Roger Rosenblatt, Ph.D. (born 1940)
American Journalist, Author, Playwright, Essayist, Columnist,
Teacher and Fulbright Scholar in Ireland in 1965-66

Yes, I know that you are certain that your friends are becoming your enemies; that your grocer, garbage man, clergyman, sister-in-law, and your dog are all of the opinion that you have put on weight, that you have lost your touch, that you have lost your mind; furthermore you are convinced that everyone spends two-thirds of every day commenting on your disintegration, denigrating your work, plotting your assignation. I promise you: Nobody is thinking about you. They are thinking about themselves—just like you.

The world has a little less hate in it today, and I am as unsympathetic to this bigot’s death as I will be when others of his ilk like Limbaugh, Hannity, O’Reilly, et al meet their maker. Good riddance Breitbart, you bigoted piece of shit!

For those of the mindset that think one should not speak ill of the dead it is obvious that I disagree. I do not believe that one who spent a lifetime spewing bigotries should somehow have bestowed upon them a modicum of respect simply because they met their maker. No, the only place one should find sympathy for someone of Breitbart’s character should be in a dictionary, somewhere between shit and syphilis. [MSH]
