Sad to hear he passed. I was a fan and his writings were influential as I embraced libertarian ideals. He showed that you could be hip & funny while holding some conservative views. His book, "Parliament of Whores", is recommended reading for anyone with even a passing interest in American politics.
The cigarette in his hand is what did him in. Lung cancer. No matter what side of the aisle you're on or if you're straight up the middle the guy had a rapier wit and was deeply admired by his colleagues. RIP.
One of the few who could have given us an honest, but hilarious, perspective on these last couple years.
“A woman should either be nude or wearing something as expensive as getting her nude is going to be.”
"I have a 10 year old at home, and she is always saying, 'That's not fair.' When she says that, I say, "Honey, you're cute; that's not fair. Your family is pretty well off; that's not fair. You were born in America; that's not fair. Honey, you had better pray to God that things don't start getting fair for you."
