Andrew Breitbart: Death of a DoucheMatt Taibbi
Rolling Stone
March 1, 2012
So Andrew Breitbart is dead. Heres what I have to say to that, and Im sure Breitbart himself would have respected this reaction: Good! Fuck him. I couldnt be happier that hes dead.
I say this in the nicest possible way. I actually kind of liked Andrew Breitbart. Not in the sense that I would ever have wanted to hang out with him, or even be caught within a hundred yards of him without a Haz-Mat suit on, but I respected the shamelessness. Breitbart didnt do anything by halves, and even his most ardent detractors had to admit that he had a highly developed, if not always funny, sense of humor.
For instance, it would be dishonest not to tip a hat to him for that famous scene when he hijacked Anthony Weiners own self-immolating "apology" press conference, and held up the entire event by standing at the lectern and congratulating himself at length, before Weiner could let the humiliating healing begin.
For that one, brief, shining moment still one of the most painful-to-watch YouTube spectacles of all time, right there with Mitt Romneys priceless attempt at singing "Who Let the Dogs Out?" with a group of black voters in Florida in 2008 Breitbart could legitimately claim to have the biggest, hairiest balls on earth.

All this holier-than-thou preaching and attempted shaming really bugs the shit out of me. I couldn't in a million years see a childhood under that man's guidance as a positive thing.

(532 posts)1. The only thing that pissed me off about this is why not sooner.
2. This is a sick thought, but I hope there are people sick enough to exhume and rob his grave.
3. Although I will regret it later, but I hope the WBC gets a front row seat to protest his funeral.
