The Shirley Sherrod story was the one time I thought, "This guy's an awful person." I had no specific sense of him outside that, other than he seemed to get very angry very easily.

There was also the time he flipped off a "peace march" outside his hotel because he thought they were anti-Iraq-War. Turns out they were protesting the conscription of children into armies in Africa.

i mean i'm well aware that another troll will pop up in his place but i will not regret never seeing his fucking face on my computer or TV screen again. i mean he's dead now, what the fuck does he care if i said that? if i'd say it while he was alive, it's no worse to say it once he's dead.

DEAR READER: In the first decade of the DRUDGEREPORT Andrew Breitbart was a constant source of energy, passion and commitment. We shared a love of headlines, a love of the news, an excitement about what's happening. I don't think there was a single day during that time when we did not flash each other or laugh with each other, or challenge each other. I still see him in my mind's eye in Venice Beach, the sunny day I met him. He was in his mid 20's. It was all there. He had a wonderful, loving family and we all feel great sadness for them today... MDRUDGE

Sullivan, who seemed to be a friend: "The kind of high stakes in-the-arena 24/7 blogging lifestyle is not always easy on the body or soul." Seems like a rather poor justification (or at least explanation) for behave-however. Every job has its pressures.
― clemenza, Thursday, 1 March 2012 15:53 (twelve years ago) link
I prefer this from Sullivan when he ended up sitting next to Breitbart on a flight:
Breitbart is actually a kind of straight gay: loves pop music, hates rock n roll, lost interest in radio music around the time of grunge (as did I) and now believes there's a revival of joyous pop going on.
See, if he had stuck to poptimism...
