Althouse: "I leave this life with no regrets. It was a wonderful life — full and complete with the great loves and great endeavors that make it worth living."

June 8, 2018

"I leave this life with no regrets. It was a wonderful life — full and complete with the great loves and great endeavors that make it worth living."

"I am sad to leave, but I leave with the knowledge that I lived the life that I intended."

Charles Krauthammer — revealing that he knows he has "only a few weeks left to live" — says goodbye (WaPo).

Ann Althouse said...: Very sad to read those sentences in the past tense, written by a living man, but it puts the world in a position to say goodbye to a man who is leaving.

A contrast to the recent suicides, so abrupt and without stopping on the threshold and looking back to say goodbye.; 6/8/18, 11:48 AM
Temujin said...: There are a lot of twits on TV these days. Joe Scarborough, Donny Deutsch, to name a couple. Charles is one of those who was always interesting. Brilliant and interesting. So unlike the mouth breathing preeners on the air today. I can remember reading his columns years ago, some so interesting, I would cut them out of the paper to re-read. (yes, at one time we didn't have internet and instead read this paper thing, delivered to us from a guy who would throw rolled up papers out of his car window at our house, while driving by.)

Thank you, for all of the interesting columns and discussions over the years, Charles Krauthammer.; 6/8/18, 11:50 AM

In the "just sayin'" dept.: Always welcome in a 'round table' jabber-fest when a participant fully forms their thought before speaking, and speaks slowly enough to be understood.

Meade said...: "The way I see it, dogs had this big meeting, oh, maybe 20,000 years ago. A huge meeting— an international convention with delegates from everywhere. And that's when they decided that humans were the up-and-coming species and dogs were going to throw their lot in with them. The decision was obviously not unanimous. The wolves and dingoes walked out in protest."
"[...] In some respects— Ph.D. potential, for example— I don't make any great claims for Chester [the Labrador Retreiver]. When I would arrive home, I fully expected to find Hugo [Border Collie] reading the newspaper. Not Chester. Chester would try to make his way through a narrow sliding door, find himself stuck halfway and then look at me with total and quite genuine puzzlement. I don't think he ever got to understand that the rear part of him was actually attached to the front. But it was Chester, who dispensed affection as unreflectively as he breathed, who got me thinking about this long-ago pact between humans and dogs. Cat lovers and the pet averse will just roll their eyes at such dogophilia. I can't help it. Chester was always at your foot or your hand, waiting to be petted and stroked, played with and talked to. His beautiful blocky head, his wonderful overgrown puppy's body, his baritone bark filled every corner of house and heart."
"Then last month, at the tender age of eight, he died quite suddenly. The long, slobbering, slothful decline we had been looking forward to was not to be. When told the news, a young friend who was a regular victim of Chester's lunging love-bombs said mournfully, "He was the sweetest creature I ever saw. He's the only dog I ever saw kiss a cat."

Oliver Willis @owillis
conservatism, even when dressed up in grammatically correct pseudo-highbrow columns and tv spots, is still almost always about urinating on the less fortunate and crapping on minorities

Nonapod said...: His death will be a great loss. One of the best political commentators of this benighted age. He always expressed his ideas so eloquent and masterfully I admired him even on (or especially on) the rare occassions that I disagreed with him.

Trumpit said...: He was the opinionated Grand Poo Bah on Faux Fox News. I hope his death is painless. So many people die slow painful deaths from hunger, homelessness, and illness because of heartless libertarians and far right-winger like him. For someone who needed medical care most of his adult life, it is appalling that he wanted healthcare denied to others less well off than himself. May his last words be: I'm a failed Rethuglican troll; may God have mercy on my corrupted, miserable soul. Lord, please save the country from putrid Trump; I'm only partly to blame for his erection. Don't blame others for my big mistakes; please show others the compassion that I lacked during my selfish life. It's just like me to try to tell God how to behave. Adios cruel world.; 6/8/18, 12:43 PM

While I didn't always agree with Krauthammer, I always admired is ability to express his points of view and to persuade.

His bravery and determination to continue his life after his horrific diving accident can only inspire. How many of us would have given up at that point? Instead he went on to great accomplishments and has left a lasting mark on the community surrounding him.

I wish him a peaceful and pain free conclusion to an outstanding life.; 6/8/18, 1:15 PM

Chuck said...: Althouse, this is a poignant story, with Krauthammer; and as so often happens, I saw it first here at your blog. Your blogging on this and on too many other subjects to count is timely and incisive.

I quite adored Charles Krauthammer and previously in these pages I have cited this 2004 column as one of the best columns in that or any other year. It is to me the model of perfect column-writing.

But I read the comments and I see at least 3 or 4 comments by "Drago" in which my name is used as some sort of anti-Krauthammer reference point. I've never said an unkind word about Krauthammer. I've never called Charles Krauthammer a guy "who can't buy a pair of pants." Ya know?

I don't understand how that sort of commentary is allowed by you, Althouse. For me, as someone who rather loved Charles Krauthammer, to see my name get dragged around by Drago in this fashion is a new low, and an all-too familiar low for your comments-pages moderation.; 6/8/18, 2:15 PM

"Well, Charles Krauthammer is a totally overrated person who really dislikes me personally," Trump replied. "I never met him. But, I mean, he's a totally overrated guy, doesn't know what he's doing. He was totally in favor of the war in Iraq. He wanted to go into Iraq. And he wanted to, you know, stay there forever. So, you know, these are overrated people. I mean, you can mention name after name. By the way, you gonna mention the ones that do like Trump? You don't do that, do you?"
"I'm a failed man," Trump scoffed. "I went to the best school, got the best - great marks, everything else. I went out. I made a fortune, a big fortune, a tremendous fortune.

"It looks like the Trump administration hit bottom last week and it seems to have bounced off the bottom," Krauthammer said on Fox's "Special Report" hours after news that Scaramucci had been ousted from the White House.”

Drago said...: Poor Charles Krauthammer.

Not only does he have to put up with lefties rewriting history (again), but he has to listen to those LLR Chucks, whom he despises, try and use his name in a way that serves the lefts' purpose.

The silver lining is that CK knows that those lefties and LLR allies have very little influence now that their lies and true nature has been fully exposed.

So there is that.; 6/8/18, 4:38 PM
Drago said...: On a positive note, it is heartwarming to see such natural far left allies and propaganda pals as Inga, LLR Chuck and ARM find each other and support each other so passionately.

Not as passionately as "Samantha Bee republican" Chuck supports the dem party, but still. Very encouraging that in this big wild crazy mixed-up world lefties like those can find each other.

On the plus side, there are other voices in the wings taking up the slack who are carrying the fight to LLR Chuck's beloved dems.

Can't wait to see LLR Chuck's head explode when another conservative is nominated for the Supreme Court!!

Krauthammer would have loved that.; 6/8/18, 4:46 PM

Very persuasive.

I mean, not as persuasive as Nancy Pelosi saying the Tax Cuts are "crumbs" and on one cares about the unemployment rate, but still.

Drago said...: One of my favorite LLR Chuck/lefty screwups today, (that Krauthammer would have cleaned up on easily!) is LLR Chuck's ally Nancy Pelosi screwing up the Consumer Confidence numbers.

James K,
And lefties like me who said that they were sorry to hear about Krauthammer and that he was one of the rational ones on Fox News also can express overall admiration for him without propagandists like Drago pissing all over it.

William said...: Bourdain had one of the more enviable lives available to humanity. He got to travel the world, meet interesting people and eat huge amounts of great food. The travel and food were paid for, and he never seemed to gain weight. It really takes imagination to be able to find life unbearable under such conditions........Krauthammer was afflicted with quadriplegia. The overwhelming weight of such a disability crushes every waking movement. It's an extraordinary achievement that Krauthammer was not only able to function at such a high level but to do so with such demonstrable good humor. He was quite a guy. The anti-Bourdain indeed.......Nothing is but thinking makes it so. I don't think I'd ever much complain about anything if I had Bourdain's life, and I don't think I'd think much about anything but how unfair life is if I were dealt Krauthammer's hand.

I haven't watched Fox News in a while, so I didn't know he was on hiatus. I always enjoyed him when he was on Bill O'Reilly. Even though CK was in DC & BOR was in NYC, CK could always be counted on to project one of those "Bill, you ignorant slut" stares through the camera towards BOR. BOR, to his credit, always took it in good humor, & seemed to genuinely like & respect CK.; 6/8/18, 8:16 PM
CWJ said...: Huh. THIS brings out Inga, ARM, and trumpit. But the immediately previous Trump post with 200+ comments yields nothing. Huh. It's almost as if none of them have anything substantive, specific to say detailing Trump's "crimes." It's a mystery.; 6/8/18, 8:17 PM

It's almost as if we are happy to let justice take its course without a neurotic need to place our finger on the scales.; 6/9/18, 8:36 AM
