all over the map. His father was a founding member of the ACLU and Bean himself (not his real name) was blacklisted for attending meetings of communists back in the days. Somewhere along the line, he became a Christian conservative and was a supporter of Prop 8. He still acting at age 83. Supposedly, he and Breitbart were close.

Shudder. Likeable? The only thing likeable about that sincerely-evil hairball is the thought of what its nose would have looked like after I smeared it all over its face. It gave 30 years of the worst government this country has ever seen.

Lee Atwater had that being a musician thing going for him what exactly did Breitbart have?

I' m on my phone, but I did see on the Drudge that Mike Savage is suggesting it is murder...in that way right wing radio does...saying it couldn't be true, its just a thought I want to plant in your head and not have any responsibility for. Anyway, that Ayers gave him a video that was going to ruin Oama. The comments were beautiful. The only way you will know it wasn't murder is if the video comes out...

If it comes out they'll still call it murder and just say the Obama team was too incompetent to stop breitbart.

Andrew Breitbart “Wait Til They See What Happens March 1st”

Andrew Breitbart was one of the inspirations behind our consolidation of our multiple domain names into what has become Sinclair-News-LSNewsGroup. With the announcement of Andrew’s passing overnight we could not help recalling our conversation just 3 weeks ago in Washington, DC. Andrew said on Feb 9, 2012 in Washington, DC “wait til they see what happens March first.” We are forever grateful to Andrew for telling us that our November 2011 story about Ben Smith and Politico killing the 2008 sourced story showing Obama had lied about the extent of his relationship with Bill Ayers was trueful and the media knew it was true.

Jerome Corsi had a dream last night. In his dream Andrew Brietbart came to him and said, "Jerome, do you remember how once we were talinking and you said that you hoped Heaven was an endless election season and that you wished you could be a journalist covering the races?"

Corsi: "yes, is do, is that how it is?"

Brietbart: "Yes, and I have good news for you, you're covering the primary tommorow.

Crap, I navigated away and now have to run. It was the thread on the LA coroner looking into it, I'm pretty sure. Sorry, will find it when I get back to this computer in a bit!

Finally I get around to it

That's where I saw the speculation re: the dinner with Ayers. There's a LOT of speculation in the Breitbart threads overall.

I was taught not to speak ill of the recently deceased, but Breitbart's behavior makes it tempting to make an exception.

I wasn't around in 1945, but I'd imagine they weren't saying good things about Adolph after his death.

Falsehoods unchallenged only fester and grow.
