I often disagree with Hutch...but this one is right on the nose.
Not only that, the man is worthy of respect. You don't find that much in opponents any more.
Oh and I forgot: One heck of a writer.
I loved it when he gave maher's audience the bird.
"I often disagree with Hutch.."
Hitchens gave the finger to Bill Maher's sycophantic audience a few nights and told them to perform an unnatural act on themselves.
He is the best thing that has come along in Journalism in this country for a very long time. "Hitch" has a reputation for hitting the bottle, but if it has dulled his senses, he started out with a lot more than most.
And yes, I know he was a flaming liberal for most of his career.
I must say...I know he has been a lib...a Soviet lover and all that...
But when I heard him DEMOLISH Geoge Galloway in a debate, I was in my car saying "YES! YES! YES""
He may be a lib, but he has the war on terror and the battle for Iraq framed perfectly. And both this article about Plame, and the Niger Yellowcake article he linked to are just brilliant.
