Sad to report the death this morning of Fred Hiatt, the editor of the @washingtonpost’s editorial page and a wonderful colleague. Note to staff just sent by publisher Fred Ryan: pic.twitter.com/6Le9MIvhAx

No word on what caused the death. Hiatt was 66 and in good shape.

Hiatt was still working before the Thanksgiving holiday…

At this rate, Biden is likely to be presiding over a dangerously unstaffed administration even halfway into his term. If the GOP wins the Senate next year, he’s likely to go an entire term without anything close to a full government in place. @postopinions https://t.co/mt928VK7qK

What does this have to do with the status of the Biden administration staff?

[Cboldt]

WaPo had the Dole tweet prequed. Had him “dead at XX” with the XX supposed to have been edited to arabic numerals but whoever pushed the button forgot to edit first.

Imagine not having to think about Fred Hiatt again.

Not to be cold, but why should I care? A lot of people die each day. Some who have been suffering for entire lives. Some who are sadly very young.

Nothing. That was the last or close to last tweet of the deceased. Could have been on candy bars, happened to have been on Biden admin being thin.

There you go. Tells you what a bunch of nimrods the MSM have working for them.

"...has died after a brief illness"

That's code for COVID or vax death.

[C210N]

66 eh... did he die on his birthday, or could he have died 219 days to being 67?

If the latter, he died at the ripe old age of 66.6

[Red Badger]

On the 6th..................

[Skywise]

If only he had taken the 4th booster…

[Red Badger]

That apparently was one of his last Tweets.............

Well, Yogi Berra said that if you don’t go to other people’s funerals. They won’t come to yours. There are lots of nuggets of wisdom in Yogi’s sayings.

[PGR88]

Is this person at all famous, besides just for being a state-media propagandist?

[xzins]

Never heard of him

[Red Badger]

Everyone is famous in their own world....................

[montag813]

I mourn Hiatt’s passing as I would the editor of Prava or Izvestia c. 1984. Meaning, not one damn bit.

[PGR88]

Yogi Berra once met the New York City Mayor, John Lindsay, and his wife Mary, who gave him the key to the city. It was a hot and humid day. Yogi was wearing a summer suit

Mary Lindsay: “You look so cool in that suit”

Yogi Berra: “You don’t look so hot yourself.”

RE: he died after a brief illness...

Along with “died unexpectedly”.

I still have a “rare” on my bingo card.
