Austria's Haider Dies in Car Accident

Austrian politician Joerg Haider, a champion of the far-right who drew criticism for perceived pro-Nazi comments, died in a car accident Saturday, Austrian police said. He was 58. Haider was driving alone in his official state car on the road out of Klagenfurt, in southern Austria, when the car went off the road early Saturday.

Why is "far-right" hyphenated, if it's not being used as an adjective?

Amazing what passes for journalism at CNN these days. Klagenfurt's nice, though. They've got a big fountain downtown, shaped like a dragon. Very cool.

"Austrian far-right politician Joerg Haider was driving at twice the speed limit when he died in a crash early on Saturday, court officials have said."

Darwin award.
