I didn't read the full article in the Post, but I did read Hitchen's puff peice about Atticus Edwards ( gum chewing ambulance chaser) in Vanity Fair, and thought maybe the real Hitchens got Arkansided, and was replaced by a drone.

When people move from the left to the right, they have to do it in baby-steps. Sometimes they try to find a temporary haven in ill-defined refuges such as "libertarianism." Sometimes they clutch on to a not-quite-completely-liberal candidate as a step over to the right. I did the latter myself, a long time ago, in 1988, when I supported as Democratic presidential candidate a self-professed "flaming moderate" and hawk named... Al Gore.

But eventually you toss such idiotic half-measures aside and finally... yes... how sweet it is... you finally embrace the Dark Side.

I think that's what Dennis Miller and Chris Hitchens are both going though. Seems to me that Hitchens has just had his meeting with the Emperor.

You will be pleasantly surprised.
