SRSLY that wasn't an attempt at hyperbolic reverse-polarity political satire done in the style of Frontpage 98?
Cockburn has a long history of writing about semitism and anti-semitism. I have even read one of his books; Idle Passion: Chess and the Dance of Death. The book has a lot about former world chess champion (and renowned nutbar) Robert J. Fischer. I recommend reading it.

As to Cockburn's other politics, he's pretty much a mixed bag. "Libertarian" comes closest IMO, though he would probably resist being tagged with that.

I suspect that Felix was right about BO, however. I had hoped BO would rise above being a Chicago Machine Politician, but I don't guess he will. He's won the Peace Prize AND caught *leader-of-the-free-world-itis* so he has ALREADY become worried about his precious "legacy"!

Why the hell do we always get stuck propping up corrupt regimes so the Halliburton's of the world can make their damn percentage??
