Hitchens is one hell of a writer. I subscribe to Vanity Fair just to read his essays. I would love to have a drink (or several) with him.
LOL. . .and for sure ;^)

I did just that at the Freeper Treason is the Reason event during the Clinton administration. There was about six of us drinking together at the bar, debating the 2nd Amendment (among other things). After everybody moved away from the bar and into the dining room, I brought him over another drink (a Johnny Walker Black) and he grabbed my hand and said with totally convincing fake sincerity, You are a very very great man.
This was back in 1998, so its weird that this interviewer insists he began turning on the left after 9/11. During his brutal and cutting speech attacking the Clinton Administration as vicious enemies of freedom and the rule of law, he asked after listing each atrocity committed by them, Can you eat enough - to vomit enough?
I would say he was way off the reservation way back then.
