| Zbigniew Brzezinski dead at 89 |
| 2017-05-27 |
| Zbigniew Brzezinski, national security advisor to former President Jimmy Carter, has died, according to an announcement from his daughter, MSNBC anchor Mika Brzezinski. There was no word of the cause of death. "He was known to his friends as Zbig, to his grandchildren as Chief and to his wife as the enduring love of her life," Mika wrote on Instagram. Brzezinski served as President Carter's national security advisor from 1977 to 1981 and continued to hold influence in foreign policy issues. A registered Democrat once considered to be the answer to Republicans' favored Henry Kissinger, Brzezinski also served on former President Ronald Reagan's Chemical Warfare Commission and held other roles in the administration until 1989. He was born in Warsaw, Poland, and became a naturalized US citizen in 1958. |

| #5 You just know if Carter picked him to be national security adviser and if he was dumb enough to accept a job from Carter that he wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. |

| #4 We have the mad mullahs in Iran thanks to his incompetence. May God have mercy on his soul for proliferating such fanaticism on the world. |

| #3 "There was no word of the cause of death." Huh. I'm thinging he stopped breathing, etc. Things like that cause death, I'm pretty sure. Or are a strong indicator. He was not amongst my faves, so buh bye, Zbig. J. F'in Kerry next, plz. |
