    ...turns out his massive weight loss was due to stomach cancer.

    As a longtime listener to Left, Right, and Center (a great podcast, if you're a political junky you need to listen to it) I've found Blankley to be by far the most "normal" right-wing pundit in the blogosphere. He carried the conservatives water, for sure, and had a rapier wit with which to attack liberals and progressives, but I always liked him, as he seemed rather fair.

    Agree on Blankley, might have been one of the better "insiders" period in terms of getting down to the nuts and bolts and articulating the message in ways lefties could at least appreciate if not agree with.
    He will be missed.

    Often a guest on John McLaughlin's show when it still mattered. RIP.
