I do not celebrate the death of Andrew Breitbart. I do, however, use the occasion of his death to condemn his life. He was a venomous, lunk-headed and willful force for ill. I am unmoved by the remonstrances about his wife and four children because his personal life is of no interest to me. He was a public figure. I do not savor outliving a person I detested, I brighten at the thought of a sociopolitical discourse which will mercifully now and forever be entirely rid of him. Death is not what Breitbart deserved nor what he “had coming.” What he does deserve, though, is the thin, already-dimming legacy of a man who was not well thought of. The blame for that posterity is entirely his. Do not impose on my decency to remember him any better.*

*I added the last two sentences ten minutes after I first posted. I finally figured out the words.
