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
Read the rest here. And then compare it with the rest of the mainstream media's deifications: 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 excellent, uh, tribute at Red State. |
The only time the words "Includes hot babe pics!" and "Article about Susan Sontag" can go together. Unless we're talking Susan's home decorating habits.
Michelle is a cutey.
I wonder how many of Reggie White's obits mention his comments about gays. I just heard someone on the radio claim that Reggie's gay comments should be included. Since he was from the NYT, I wonder if he feels the same way about Susan.
Thanks. I listened to a piece on NPR about her and you would think that we had lost the greatest intellectual of the last 100 years.
Now I see that she was just another America-hating, racist Socialist.
Ping-a-licious Michelle alert
I have to say that I haven't paid much attention to Susan Sontag's "ideas," so I didn't know until reading this that she was a socialist dimlib. So this is enlightening; thanks for the post.
Also thanks for the pics of a lovely conservative lady. Michelle Malkin's ideas are worthy of sincere praise.
The irony is that she died of cancer. I guess the "white race" got her in the end :)
Reggie added more to my life than Sontag. And his comments were his honest beliefs. I respected Reggie for his honesty and I wish his family well in their lives and comfort in their grief.
Just what I was thinking.
No doubt that unbiased MSM will include Sontag's "white people are a cancer" quote in their obituaries...NOT!
<< Michelle is a cutey. >>
Ms Malkin is a brain.
And a Teller of The Truth.
Only the hate-America crowd feels any loss. I won't say anymore, as I'd just get into trouble with the AMs.
1) Eat a big plate of spicy beans
2) Start tape recorder.
3) Transcribe the results....
Well that too.
Obituaries usually mention who the deceased is survived by. With Susan Sontag, no one is mentioned. I guess she was a lesbian.
They eat their young.
Michelle Malkin ~ Bump!
She was, and methinks that her galpal, widow is Wendy Wasstertsein. Corrections, please.
He son informed the press of her death.
Quoting the linked Washington Times review ...
At age 17, she married social psychologist Philip Rieff, then 28, just 10 days after meeting him at the University of Chicago. The couple had a son, David, born in 1952, but divorced in the 1960s. In later years, she described her lesbian relationship with photographer Annie Leibowitz as "an open secret."
Last I had read, she and Annie Leibovitz were a couple and were raising an adoopted child together.
My mistake. And now it's a guess as to who was Frank.
For an "intellectual", that's a trifecta!;)
BINGO!
However, if you follow the link to The Washington Times, you will find it includes this:

Yeah really talk about self fulfilling prophecies.
I know what happens when I eat spicy beans. Same thing that happens when I eat boerewors too *LOL*
LOL
Does anyone remember the amazing obituary William Buckley wrote when Bella Abzug died? It was something like: She was a horrible person and will not be missed. Maybe someone from National Review will do a similar one for Sontag.
..Mrs. Sontag is "just another scribbler who spent her life signing up for protest meetings and lumbering to the podium encumbered by her prose style, which had a handicapped parking sticker valid at Partisan Review."
I never thought Sontag was handicapped, I always assumed she was a German who learned english as a second language.
Nah, she died of leukemia, which is a blood cancer.
If the white race had got her in the end, she'd have died of colon cancer. :)
Gee Susan was a real looker huh? Did she play the king who hated his # 2 son in Lord of the Rings, Return of the King?
She was a babe when she was young. She also wrote a semi-decent book on "camp." But that was four decades ago.
bttt
I'll tell you what, just looking at their nasty faces and their puny, fabricated rage makes me want to go to war with them. Let's get it over with.
Guess if you pulled the camera back and shot her head on she wasn't too bad.
Not a bad shot of her. In most pictures she affects the deadly seriousness of a bi-polar academic. Like I said, she wrote a decent book on one aspect of pop culture -- camp in the early 60s -- and then kind of went off the deep end.
I'm trying not to laugh but you're making it hard on me.
This writer notes, without remorse, the passing of Susan Sontag.
My sister-in-law brought me a few bags of Simba boerewors-flavored chips from SA.
Damn they are good!
she described her lesbian relationship with photographer Annie Leibowitz as "an open secret."
Shouldn't Annie change her name to Lesbowitz? Sorry, I couldn't help it!
Boy it's hard but I live in live in Southern California I could get all the SA food I want.
B*tch dies. Services at 11:00am, Thursday.
Is that a pic of Susan, or of Morley Safir in a black wig?
It hurts to say this, but I love her for her brain.
She is a light in the darkness to the liberal media.
Don't blame her on the Germans, as she's clearly Jooish
With those looks who needs brains?
