"Robert Bartley Dies at 66
Robert L. Bartley, who made The Wall Street Journal's editorial page one of the nation's most influential conservative voices during his 30 years as its editor, has died after a long battle with cancer. He was 66. Mr. Bartley's editorials, which won him a Pulitzer Prize in 1980, ranged from criticism of arms-control treaties to harsh indictments of President Bill Clinton and his administration. His greatest impact came in turning the Journal's editorial page, as he put it, into "the mouthpiece of supply-side economics," the tax-cutting ideology that has influenced Republican fiscal policy from Ronald Reagan to George W. Bush. Mr. Bartley prided himself on what he called the "muzzle velocity" of his editorials, which offered a sharp contrast to his quiet demeanor but sometimes drew criticism about the withering tone from outside the paper. Earlier this month, President Bush awarded Mr. Bartley the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor".

I hope this war-mongering SOB's soul rots in hell. No single individual has done more to spread neo-con propaganda than Bartley's WSJ editorial page.
