1. Oh dear.

Just as well - he would have died in November anyway of pure shock.

[slingsam]

2. can you just poke him

and make sure?

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

17. That was my thought...

He only appears to be dead. Might just be resting.

[kwassa]

18. He's just pining for the fjords

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

24. Let's nail him to the perch!

3. Is that like Fransico Franco?

Years ago on SNL, Chevy Chase would usually open the weekend up date with "Generalissmo Franco is still dead

[Benhurst]

4. How could they tell?

[Vickers]

5. I disagree with the guy vehemently, but at least he was interesting

to listen to, and had an excellent command of the English language.

RIP

[SoFlaJet]

6. yup

a guy just said it on MSNBC

[terrya]

7. I guess Gore Vidal will have the satisfaction of outliving him.

[htuttle]

Noam Chomsky, too

8. Does that mean he won't be voting in November?

If so, good. One less voter for the GOP candidate.

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. duplicate - sorry

[Bluebear]

9. With all due respect, he appeared that way long ago.

But RIP.

10. A Tale of Two Cities

The idle wealthy are better off for his efforts.
The powerless and poor (the other 97%) are not.

What else can be said?

[NWHarkness]

13. He was a despicable racist

Of course, all the media coverage will be glowing.

[GoneOffShore]

11. Only appears?

Aren't they sure or can't they tell?


Self administered :spank:

[JDPriestly]

12. No comment. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

[Rydz777]

15. Exactly.

[shain from kane]

16. Didn't care much for him. Liked his son, Tim.

Once I was a soldier
And I fought on foreign sands for you
Once I was a hunter
And I brought home fresh meat for you
Once I was a lover
And I searched behind your eyes for you
And soon there'll be another
To tell you I was just a lie

(chorus) And sometimes I wonder
Just for a while
Will you remember me

And though you have forgotten
All of our rubbish dreams
I find myself searching
Through the ashes of our ruins
For the days when we smiled
And the hours that ran wild
With the magic of our eyes
And the silence of our words

19. He was one of the few honest conservatives

He was WRONG, but he was honest.

I remember back in the 70s, he took a boat out behind the 3 mile limit and toked up. He then wrote a column about how the continued illegality of marijuana was a total farce.

In other words, he did call them as he saw them.

[Turbineguy]

20. He had half the functioning braincells

in the conservative movement.

[Perry Logan]

21. He was proof of my theorem: the dumber the right-winger, the smarter he thinks he is.

[Raskolnik]

23. He was a lot of things, but I don't think dumb was one of them.

[live love laugh]

22. Just heard on radio he was in the CIA in his early career. HMMMMmmm
