As we all know from the plot of virtually every big Hollywood gangster movie ever made, when there's a gang of loutish thugs and the head lout is removed, the remaining loutish thugs invariably turn on each other in a frenzy of loutishness and thuggery. This is apparently what is going on at rightwing internet concern Breitbart.com following the sudden death of Andrew Breitbart on March 1 of this year, according to
Hi! I'm here from the future to report that Breitbart evolved into a retarded echo chamber of Donald Trump sycophants. Why Donald Trump, you ask? Because the failed real estate megalomaniac and odious reality-show star became the Republican candidate for president in 2016. I am not making this up! And -- hold onto yourselves -- he was defeated in the 2016 national election by...Hillary Clinton! Consider yourselves fortunate to be living in the year 2012. It has gotten much worse. You just might want to kill yourselves now.
Sort of like the decline of National Review after Buckley kicked the bucket. (I know Buckley was actually smart and stuff, but death has sort of a leveling effect.)
The idea of stunts or pranks driving "national news cycles for days” was irritating... until I remembered that the media being manipulated is much more interested in a horse race to drive ad revenue than anything resembling "news".
Just imagine if that had happened to a certain alleged historical religious figure.

I just want to know when I stop getting stalked.

Oh, wait, "too soon."
Neither did I. And I don't.
Both sides were against her since the day she was born.

Are you sure you shouldn't use the future semi-conditionally modified subinverted plagal past subjunctive intentional?
Generalissimo Francisco Franco?
And why is the driver wearing a winged cupcake on his/her/its hat?
You're talking about an ex breitbarter here... I'd be shocked if it wasn't smeared with poop first...
"... rampant infighting as his disciples battle for ownership of his legacy."
As in?
"You take it!"
"Hell no! I'd rather live on a toxic waste dump. It's yours!"
"Oh no you don't! You can't stick me with that pile of crap! I don't want it!"
"No way! You promised us you would take it!"
&c.
So, the corpse is starting to disintegrate? Sorry, wingnuts, looks like his chance at beatification is gone.
