2012 republican presidential nominee III: can romney get santorum out of his hair?

big homie couldn't even get his own thread

If I don't click through and read the words "apoplectic stroke" I'm going to be very upset.

And who could live up to his star billing on the NR Cruise in November, I ask you.

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.

How do you die of "natural causes" at 43? Get hit by a bus?

he was one of the most flagrant disseminators of damaging misinformation (which is saying ALOT, really), & the world is a better place without him.

Breitbard and Atwater, jammin' in heaven.

Yeah, Atwater...I thought of Morton Downey, Jr.

I mean, it's always sad when someone dies, but

no it is not. he was a worthless fuck.

fuck this guy

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.

frank shaeffer quote in that last kingfish quote is amazing, bookmarked the page it came from

uh, "frank shaeffer quote in that last kingfish post..."

matt drudge couldn't even spare a headline for brietbart, no honor among thieves I guess

looks like there's one up now?

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

flash each other?

there wasn't one 5 minutes ago, guess matt drudge got a missive

How do you die of "natural causes" at 43?

you spend your entire life in a rage

"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."

hateful to the last: http://twitter.com/#!/andrewbreitbart

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.

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...

it's not easy on the body or soul if you're HIV-positive like Sully or swollen with cocaine like Breitbart.

"The kind of high stakes in-the-arena 24/7 blogging lifestyle Being a cocaine-fueled rage-o-holic is not always easy on the body or soul."

xpost

we shared a love of headlines lmao

Fingers crossed he left behind a Drudge tell-all.

Wait, which ones? Those delightful early-90's collections of _Jay Leno's Headlines_?

does 'flash each other' mean something I don't know?

there were rumors they shared more than a love of headlines no

big homie couldn't even get his own thread

Is everyone blind?

[flashingdrudgesiren.gif] we shared a love of headlines [/flashingdrudgesiren.gif]

Breitbart doesn't even deserve his own RIP thread. such a horrible person.

This is off-topic but since this is the US politics thread I thought it was somewhat relevant. While currently the focus is on 'social' issues, the claim that rhetoric is at an all-time low doesn't quite stand up in historical context.

The post-Revolutionary War debt argument led by George Hamilton in the late 1780s was unpopular among southern states, and nearly caused Virginia to secede from the union. Unfair taxes was the big issue, and Senator George Mason of Virginia declared that Hamilton had,

done us more injury than Great Britain & all her fleets and armies."

Really brings to mind the economic terrorism/economic slavery rhetoric of the past few years.

Oh, that quote's from p. 51 of "The Federalist Era 1789-1801" by John C. Miller.

rhetoric is always at an all time low what you have now is a realignment of the parties along ideological lines and an increased willingness to use procedural tactics to gum up the legislative process

Ugh Lol. I watched The Roast of David Hasslehoff last night, got George on my mind.

done us more injury than Great Britain & all her fleets and armies."

today's Romney gaffe

hes improving on his flip flop turn around time, working really hard, impressive stuff

it is really, really hard to imagine this guy winning an election
