alexander cockburn is dead, not long after speaking ill of the great christopher hitchens. Read an excellent piece about the ignorant fool entitled 'a bitter life'. The orwell hating son of a soviet double agent hois with his own petard. I'll stop short of saying 'perhaps there's a god after all' and just say...it does make one wonder.

"A bitter life" is an interesting piece, if a little too vehemently anti-Left to be taken as in any way objective.

I do agree though with what he says about that disgusting piece that Cockburn wrote about Hitchens. When Hitchens was tearing into someone, he could be nasty but there was invariably real anger behind it. Cockburn came across as someone who resented Hitchens, his straying from the party line and his increasingly greater fame. That was pretty much confirmed when Cockburn called him an "attention seeker". Talk about projection!
