Wesley Pruden would have undoubtedly wanted to spend his final hours at his keyboard, deftly deflating the pompous, entitled and arrogant of the political establishment, and he came awfully close.

The venerable Washington Times editor, columnist and journalism institution was found dead Wednesday morning at his home, his passing coming hours after putting in a full day at the newsroom on New York Avenue in Northeast, where he had worked since 1982, four months after the newspaper’s founding.

Used to read his articles in the old “Insight Magazine” - good guy - fought the good fight - RIP.......

As I recall G. Gordon would save Pruden’s column for last among “real” papers...then he would comment disparagingly on the risible jottings of the Washington [BLEEP].

Damn. He will be missed.

RIP Mr. Pruden.
