8. Goddamn, what happened to Hitchens?
I found his earlier writing for the Nation quite good, and his Kissinger documentary was brilliant. I just can't see how a guy who could produce something as good as that doc could do such a 360 ideologically. I mean, he's like a collaborator now, isn't he? Helping the Nazis acheive their ends while covering his ass with a "hey, I wrote for the Nation" pin on his standard issue raincoat. Who's paying him? He must be receiving some hefty blackmail cash to be strutting around the way he does, shitting on everything he used to believe in.

Hey Chris, If Kissinger is deserving of a trial before the ICC, then isn't Bush, too? I mean, whose crimes are greater?

Most of all, what bugs me about Hitchens is his resemblance to Dennis Eaton-Hogg, manager of Spinal Tap....
