what a bunch of crybaby asswipes. what kind of simpleton watches this and thinks 'ohh yeah wow I guess he was pretty bad!'?

Vonnegut was an unabashed leftist who praised homicide bombers. He could freely admit his mental illnesses since he wasn't running for anything.

Happiness is a moral obligation. For a guy who had it all, it was unfortunate that he chose unhappiness for himself.

Breakfast of Champions: C

oh, I guess that's who.

There's nothing worse than a bad obituary, one like this which completely fails to understand and convey the significance of a life. From the way it was done, I'd guess the most Vonnegut the reporter ever read was the back of a couple of his books. Not to mention the subtle insinuations that Vonnegut was in it for the money/success. I mean, they made it sound like the pinnacle of his career was making a 10-second cameo in a Rodney Dangerfield movie.

One who obviously knows so little about someone else's life has no place eulogizing them and does them a disservice by doing so, though in this case, that was probably what those hacks had in mind. Bastards.

yeah really, what an terrible obituary, rather than celebrate one of the most skilled writers of our time they categorize him as some radical leftist coot... proof yet again that Fox News is all about getting the population to stick their heads in the sand and stop thinking... Vonnegut was so unhappy because he actually bothered to look at the world and see how fucked up it all is, Fox News, however, would prefer we all just be happy little sheeple who work our jobs, pay for our health care and all the other things that make those in charge ever-richer, enjoy our vices and addictions that keep us quiet, and make no lasting marks upon the world.

PowerUpvote for Spiff's comment. And what will we remember the Fox News correspondent for when he breathes his last theocrat breath?

absolutely nothing.

I think you guys are reading way too much into this.

Since the New York "literary establishment" is 99% leftist, shouldn't you be more pissed at 'your own' for marginalizing KVJ?

oh younglings, you can't agree...lol how can you not suck when u not only try, but fail at suicide? ahahahaha

wow!
Someone did not get a good grade on their essay on Vonnegut back in college, maybe...

How fascinatingly despicable!

Qm sees Leftists like McCarthy saw Reds. Where they don't exist.

And am sorry but being sane and rational is not being leftist... I believe it's called being a human being.

I would love to have Rush Limbaugh die and see what kind of ass kissery Fox News would produce then.

ahhhhhh, I love you Fox News. Just when i think my hatred for you is subsiding you manage to crap on Vonnegut. Too bad those bombers couldn't have picked a better location.
