Andrew Breitbart: Death of a Douche
Matt Taibbi
Rolling Stone

March 1, 2012

So Andrew Breitbart is dead. Here’s what I have to say to that, and I’m sure Breitbart himself would have respected this reaction: Good! Fuck him. I couldn’t be happier that he’s 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 didn’t 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 Weiner’s 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 Romney’s 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.

1. My only regret is that I didn't get to see the event..

Watching that piece of shit die would rate high on my "good memories list" .

[HopeHoops]

2. I think he qualifies for "douche nozzle".

[Confusious]

3. Anger and hate will eat you up inside. nt

[Hissyspit]

4. Of course it will.

And it is also important to point out what an unethical full-of-calumny person Brietbart, doing multiple damage to innocent people for his own benefit.

16. discussing his shit is good. celebrating his dying with little kids living on is tacky.

[Ikonoklast]

19. His little kids will be take care of by the Social Security he would have taken from others

who so desperately need it.

I shed not one tear for that sack of crap.

[TroglodyteScholar]

20. It's not as though they're the first or only kids to ever lose their father.

They will survuve. As a matter of fact, does anyone *truly* belive the kids aren't better off for this in the long run?

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.

[Raine]

10. That's probably what killed Brightfart but I'll take my chances.

[Confusious]

13. One quote I remember

A German solider said once:

"The NAZIs taught us how to hate. Once you hate like that, you can never love correctly again."

[roguevalley]

17. +1,000,000

[trueblue2007]

5. kick and recommend

with pleasure

[frylock]

6. i don't know what i enjoying more..

the death of this fuckstain or the boohoohooing of his idiotic acolytes and their callouts of libtards for not showing any compassion. fuck them all.

[malaise]

7. Delightfully honest

Rec

[JI7]

8. i thought Taibbi was being kind

[Taverner]

11. Me too.

I, for one, don't think he was funny in the least. Funny like a heart attack

[JI7]

12. i thought his outburst at the CPAC towards the protestors was funny

but that's more a case of laughing at him . i will remember that a lot more than the Weiner stuff. in fact i watch it regularly when i want a good laugh now.

[roguevalley]

18. he reminded me of a hitchings wannabe. A fat drunkard who thought he was some desolute

French poet taking on the world. He was a heart attack walking around. Sad for his infants who won't understand.

[Raine]

9. I went to bed happy after hearing the good news that he was dead.

[Great Caesars Ghost]

14. This is how much I hate Breitbart.

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.

[Dawson Leery]

15. Considering Andy's background, he deserves no sympathy.
