Falwell Dead
2007-05-15
From AP
The Rev. Jerry Falwell, who founded the Moral Majority and built the religious right into a political force, died Tuesday shortly after being found unconscious in his office at Liberty University, a school executive said. He was 73.

Ron Godwin, the university's executive vice president, said Falwell, 73, was found unresponsive around 10:45 a.m. and taken to Lynchburg General Hospital. "CPR efforts were unsuccessful," he said.

Godwin said he was not sure what caused the collapse, but he said Falwell "has a history of heart challenges."

"I had breakfast with him, and he was fine at breakfast," Godwin said. "He went to his office, I went to mine, and they found him unresponsive."

#4  Also for what it's worth, the lefties here at work are ready to throw a party, so at least he annoyed the right people, whatever his flaws.

#1  Beat me to it, tu. Like I said in the one I tried to post, he's not one of my favorite people but he definitely was influential, for better or for worse.
