Andrew Breitbart memorialized on floor of Congress

Andrew Breitbart, the Los Angeles-based conservative Web innovator and author who died Thursday, was memorialized on the floor of U.S. Congress.

"There was no stopping Andrew Breitbart from fighting the good fight with every fiber of his soul," said Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI) in Congress. "Goodbye and God bless, Brother Andrew. You are loved and mourned and ever remembered."

He was also remembered on the airwaves today. Fox News anchor Sean Hannity said: “Andrew took no prisoners. He didn’t have a governor. He didn’t have a shut-off valve."

Officials at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center suspected his death was due to natural causes, Breitbart's father-in-law, actor Orson Bean, told The Times.

at the untimely death of a great patriot. The multiple requests for a moment of silence by the shitheads in the GOP followed by the sound of every thinking person in the chamber vomiting on the marble in unison.

floor of one of my houses. The room must have stunk while this was going on. The people of this country own these so-called lawmakers and they should be punished for taking our money and using it for their own nefarious reasons. McCotter has his own cell in hell already reserved. Meantime women in this country are being auctioned off to employers to kick out of medical aid. And I will add those Democrats who voted for that law. It has gone too far. I do not know if we will be able to counter all the mean Republicans. Not one of them has any shame at all. The basic reason for all their anti-American attitudes boils down to one thing. They are all--and I mean all are angry because the man who is now our president is a black man. Nothing they can so or do to make us not believe that is not on the table. They are racists pure and simple. That is what it all boils down to.
