I’m sure you’ve already read about Andrew Breitbart dying at the stupifyingly young age of 43 in a dozen places now. And despite Dwight suggesting that I’d have a lively discussion going, I’m not sure I have anything to say that hasn’t been before, and better, by far more famous bloggers than myself. I never met the man, but by all accounts he was a whirlwind of activity. And just as he created a blogging empire (Big Government, Big Hollywood, etc.) almost out of thin air, he wore a dizzying array of hats: reporter, agent provocateur, entrepreneur, blogger, media potentate, editor, and perhaps the greatest Internet Troll of all time. He perfected the “aggressive” in passive aggressive, both uncovering the malfeasance of the left, as well as baiting them with just enough rope to let them hang themselves.
I doubt we shall see his like again.
