MANASSAS, Va., Aug. 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Richard A. Viguerie, Chairman of ConservativeHQ.com, issued the following statement on the death of columnist James J. Kilpatrick: When I moved to Washington, Virginia in 1984, James J. Kilpatrick was one of the first to welcome me to Rappahannock County. Kilpatrick wrote his widely syndicated columns from Scrabble, Virginia, just a few miles from 'Little Washington.'

James Kilpatrick has crafted his final column. At age 88, he has certainly earned his retirement. His language column, The Writer's Art, may have been one only the Grammar Police could love, but his gentle curmudgeonly take on what some might regard as trivial language errors was always informative and useful. For me, it was a pleasure to read. His earlier-retired column on the law and the Supreme Court, written from an educated and highly-informed lay perspective, was equally enjoyable. He will be missed.
Let's roll out the list. It includes, in no particular order of sluttishness: Kwame Kilpatrick, Jesse Jackson, James McGreevey, Ted Haggard, Gary Condit, Mark Sanford, John Edwards, Bill Clinton, Newt Gingrich, Rudy Giuliani, Eliot Spitzer, Antonio Villaraigosa, Arnold Schwarzenegger, James West, Larry Craig, David Vitter, John Ensign. And now, Anthony Weiner, Democratic representative from New York. The thing these individuals have in common is as obvious as, well ... the erect penis in Weiner's underwear in that risque picture he claimed he never tweeted to a young woman and wasn't even sure was really him, only to confess last week that he was lying on both counts. In case the commonality eludes you: They are all political or social leaders who got caught in sex scandals, having gott...
James Kilpatrick WASHINGTON - James J. Kilpatrick, who rose from cub reporter to become one of the South's most prominent newspaper editors and the nation's most widely syndicated political columnist, has died. He was 89.
In April 1987, I composed the first of a number of letters that I would exchange with newspaper columnist James Kilpatrick across the years and miles. This was a daunting task. For starters, we'd never met. Second, our political views often clashed. And last, I was still using a manual typewriter. Unlike today's computers that allow writers to instantaneously vaporize mistyped letters, rearrange paragraphs and spell check entire documents, a manual typewriter is unforgiving. One mistake meant you had to start all over again with a fresh sheet of stationery. And this particular letter had to be perfectly written.
Riley is a professor of communication at Virginia Tech, where he teaches journalism. Aug. 15 marked the passing of an unusual Southerner, James J. Kilpatrick: newspaper editor, syndicated columnist, book author, television commentator. In the 1950s and 1960s, he was also an opponent of racial integration and a forceful spokesman for states' rights.
WASHINGTON - James J. Kilpatrick's in-your-face, conservative bickering with liberal commentator Shana Alexander three decades ago was famously parodied - and then copied for years to come on broadcast and cable channels. Even more lasting: his contributions as the nation's most widely syndicated political columnist and a dozen books on everything from politics and the U.S. Supreme Court to the use and abuse of the English language.
It has become increasingly difficult to watch lame-duck Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell -- now one of the Obama administration's quackers in chief -- constantly smear those who oppose the president's policies without yelling, "Jane, you ignorant slut! That's the old line from "Saturday Night Live" that Dan Aykroyd would employ against Jane Curtin as they spoofed the "Point- Counterpoint" debate between conservative James J. Kilpatrick and Shana Alexander on "60 Minutes." Mr. Ed would be Ms. Alexander.
