Lawrence O’Donnell devoted the last segment of his show to a eulogy of the guy, with two liberal guests who had been victims of Breitbart’s attacks. The gist of the discussion was that, when not in front of a camera or computer, he was actually a pleasant and charming guy. Which made him a huge fraud as well, in my book, if he was just play-acting in the political sphere.
But still, I hate to hear of men younger than me dropping dead of natural causes.
It’s been said that a heart attack in someone below 55 is more likely to be fatal because it is unexpected and unprepared for. Learn from his (bad) example and, whatever a prick he was, he might save your life.
As for Obama’s college tapes, I shudder to imagine how earnest and sincere they are. :eek:
It is also possible that he didn’t actually have a heart attack, in the most common sense (myocardial infarction) but instead cardiac arrest, which can occur at any age. At least, that is my impression when somebody “suddenly drops dead” for no apparent reason:
Of course, many cases are related to coronary artery disease, even if a clot isn’t involved (the risk also remains elevated after a nonfatal heart attack); additional risk factors are smoking and obesity, even without it (certain heart disorders, which can only be found with testing, can even cause it to occur in children).
GAH! Myocardio infarction bullets!!!
