The Huffington Post has closed down the comments section on an AP story about the blood clot in Cheney’s leg. Little Green Footballs: “Looks like the Huffington Post is going to have block comments on all posts about Dick Cheney from now on, so that the ‘minuscule portion’ of Arianna’s readers who exult at the idea of Cheney’s death don’t embarrass her again.” Meanwhile, one of Arianna’s celebrity bloggers, HBO’s Bill Maher, has come out against Arianna’s attack on free speech, and walks right up to the line of endorsing an assassination on the VP. Said Maher, “I’m just saying if he did die, other people, more people would live. That’s a fact.”
