You Have To Love Chris Hitchens!

I thoroughly agree with your comments on Christopher Hitchens. He is one of my favorites.

I would love to have a dinner party with C. Hitchens, Laura Ingraham, Peggy Noonan and Ann Coulter at the dinner table.

William F. Buckley wouldn't be bad to have there as well, now a apply a little Gin to get them to tell us how they really feel !!!!

Any others to add to the table? Ben Stein, Dennesh Desouza, Ramish Ponnoru, perhaps, what a hoot.....

P. J. O'Rourke (a drinking buddy of Hitchens's) for sure. Hell, make it a talk show and call it "The New Algonquin".

And Dennis Miller too.

Hitchins has not only long proven himself to be a disrepectful rabid anti-Christian bigot, but apparently he has a pathological (or financial) need to rattle everyone's cage -- be it liberal OR conservative. In short, IMO Chris Hitchens is a mercenary whore -- and a despicable one at that who'd just as soon stab my kind in the back...or even YOUR kind.

So glad to see that you're not being taken in like so many others on this thread. You have him pegged right.

He's a "down-home boy" from Flint, who now resides on Park Avenue...

Sorry for the late pings...have been out of town all day and just got back in!

P.J. sez, "Good on ya, Chris!"

PING to the newly-created REPUBLICAN PARTY REPTILE ping list, named after our spiritual founder, P.J. O'Rourke. what is the Republican Party Reptile? It is a creature of the eighties. It’s neoconservatism with its pants down around its ankles, the Rehnquist Supreme Court on drugs, a disco Hobbes living without shame or federally mandated safety regulations. The Republican Party Reptile supports a strong defense policy, but sees no reason to conduct it while sober. The RPR believes in minimum government interference in private affairs—unless the government brings over extra girls and some ice. In short, the RPR is the new label that our political spectrum has been crying out for—the conservative with a sense of humor and a healthy dose of depravity.
