RIP Breitbart

All I have to add to what Steve said is this quote (via Poniewozik) from a story on reactions to the death of Senator Edward Kennedy:

Andrew Breitbart, a Washington Times columnist who oversees Breitbart.com and BigHollywood.com, tapped into the anti-Kennedy vein in the hours after the senator’s death was announced, posting a series of Twitter messages in which he called Kennedy a “villain,” a “duplicitous bastard” and a “prick.”

"I'm more than willing to go off decorum to ensure THIS MAN is not beatified,” Breitbart wrote. “Sorry, he destroyed lives. And he knew it."

We would be doing Breitbart an injustice if we failed to apply the same rigorous standard on the occasion of his passing.

Update: And there was also this:

All class, all the time.
