David S. Broder, 81, a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for The Washington Post and one of the most respected writers on national politics for four decades, died Wednesday in Arlington of complications from diabetes.

David Broder. You weren't half as awful as Novak.
How's that for a eulogy?
They are "through."
And so bipartisanship has died as well.
Broder was a Volvo man, if one were to guess.
Well, it wasn't his house anyway.
But if David Brooks died, who'd weakly attempt to indict the crazy elements of modern conservatism?
