In any case it’s unnecessary since that’s one of the few things you can wish for that’s already guaranteed to come true.

WaPo: “Ailes died after a fall at his Palm Beach home on May 10 caused bleeding on the brain, the Palm Beach County Medical Examiner’s Office said. Ailes fell in his bathroom, hit his head and was bleeding profusely. He was taken to a hospital by attending paramedics, the Palm Beach (Florida) Police Department said.”

I’ll admit to having a difficult time suppressing some giddiness that day. It was harder to suppress the day Ronnie Raygun finally met his end, though.
Can you imagine how much life over the last 30 years would’ve been without either of 'em? I expect the whole planet would’ve been better off by a lot.

Chris Cornell and then Roger Ailes… Hmm…
I’m not sayin’ we should sacrifice our precious 90s musical legends in order to rid the world of evil, I’m just saying we should feed Dave Grohl some Big Macs and tequila just to see what happens to Grover Norquist.

Yes, Red Skelton; at least according to Halliwell’s Filmgoer’s and Video Viewer’s Companion (9th edition, page 250).
I looked up Harry Cohn because I dimly remember reading something else about his death, but it must have been in another book. It runs along the lines that someone who had to prepare a speech for the funeral tried to come up with something nice to say about Harry, and after quite a while of thinking really hard, all he got was “Well, he’s dead now.”

That’s precisely why a lot of people will attend the funeral. To make sure.
