Celebrated Jewish personalities such as Hitchens, George Steiner, the late Tony Judt and Alan Ginzburg, Noam Chomsky or Susan Sontag, all of them friends of Mr. Hitchens

Is this saying that Hitchens was born Jewish. All of them friends of Hitchens? Including himself? Somebody 'splain' that statement to me please.

Didn’t know that Tony Judt was dead. Good, but why didn’t someone send me a notice. I would have gone out and taken a good healthy crap in the woods in his honor.

Ginsburg - almost worthless
Chomsky - a communist psychopath
Sontag - weird but once in the while she told the true about the Left

Did here Hitchens on a panel a few years ago. A formidable debater/speaker. Shame he was on the wrong side most of the time.

However, I’ll bet he’s giving old Satan some shit about conditions down there. “Where’s the damned air conditioning? Where’s the iced tea? Where are the women? I’m not interested in Helen Thomas, thank you.”
