Andrew Breitbart

Walking last night in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, conservative provacateur Andrew Breitbart suddenly collapsed and then died of what reports describe as “natural causes” at the age of 43.

Breitbart had apparently experienced heart problems a year earlier.

Andrew Breitbart was a creative and tremendously combative personality. The web sites he created have had a major impact, both in breaking new stories and in the effective expression of an alternative perspective to that of the establishment media. He will be missed.
