[lbo-talk] Cockburn cut back at Nation

[Chris Doss]

I think they both write like precoscious 13-year-olds, and have about the same reasoning ability.

I've always despised Cockburn's writing, Hitchens on the other hand, though
a bit predictable, is someone I can tolerate no matter what he's spouting.
His stuff at *The Atlantic* and *LRB* and other longer pieces have always
been better than his weekly *Slate* or old *Nation* articles or his awful
short biographies of Paine and Jefferson.  AC has always rubbed me the wrong
way.
