Sounds like heart disease to me: http://www.forbes.com/sites/danbigman/2012/03/01/andrew-breitbart-dies-suddenly-at-age-43/


“Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles,” the site posted shortly after 5 AM ET.

According to The Associated Press Breitbart collapsed while walking near his home. A neighbor saw him fall and called paramedics, the AP quoted his father in law, Orson Bean, as saying. Bean said Breitbart had suffered from heart problems in the past.

When you don't have a heart...that is indeed a problem.

If some run of the mill Republican dies, my thoughts go out to their families and loved ones.

If Andrew Breitbart dies, I won't dance, but I won't lose a minute of sleep.

If Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, or Doug Feith die, I'm celebrating in the streets.

well fuck that. i am shocked because he was quite young. i don't consider the world worse off for his loss however. maybe his family, but not the world. he was such a hatemonger that it may even be a little bit better today.

and as you say silence is golden.
