RIP Charles Krauthammer

So smart and always gave me something to think about. May God bless you and your family.

His points were always well thought out and made sense whether you agreed with him or not. I complimented him one time on an article he wrote when he worked at the Washington Post and he graciously sent me a lengthy email reply thanking me. We need a few (many) like him in Washington.

I've never heard anyone say a negative word about him. A truly brilliant and incredible man.

I loved his book:

A very sad loss for lovers of good, reasoned thinking and discussion. I really admired his writings I've seen over the last 30+ years.

Baseball has lost a true fan and we have lost a pretty good thinker

Glad the Nationals did that...I always looked forward to what he had to say and will miss him and his commentaries. I also need to read his book one of these days. Surprised he never authored more than a handful of books.
