Huffington Post writer murders lover and commits suicide

This is just awful.

Via Fox News:

A Huffington Post writer stabbed her former lover more than 200 times with a screwdriver and then tried to conceal the slaying, PalmBeachPost.com reported.

After committing the gruesome crime, Carol Anne Berger, an election correspondent for the Huffington Post, reported her former flame missing, then fatally shot herself a day later, police told the Web site.

Lt. Gary Chapman said Jessica Kalish, 56, a software executive, was found in the backseat of her BMW on Oct. 23, the Web site reported.

Kalish had been stabbed with a Phillips-head screwdriver 220 times, he said, with wounds concentrated in the back of her head, back, arms and face. A blow to Kalish’s neck likely killed her, Chapman told the Web site.

Berger and Kalish recently had hired an attorney to sell their house and split the revenue. Kalish had met another woman and spent hours absorbed in cyber-dates with her new companion, PalmBeachPost.com reported.

“We are all very lucky to have Carol Anne be part of the Off the Bus family,” a Huffington Post statement read, referring to the Web site’s special election section. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of Carol Anne Berger and Jessica Kalish.”

Unlike some of my fellow Bloggers on the right, I will refrain from the usual nastiness that follows something like this. I’ll just say that it is a tragedy and that I’ll be praying for the families of those involved in a tragedy, such as this.

If you’d like to go read the asinine ramblings of the assholes, who couldn’t even say anything decent… Go here. May God be their judges.  I thought that the Conservatives and Republicans were better than this. Perhaps that was a gross misjudgment.
