William Graham — one of the heirs to the Washington Post-Graham fortune and son to Phil and Katharine Graham — has died by suicide, much like his father.
The Post published Will’s obit Saturday, saying the 69-year-old lawyer died last Wednesday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to his older brother, Donald.
His father, Phil, also committed suicide in 1963 by shooting himself with a shotgun. Will’s mother, Katharine, served as primary publisher of the Post for more than 2 decades thereafter.
She played a crucial role in the Post helping bring down President Nixon during the Watergate scandal. She also led the charge in continuing to publish the Pentagon Papers despite being challenged by the U.S. government in court.
Meryl Streep plays Katharine in Steven Spielberg‘s new movie “The Post.” What’s even more eerie here … Will killed himself 6 days after the premiere in D.C., and 2 days before the film’s limited release.
What’s black and white and red all over?
What’s in the movie that set him off? Shame?
Ironically he was anti-gun.
Another permanent solution to a temporary problem? requiescat in pace
“Speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act.” Geo. Orwell
Alot of people can not handle the things life throws at them. Whether ghosts from the closet or a stupid mistake. But to kill yourself is to say you were weak and couldnt face the problems. Where there is no trust or faith in God usually leads to bad decisions that will cost you eternal life in heaven or hell. But i understand. I have been there and but by the grace of God i could have been him. Im not judging hin thats not my job.may God have mercy on his soul….
The mindset of the liberal has come to its disintegrated end which is anger, confusion, and depression. The course was set with Marxism and gained social momentum in the 1960s where drugs accelerated the movement along with government programs. We are finally at the point where liberals are in an anti-life backwards world where to them evil has become good and good has become evil. Everything they have touched has become affected. Education has become the opposite as they teach stupidity and students have become morons. Government programs meant to lift people out of poverty has kept them in perpetual poverty. Government subsidized health care keeps people in perpetual sickness. The justice system delivers injustice. I could go on. In the next years expect liberals (even that word has become reversed in their world of semantics) to go crazy nuts via violence and suicide. Stay locked and loaded.

@Billy has it nailed. Disliberals have corrupted language and the ability to think.
Spin their language 180 degrees and the truth reveals itself
Net Neutrality
Affordable Care Act
You get the idea.
Lies promoted by WaPo. Global Freezing/global warming/wait!!!! Climate change.
I’m not mourning. I think of the left’s body count against the innocent and I spit on his grave.
Everytime I read something from that rag I think a little of me dies inside too!
Needs more Dave Brubeck.

The lengths these people go through to inflate gun death statistics is sickening but if they have to then I prefer this way.
Ironic that approximately 63% of gun deaths in this country are by suicide. A fact that his newspaper wouldn’t report honestly.
“Ironically he was anti-gun.”
Ironically, most gun deaths are suicides.
Somebody better go check on Ted Turner.
All that frickin $$$ and ain’t happy.
I would travel the world looking for
that perfect wave and have a giant automotive
garage to build wild hot rods and rock crawlers…
Anybody know where Hillary is?
Sucking on a H&k sub compact 40?
As long as the Media remain unapologetic (heck, they remain defiant), then they get absolutely NO forgiveness. From insignificant me, but more importantly from God.
May God have mercy on them.
Gotta hunch he missed out on this prayer: “Lord, what can I do to make your day better?” Have never met a truly happy liberal. The more liberal, the more miserable. Surprised he lasted this long.
That’s a shame.
Say what you like, it’s just a shame.

Get a place in Sicily and be king of the village – or be the local recluse.
Sad. But I guess hopelessness is the progeny of nihilism.
izlamo delenda est …
Depression can be hereditary. I won’t guess why he offed himself. I’m too busy to care.
@judge roy bean
Never heard that prayer before. Lord, what can I do to make your day better? We always beseech stuff.
I really like that. A lot.
I wish this man had gotten the help he need to control his depression and leftism. I pray his family is consoled by the Holy Spirit in their grief and abandon Marxism. Amen.
I apologize for my earlier comment.
Politics makes us mean spirited sometimes. Making light of suicide is never acceptable
Dumb as the Post….
Some people will do anything for publicity.
How long will it take to blame Trump by the snowflakes?
It’s hard to imagine the depth of despair experienced by people who choose suicide.In his case maybe it comes upon self reflection of a life lived with utter contempt for, and actions taken from his position of power to destroy decent people who don’t share his view.
