Santorum Will Miss This Guy?

Dear Readers,

While Madame L does not want to speak ill of the dead, please allow her to express astonishment and dismay at the fact that Republican presidential nominee candidate Rick Santorum says he's going to miss Andrew Breitbart.

Santorum said Breitbart was a ""powerful force." He added, "What a huge loss … for our country and certainly for the conservative movement."

To be fair, the other candidates also had kind words to say about Breitbart, although Madame L would quibble with them, too. Madame L would particularly argue with Newt Gingrich's tweeting that the man had "great courage and creativity." Madame L appreciated the fact that Mitt Romney emphasized that he was a "loving husband and father." 

Madame L likes the fact that most liberal commentators so far are not blasting him for his tactics, but acknowledging his commitment to his causes.

As Ari Rabin-Havt of Media Matters said, "We've disagreed more than we've found common ground, but there was never any question of Andrew's passion for and commitment to what he believed." 

Madame L wishes his family the best.

Sincerely,

Madame L

I had never heard of him (surprise), but after a brief internet search, he sounds like quite the character.
