I did not agree with Ed 99% of the time but hey it makes the world go round, and there is the free speech thing to all. Yes he was a showman who knew how to press your buttons and thats how he made his living.
Is it wrong that when I saw this post the first thing i thought was man I hope he died or something?
By that logic so did Bin Laden! Now they're not exactly equal but it doesn't change the fact that almost everybody has those same qualifications so it's highly convenient that you pick and choose when you use them. Simple fact was I was just being honest that was the first thing that popped in my head when I saw the article its not like he's making news for any other reason now days other than his pro-putin stance! You ever meet him? Well i did on a couple of occasions and he was a self-absorbed egomaniac who would pick any position so long as it would give him power and a soapbox so he started out a conservative went to Liberal than turned into another conservative / Russian / whatever the freaking hell knows what you want to call him by the end. The guy would run anybody else into the ground if they had a different opinion then him that week and was a jerk who I surely won't shed any tears over and by the looks of the post above not many other people will either. Feel bad for family sure.... but not for him.
one hears about this type of situation all the time - a guy chasing money, power, influence like a type AA maniac - only to die too young to enjoy his golden years
ugh - nightmare scenario as far as I'm concerned
but maybe Ed went happy - who knows - he was simply wired to do what he did and I'll be darned if he didn't do it with gusto
The funny thing about it is, no matter weather you despise the dood or liked him, at some point you listened to him. In the end, he won cause all you guys tuned in at some point or another.
Pretty gross to wish death on somebody based on their views.
