I’m not sure, would Hitchins or Camile Paglia or Nat Hentoff be best as the literate leftist to play opposite Steyn?
I'm not sure I'm too familiar with Nat Hentoff. I think I heard him on Savage's program one time. If I remember correctly, he's one of the reasonable people on the left. Seems like he's against abortion if I'm remember correctly. Probably any one of them would be good against Steyn--I think my preference would be Hitchens though.
