Very sad to hear about Charles Krauthammer…he once told me that he did not fear death but did regret that he would not be around to find out how everything turned out. Everyone loved Charles and for good reason – a very decent man.

Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott issued a statement tonight on his passing:
We are deeply saddened by the loss of our colleague and friend, Charles Krauthammer. A gifted doctor and brilliant political commentator, Charles was a guiding voice throughout his time with FOX News and we were incredibly fortunate to showcase his extraordinary talent on our programs. He was an inspiration to all of us and will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his beloved wife Robyn and his son Daniel.
