In Vanity Fair this month there are two articles that intend on causing maximum damage to their subject, see here. The most effective is that on Sarah Palin by Todd Purdum, a hatchet job expert. For some further thoughts on Palin as Vice President and heaven forbid President, see the tutor2u link to a montage of interview clips from the 2008 campaign! The other article intent on damage in Vanity Fair is by a disillusioned Christopher Hitchens on Gordon Brown, reiterating his likeness to Richard Nixon. There is also an in-depth article on the relatively recent American politics-focused website Politico, link here.
There's also a fairly blunt Christopher Hitchens article on Gordon Brown, describing him as a "fruit that was rotten before it was ripe"
