HOW TO WRITE A SUSAN SONTAG OBITUARY

By Michelle Malkin • December 29, 2004 11:25 AM

Washington Times editor Stacy McCain sends along his newspaper’s Susan Sontag obit, which begins:

Novelist, radical Susan Sontag, 71, dies in New York

From combined dispatches

Susan Sontag, a critic, novelist and essayist who blamed America for the September 11 terror attacks and once declared that “the white race is the cancer of human history,” died in New York yesterday at age 71.

Read the rest here. And then compare it with the rest of the mainstream media’s deifications:

A Rigorous Intellectual Dressed in Glamour

Feminist fighter, dies aged 71

The Intellectual Risk-Taker Died in NY

Indomitable critic silenced by cancer

Liberal bias? What liberal bias?

Update: Dave Huber points to another slavering obit from the Philly Inquirer titled “A celebrity intellectual who provoked, inspired”

And Josh Trevino has an interesting tribute at Red State.
