Patricia Heaton, outspoken conservative and star of ABC's show The Middle, memorialized a controversial blogger, Andrew Breitart in a post on the deceased new media mogul's Hollywood blog.

Andrew Breitbart was the shoulder to cry on, the coach who inspired, the leader who was fearless, wrote Heaton on Breitbart's website. Just knowing that Andrew was out there, fighting the fight for the rest of us, gave us all the strength to hold our ground when we faced hostility.

Heaton is known, outspoken conservative in Hollywood. She continues to memorialize Breitbart by saying that he was an intelligent and thoughtful individual.

Anyone who cared to look could see that Andrew was a thoughtful, well-read, deeply informed person who welcomed all, treated everyone the same, and gave everyone a shot, she said. He was most happy when he could engage in a serious exchange with his opponents, and only became the animated provocateur when he encountered mindless bigotry and hatred.

She concluded her post by saying Breitbart was a family man, who adored his wife and four children.

My heart is breaking for them, for the loss of their wonderful husband and father, wrote Heaton. If it's any comfort at all, I hope they know that all of us who had the privilege of knowing Andrew will do all we can to keep his memory alive and pick up and bear the standard he held so well.

Hey G-Town Gal: If your parents have to pay for your birth control, maybe they should get a say in who you sleep with! Instant birth control!

If every Tweaton sent Georgetown Gal one condom, her parents wouldn't have to cancel basic cable, & she would never reproduce -- sound good?

Just caught up on all the debater re Ms. Fluke's testimony. Mea culpa! We have diff opinions but I was too flippant in my attempt at humor.
