Ben Bradlee now in hospice care
Washington Post ^ | 10/1/2014 | Paul Farhi

Former Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee’s health has declined over the past two months and he has begun hospice care, his wife, Sally Quinn, said in a television interview broadcast Sunday.

Bradlee, 93, has suffered from Alzheimer’s disease for the past several years. His health recently deteriorated to the point where he sleeps 20 hours a day and no longer eats much, Quinn said. He began hospice care at the couple’s home in Washington in mid-September, she said.

We’ll know it’s really serious when Sally starts dating again.

Bradlee is the Newsman and friend of JFK that revealed that JFK was pro-abortion, clearing up what people already assumed.

Sad.

One day you’re living the good life encouraging everyone to follow the liberal path of life, the next day you’re facing the narrow door of eternity.

I’m not going to shed any tears for this guy. He’s part of the Leftist Establishment that’s been eating away at this country’s foundations all of his life. Enjoy you upcoming visit with Satan, Ben.

Not a fan of Mr Bradlee, but sorry to hear this nonetheless. Prayers for him. Hospice means it’s only a matter of days.

Sally Quinn is truly a despicable woman.

Not a way to die that I would wish on anyone.

I am hoping to die in my late 90s while running a marathon and getting hit by a drunk driving liberal billionaire.

A peaceful passing, and then RIP and condolences to his loved ones.

And then you have to answer for your sins. Heaven doesn’t open its gates for liberals just because they sincerely believe it is okay to murder the unborn.

Sally Quinn is truly a despicable woman.

Very true. Very few can exude the snide, snarky, elitist, holier-than-thou countenance as she does.

My prayers that Ben will soon exit the hellhole of being married to... that.

At least he doesn’t know where he is, or that his wife is a harpy.

“Benji” is also the guy who, during a visit with JFK in the Oval Office, was shown copies of the personal tax returns of the president’s political enemies. Naturally, Bradlee never said a word about Kennedy’s illegal activities.
