Charles Krauthammer, a longtime Fox News contributor, Pulitzer Prize winner, Harvard-trained psychiatrist and best-selling author who came to be known as the dean of conservative commentators, died Thursday. He was 68.
His death had been expected after he wrote a heartbreaking letter to colleagues, friends and viewers on June 8 that said in part “I have been uncharacteristically silent these past ten months. I had thought that silence would soon be coming to an end, but I’m afraid I must tell you now that fate has decided on a different course for me…
“Recent tests have revealed that the cancer has returned. There was no sign of it as recently as a month ago, which means it is aggressive and spreading rapidly. My doctors tell me their best estimate is that I have only a few weeks left to live. This is the final verdict. My fight is over.”

Good riddance to the neocon warmonger propagandist.

How true. Krauthammer pushed hard for the Iraq war and supported the WMD narrative. His writings supported the killing of millions, good riddance indeed.

After trashing Ron Paul (for his position on abolishing the Federal Reserve and eliminating the Patriot Act), his top three for 2012 were Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, and Paul Ryan.

2018 is looking like a good year, tax cuts, goodbye Krautwurst and maybe Mccain. If we wrap it up with Lipstick Lindsey, I wouldn't be complaining TBH.

Didn't Charles call Ron Paul a kook back in 2012? Thats all you really need to know about him.

I heard this a lot. Seemingly inspired by Jack Bauer in 24.

But does a scenario like this ever happen? Its so weird the torture debate became framed around a TV show concept. Or that someone as educated as Krauthammer fell for it.
