Andrew Breitbart Death Trumps Sheriff Joe Arpaio Announcement

Being in San Diego presents me with a few unique opportunities. Shaking the hand of Andrew Breitbart was one such opportunity. I had a couple short conversations with Andrew and we tag teamed the left via twitter on a couple occassions.

I snapped a couple pictures of Andrew with my friends, but never jumped to get a photo op for myself. That is my style. My name doesn't matter, my face doesn't need to be in lights. I am a humble guy from Northern Indiana who is not James Dean. However, the idea of America means everything to me as it did to Andrew Breitbart.

I understand that Andrew was twitter jousting while on a walk when he collapsed. He was not in athletic shape, but he certainly was not in dire physical condition. So news of his passing is a major shock!

The news is also a headline grabber from Sheriff Joe today at noon. The Daily KOS is having a hard time mocking Sheriff Joe this time around. The comments are trickling in and some are pro Sheriff Joe.

That is an entire week to head this thing off at the pass, and they failed. I hope Sheriff Joe has something new to say because it would have been Breitbart publicizing it.

Let us salute Andrew Breitbart as a warrior for freedom and a fearless force for the new media.
