Robert McNamara

Haunted no more: http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/07/...bit/index.html

Learnedmano had him. I may be the angel of life this year, as he marks the third dead celebrity in the last month who was on my list in prior years but is not this year. Leads me to believe that all the Kennedy/Shrivers will be around in 2010.

Learnedmano is having quite the July with MJ, Karl Malden and McNamara. Patrick Swayze should be looking over his shoulder for the Angel of Death!

Re: 2009 Celebrity Death Pool Board

According to the S.F. Chronicle's TV critic, word around the journo biz is that Walter Cronkite is about to have a terrible horrible no good very bad day, which means Chinaski and I are about to have a moderately good one. Fingers crossed!

I am usually more like the Angel of Life -- I think it's just that some of my perennial picks are inevitably reaching the end of the line. Except for Michael Jackson; that was just a lucky guess (lucky for me, not so much for Michael).

Re: 2009 Celebrity Death Pool Board

Promising outlook for Flinty, barely and tmdiva. But this raises questions for scoring -- do they get credit if he kicks it in 2009 but they keep it under wraps until 2010, á la Weekend at Bernie's?

He's mean enough to last longer than Patrick Swayze, who has the same cancer and wasn't expected to make it into this year.
