How incredibly sad. Mr. Kelly was one of the columnists I looked forward to every day. He was a wonderful writer, a terrific conservative, and had a real wit. He will be sorely, sorely missed.

His was a sharp and fine pen. I shall miss his columns.

I heard Sam Donaldson's report. Michael was riding in a HUMVEE that went off the road outside Baghdad and into a canal. Both he and his driver were drowned. No telling why...maybe the driver fell asleep, maybe there was smoke.

Another good one gone. Damn.

Man, I am stunned, too. I lived in D.C. for 4 years, and he was the voice of sanity on the Washington Post op-ed page. Big, big loss. RIP.
