    SJ's political guidelines notwithstanding, I think Breitbart relinquished 'too soon for insults' protection when he tweeted that Ted Kennedy was 'a special pile of human excrement,' and 'a big ass motherf&%^er' within hours of Kennedy's death.

    The AP is reporting he collapsed while on a walk. So, heart or brain is my guess.

    Aneurysm? Embolism? Just off a long plane flight?

    But, but, but the very last words he ever tweeted were "I apologize."

    Just to be clear, I'm not celebrating his death. This was someone who said what he wanted to say, always...it will be interesting to see if his critics and detractors will do the same.

    Sounds like heart. I read somewhere (TMZ?) he had heart problems last year.

    There's no surprise at all that people will revel in his death. It's not right, but it's not surprising either, considering statements he made over time.

    It was kind. I tend to think if you're going to bring in "He made his mark," you owe it to the reader to tell the truth about that mark, and whether it was a good thing.
