As Cathy Seipp Lay Dying, Her Nemesis Took Parting Shot
FOX ^ | 03/28/07 | Michael Y. Park

The 49-year-old newspaper columnist and conservative blogger, who had come from Manitoba, Canada, to become the sharp-tongued doyenne of the Los Angeles media scene, was only hours away from losing her years-long fight with cancer, leaving behind a 17-year-old daughter, a lifetime of work as a plucky and plain-speaking wordsmith, and the respect of colleagues from both sides of the political spectrum.

But what was supposed to have been a dignified end for a long-suffering single mom instead turned into what friends called a disgustingly public travesty, an example of the current Wild West atmosphere of Internet privacy issues, and a sordid showcase of just how far a beef can go.

Just hours before her death, “Cathy Seipp” suddenly seemed to undo decades of hard work with an oddly written letter posted on the Web site, www. cathyseipp.com. In what came off as more bizarre rant than heartfelt apology, her supposed “very last blog entry” called her years of journalism a “shoddy,” “despicable” and “irresponsible” career as a “fourth-rate hack.” Her political stance?

My opinion for what it's worth - it's just another by-product of the infantilization of the hive.

God forbid any hateful thought should go unarticulated.

Let me word this very carefully. It appears that he left his teaching job following an incident involving a 10th grade student.
I don't think you read close enough. That 10th grader was the daughter of the lady that died of cancer.


Does that mean that Eliot Stein has the same tendencies as a child molester?

This subhuman will some day anger the wrong person. Someone who will take physical action instead of just typing a few words. Some folks are just in need of a major ass whoopin.

You are forgiven. What is more important was the message delivered about ID'ing a POS. Way to go Froufrou!

I saw this story on Fox News. What an unbelievable story. This guy Stein is a scary whackjob. I'm literally speechless.

Prayers for this poor woman, her daughter and extended family and friends.
