Also, see Andrew Malcolm:
He was often controversial because his opponents often couldn’t answer his stories online, so they went after the messenger.
Andrew loved it. He was one of the few people you encounter in life who bite at every experience, good and bad. Where does that energy come from? You’d get a late-night call with Andrew excitedly talking up a whole package he was about to post. Might as well listen because you weren’t going to get a word in.
In person he’d get so excited in an argument that he’d be shouting inches away. You’d raise a hand as if ‘OK, Andrew, I’m right here.’ He’d laugh at himself and lower the volume. Andrew couldn’t stand hypocrisy and lying and hiding.
He also couldn’t stand passivity. Friends would describe some awful thing happening and instead of a hug he’d shake them out of wallowing with, “So?” And you’d stop and think, ‘Yeh, right. So what am I going to do about it to take control back?’

A lot of us are feeling very sad right now, bereft at the sudden departure and wondering, gee, who has the energy and vision to take up the black cape that Breitbart grandly wore into one session at CPAC last month?
Somewhere, no doubt, Breitbart is watching. And, no doubt, Breitbart is saying, “So?”
I think I’ll listen to a little Shostakovich tonight.

Deciding is what Deciders do.
If they were better at it, the conserative movement would have to be so populist.

Must have forgotten to get the right memo to the RNC also. From their official Delegate summary. Michigan.
This convention is going to be rife with challenges.

One of my faves Ernst. (‘course, I actually like ’em all.) What the hell, how about a couple more? And the big ‘un, for Breitbart.
What he fails to mention is that before the penalty Michigan had 59 delegates, the 28+28 =56 the remaining 3 would be the State Party Super-delegates who are all Romney supporters. This move, I suspect, allows 2 of those 3 to get to the convention as voting Romney delegates.
Mike Cox is a good guy. He came a spoke at two tea party events I attended.
Why do I suspect that had I met Mr Breitbart, I would have liked him? A great deal.
I hung out with him a few years back at the Reagan Ranch. Nice guy.
We shared a birthday.

Arnold dead? That’s too bad. He was a man that knew how to pursue the American dream.
He turned out to be not too staunch as governor, left something to be desired as a father we discovered, but damn, could he pretend to be a machine or what?
Oh, hoax. Sorry, carry on…
He wasn’t dead, just rerouting back-up power.
Mitt Romney is a wienie. How is encouraging people from the other party(ies?) to vote in an open primary an attempt to hijack the primary? Romney is the one who was insisting on an open primary months back, unless I’m mistaken.
new hampshire has an open primary. it’s only good if it helps mr. rethuglican: mittens
Yes, but wasn’t he also talking up the open primary in Michigan? I wasn’t paying a lot of attention since I figured he’d win it by default.
Looks like I was right about that, anyway.
I am far sadder that I imagined I’d be when I woke up today. I think I’ll get drunk.

Andrew Breitbart
“This system serves people only to the extent necessary to ensure that people will serve it. Anything beyond this, that is to say, anything which leads people to overstep their predetermined roles is regarded by the system as an attack upon itself”

Matt Labash does well:
Looks like Andrew covered his bases. Bannon is a good man.
Insiders knew of @AndrewBreitbart’s failing health for the last year. He took very detailed steps as to what would happen going forward.
Andrew Breitbart: Social Conservative.
Okay, not really, but culture matters to both social conservative and libertarian conservatives.
If Andrew Breitbart had a heart attack, might he have been saved if it had happened 10 minutes earlier before he left the bar or 10 minutes later after he was home?
