This is a fine way to start the day
No one should rejoice in the death of another human being. But when someone has rejected his own humanity then the news of his death is cause for celebration.
Conservative media publisher and activist Andrew Breitbart, who was behind investigations that led to the resignations of former Rep. Anthony Weiner of New York and former U.S. Agriculture Department official Shirley Sherrod, has died in Los Angeles. He was 43.He was certainly deserving, but we have to wonder what took him so long. The only sad part is that he was abeled a publisher for his scurrilous activities.
Breitbart's website, bigjournalism.com, announced Thursday he died of natural causes in Los Angeles. His death was confirmed by breitbart.com editor-in-chief Joel Pollak, who said he was at the hospital, and by the Los Angeles County coroner's office.
Breitbart was walking near his house in the Brentwood neighborhood on Thursday, shortly after midnight, when he collapsed, said his father-in-law, Orson Bean, a movie, TV and Broadway actor.

I, for one, am sorry the man is dead, if only because I was looking forward to the Shirley Sherrodd trial. Mr. Breitbart's serial lies about the Pigford settlements alone deserve an airing in court. That and his imputations of mass dishonesty at ACORN have become major rightwing talking points.
I hope Ms. Sherrodd allows the suit to proceed against Brietbart's estate, as this mean fellow who reveled in his anger and racism's serial lies need to be exposed.
