Andrew Breitbart dead at 43

Conservative activist and media pioneer Andrew Breitbart died yesterday morning.  He was 43.

Jonah Goldberg has written a marvelous obituary that captures perfectly the happy warrior Breitbart was.  Of all the prominent figures in the conservative universe, he was easily the most cheerful and undeterred.  His boundless enthusiasm for his cause made him a lot of enemies, and they are showing their shameful colors in the aftermath of his death.

Thank you especially for that example, sir.  God be with your family and friends.

RIP.
