It was Christopher Hitchens came out strong supporting Bush, though he mentioned he was a liberal. He said that his father served in Navy & he said that Real Veterans don't brag about medals like Kerry. I never seen anyone like him strongly defending Bush on Afganistan & Iraq. Before him, Sullivan & Russert appeared like dirt.
I love to hear or read anything Hitchens has to say. His articles in Vanity Fair are the ONLY reason I still subscribe to that rag. I would have dropped it years ago otherwise.
Once on cspan, Brian Lamb had both Christopher and his brother Peter Hitchens on to hash it out together. It was a fascinating hour or so, which I taped because they're 2 of the most amazing talkers/thinkers around.
Peter is a conservative (though was once a Socialist) and it was well worth hearing these 2 debate each other.
Yes, from what I remember, their father was career military in Britain, they spent some time growing up on Gibraltar, I seem to recall.
Peter's columns are definitely worth looking for in British papers/websites. Looks like his writing appears in the Mail on Sunday now.
I always keep hoping that one day Christopher will leave the left as his brother did years ago. He seems to be inching this way albeit slowly.
