Liberals like that, I don’t mind. He put his money where his mouth was, quietly, which is more than we can say about a lot of people, liberal or conservative.
He was married for forty years, which is more than we can say about a lot of people, liberal or conservative.
If the rest of the left was like him, we’d be in great shape.

What garnered Newman a huge amount of respect was that he wanted to make a difference--and he did it through the Newman's Own food company, who donates 100% of its profits to charity (US$220 million donated as of this month since the company was founded in 1982). I think a lot of the Hollywood Left today are kicking themselves for not doing this idea earlier.

A great, often under-appreciated actor who really did make a difference in the lives of many people for the right reasons--he will be sorely missed.
