Andrew Breitbart, RIP

Only 43 years old, said to have died of "natural causes" while walking after midnight near his home in Brentwood. That sounds a little suspicious to me, but I certainly have no evidence to back that up so let's assume its true and send some people around to check out the story, shall we?

I feel bad because he died waiting for my apology. I had believed that he was using innacurate sources for his Anthony Weiner story, and WAMK demanded that I apologize for saying so. I withold my apology today as well, because Breitbart would never apologize for a belief.

I hear in person he was an appealing guy, and indeed when he wasn't suggesting that I should be killed I'm sure he was. Go gently into the good night, sir.

Breitbart Calls For Pre-Emptive Killing of Liberals

Hey, he comes right out and says he's not kidding. It seems a little harsh, shooting people because they are going to insult you. I suppose you could call it overkill.

Mea Culpa: It's More Complicated Than I Said

Yesterday for the sake of brevity, I wrote this:

Here's my prediction: Weiner's telling the truth, Breitbart is lying.

That is inaccurate. Breitbart does not say that he knows that famous (though kinda lame) underwear shot is really of Anthony Weiner. First of all, the story didn't originate with Breitbart. It's bylined by P.J. Salvatore, though Breitbart did some background work. He made a few calls.

In any event, he didn't fake the picture himself. I believe that. I can't say for sure it's true, but I think the picture was faked by @patriotusa76 and Breitbart's organization shrugged and ran with it, despite having serious reservations about the source.

Do I know the picture is faked? I do not. That's why I framed it as a prediction.

Never Forget Who The Real Victims Are

Shorter Breitbart: NOW look what you made me do!
