25. Does anyone remember the photo editor that died in the anthrax attack?

The one that published a picture of the Bush twins drunk off their asses?

After I watched "Man of the Year'" an awesome Robin Williams movie in which he runs for president and is just amazing....

The movie discusses computer election tampering which is rarely discussed by us on DU anymore much less anyone in Hollywood....

I began to really worry about him.

Comedians are the best way to get through to people, truth through humor, and he was the best.

Then I watched a youtube of him in England, making fun of Sarah Palin and the Bushies....and the horrible thought came to me 'Oh shit they are going to kill him'

He then began a tour called 'weapons of self destruction' all about the Bushes...but quickly had heart problems and needed surgery.

After he recovered, he limited his comedy on the Bushes. From Wiki:





After a six-year break, in August 2008, Williams announced a new 26-city tour titled "Weapons of Self-Destruction". He said that this was his last chance to make jokes at the expense of the Bush administration,

Williams was hospitalized in March 2009 due to heart problems. He postponed his one-man tour for surgery to replace his aortic valve.

By the time the show was staged, only a few minutes covered that subject.


Robin Williams had just finished several movies and would be about to go on the talk show circuit, Jon Stewart, Colbert where he would surely bring up the very recent past of the idiot Bushes at a time when Jeb is getting ready to run.

I saw this was going to happen, I am so sad there is nothing I can do to convince anyone so there is no point- go ahead and delete this if you must but I must speak my truth.

The corporate media that everyone instantly believed on this story is the same one that sold us the war in Iraq and is still lying about everything now.
