R.I.P. Andrew--We Are Going to Miss You

 Like most people, I was shocked to hear that Andrew Breitbart died this morning.  It's always sad when a friend dies, and although I didn't know him personally, I felt that I did.


I first came across Andrew when I joined Twitter--everyone was tweeting about him, both good and bad, and I saw his responses, particularly those on the left who were less than kind, and even less than civil.  But he handled the negativity with an almost verve-like enjoyment and I followed him immediately, knowing I might learn a lot from him.


When he exposed Anthony Weiner for exposing himself on Twitter, I realized how gutsy Andrew was to go forward with the report.  I knew a bit about Weiner, having been from Brooklyn, NY and having met him long ago when his arrogance poured from his pores; so I believed Andrew's report was true and accurate, which it was subsequently proven to be right on the money.  I loved how Andrew later asked for Weiner's apology for calling him a liar when the story first surfaced, and then be proven wrong when all the evidence was made public.


A conservative voice will be sorely missed by many of us in America, a country that has made a left-hand turn and got lost along the way.  But I believe that there are others out here who will continue to be the conservative voice of reason, and I hope to be considered part of that group, even if in a small way.


Rest in peace, Andrew Breitbart.  You will be missed by millions.
