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

He failed to extend his personal life warranty, despite our frequent, strident phone reminders.

Just like Bob Dole.

Dole for pineapple not for President.

Hiatt for compost.

good riddance. Another born liar taking the eternal dirt nap.

Hiatt was born in Washington, D.C.,[1] the son of Howard Haim Hiatt, a medical researcher and former dean of the Harvard School of Public Health,[2] and Doris Bieringer, a librarian who co-founded a reference publication for high school libraries.[3]

His maternal grandfather, Walter H. Bieringer, served as president of the United Service for New Americans which helped to resettle European Jews in the United States after World War II.[4] He graduated from Harvard University in 1977.[1] Hiatt was married to Washington Post editor and writer Margaret “Pooh” Shapiro;[5][6]

Is "in good shape" the new "safe and effective"?

Remember when several Russian leaders "just had a cold"?

This sentence contains a complete falsehood. Someone STILL hasn't learned to edit properly.

Cadiac arrest while visiting his daughter’s family. They called that a “short illness”? Very short, I guess. My brother in law died at 52 of a cardiac arrest. He was standing up and suddenly collapsed. He was dead by the time he hit the floor. Has to be tough for the family to watch that.

Sounds like a dog whistle for da Joos, looking at your posting history and other similar comments.

That’s treading into Völkischer Beobachter territory and is not a conservative position.
