How shocking. Huffington Post bloggers are known to be reasonable people aren’t they? From the Palm Beach Post:

BOYNTON BEACH — Carol Anne Burger killed her former lover by stabbing her 222 times with a Phillips-head screwdriver and then took pains to hide her crime, police said Wednesday.

Jessica Kalish, who shared a house with Burger despite breaking up with her more than a year ago, was found last Thursday stuffed in the backseat of her gun-metal BMW sedan, abandoned behind a medical office at 2300 S. Congress Avenue. Her blood was splashed around the rear end and undercarriage of the car, as if her killer had tried to load her into the trunk. The driver-side window was shattered.

Examining the body, detectives absorbed what had been done to her. Stab wounds were clustered around the back of her head and stitched across her back and arms and face. Most were between an inch and an inch-and-a-half deep. A blow to Kalish’s neck probably killed her, investigators determined.

At a news conference Wednesday, police laid out what they’d learned during a week of investigation. They said the evidence pointed to one conclusion: Burger killed Kalish, a 56-year-old software executive whom friends described as worldly and intelligent, and then tried to throw investigators off her trail.

What pulled the trigger in Burger?

Her friends, the ones who can bring themselves to believe what police said about her, turn the question over in amazement.

If this could happen to someone like her, they said, what does it mean for the rest of us?

Burger, a 57-year-old writer, did yoga, had a fondness for Shark Week on the Discovery Channel and preferred to watch musicals in theaters with Dolby Sound. She recently stopped drinking coffee. She thought Jackson Browne’s For a Dancer was good to listen to when you were sad, and she refused to take anti-depressants despite her relationship problems with Kalish.

Their situation really was a bad one, friends said, but for financial reasons Burger and Kalish had continued to share the house they’d bought together in 2000.

Burger, who on Oct. 7 was tapped to cover the election for the Web site, The Huffington Post, still sometimes felt sad and isolated. Kalish, whom Burger had married in Massachusetts in 2005, had met another woman.

At 3300 Churchill Drive, Burger had her half of the house, a room and office where she would write and read and surf the Internet, and Kalish had hers, where she would spend hours absorbed in cyber dates with her new companion, friends said.

The two’s relationship was a textbook example of leftist immaturity. The report states that the two had recently argued when Burger discovered that Kalish, who had broken up with her, no longer kept an insurance policy with Burger as the beneficiary. No rational person expects someone they’ve broken up with to keep an insurance policy with them as a beneficiary on it, but Burger’s friends thought nothing of the complaints. Nor did they think it odd that women of, shall we say distinguished years, should be acting like just out co-eds dwelling in the same houses as their ex while going on cyberdates with others.

Which isn’t to say that Kalish isn’t an innocent victim of a depraved and evil individual whose selfish neediness was so extreme that she’d rather murder someone she supposedly loved then kill herself than grow up, move on and work on the things about her that drive people away. My point is that Burger was a murderous time bomb that snowed so many liberals into thinking she was some sort of intellectual and that she was a good spokeswoman for them. It should tell you all you need to know about liberals in general, and Huffington Post in particular, that a woman who stabbed her ex-lover 222 times is considered intellectually superior to you and I.

It isn’t a surprise really. Child abusing communist Alec Baldwin is a Huffington Post favorite as is wife beating degenerate Jim Lampley, a man who hid behind security during the Bowe-Golata riot while his 16-year-old daughter was alone amongst the combatants. There is video of that incident if you’re interested in witnessing the single most disgusting act of cowardice in television history. The judgment of Huffington Post editors and faithful should be called into question by all this at the very least. Why is it that the left is full of people so enamored with murderers, so willing to allow common criminals to be their champions?

Huffpo still has a tribute up to the murderess. They link to the Palm Beach Post article but don’t mention it. It’s almost like the murder of Jessica Kalish doesn’t matter.
