Here's the good news:

That shit Lee Atwater was able to reconstitute his legacy and "apologize" for screwing all of us over royally, receiving all those whom he had maligned at his deathbed or by proxy. That other shit Breitbart was afforded no such opportunity - unless there's some forged apologia, he will forever be destined to be remembered as a lying, devious, creepy sack o' shit who took advantage of the (often willful) ignorance and (arrant) stupidity of many his fellow Americans. I wonder if the equivalent of E.L. Doctorow will be writing a book about his children's lives in the manner in which Doctorow wrote about the Rosenberg's children, The Book Of Daniel. Somehow I doubt it...

1. I thought of Lee Atwater too

in the end, liberals helping him in his dying days made him see the error of his ways - no apology could make up for the damage he did but I think his remorse was genuine- Breibart - that hateful gasbag would have bypassed such an opportunity - he was disgusting to the end

2. I wouldn't believe a single word that Atwater ever said about anything:

that's what happens when you LIE about any little thing - no trust. He SAID he was sorry. No, I just don't believe that he ever was. Too bad for him. Live by the sword, and die by the sword.

3. he died a horrible, painful death

that might be what it takes a repuke to change

4. Interesting...

what about a painful death would cause someone to change their professionally political stripes? Would I become a RW fearmongering creepy propagandist because I was dying a painful death? What about the process changes anyone? I am curious...yellow.
