Andrew Breitbart, the conservative blogger whose posting of a sexually explicit photo of former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner led to the congressman's downfall, has died, his attorney confirmed Thursday. He was 43. Joel Pollak, editor-in-chief and in-house counsel for Breitbart's website, Breitbart.com, posted a statement confirming his death. “Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles,” the statement read. “We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior”/CNN.

Thoughts?

This undated photo taken from the website BigGovernment.com, run by conservative activist Andrew Breitbart, purports to show Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., shirtless. After days of denials, Weiner confessed today that he tweeted a photo of his bulging underpants to a young woman, and he also admitted to “inappropriate” exchanges with six women before and after he got married. The scandal escalated when the website, BigGovernment.com,, posted photos, including the one shown, purportedly from a second woman who said she received shirtless shots of the congressman. The site said the pictures were in a cache of intimate online photographs, chats and email exchanges the woman claimed to have. The website did not identify the woman. (AP Photo/BigGovernment.com)

In an article aptly headlined “The Rage Machine,” (5-24-10) right-wing Internet entrepreneur and Fox News darling Andrew Breitbart confides to New Yorker magazine staff writer Rebecca Mead, “I just feel like one of these Idaho guys saying, ‘You’re not taking my land,’ — with a gun, on my porch.” Under further questioning, Breitbart reveals he has never gotten closer to Idaho than his browser when he was recently looking up properties in Coeur d’Alene, attracted by the Coeur d’Alene Resort golf course and perhaps fantasizing about a life of rugged LibertarFox ian individualism only with nice shoes and sand wedges. “I saw the golf course there and it had a really cool island,” he says in the article. “You do not want to live there. I’ve been there,” his friend, former MTV anchor Kurt Loder says/Kevin Taylor, Pacific Northwest Inlander blog. More here.
