cocaine has a high that last minutes where as crank last for hours and thats what the people who I used to know, all dead now, said was the reason they did the meth. personally I never liked either and only tried each once to find that out. I'm 63 and in relatively good health other than circulation in my extremities and my lungs. Yes that part too

Lungs because of working in dusty environment, circulation not sure as my cholesterol is right where it should be, both hi and lo.
I suspect agent orange may have had something to do with it but no proof of that nor will the VA admit it might.

I was kinda reminded of Billy Mays when I saw the video of Breitbart ranting at Occupy DC.

Behaaaaaaaaaaaaave yourself! Stop Raping People!!!

Just like Billy Mays, it was a sales pitch for some worthless bullshit.

...combine that with anger issues and what appears a lack of taking care of himself (look at how disheveled he looked in that video) and you have all the makings of a "widow maker". I wouldn't be surprised if coke shows up in a toxicology report but from what I've read over the past 24 hours it appeared he had a bad ticker that finally ran out of him.

One of the reasons this explanation doesn't seem to work for Breitbart.

no cocaine, just the occasional bit of weed. I haven't had a heart attack yet, but I have had lots of heart problems the last several years, and I'll be having mitral valve surgery in a month or so.

Some people just pick the wrong parents.
