1. Fuck that alcohol soaked nutter.
Hell I drink but I can't imagine consuming so much that my mind perforates so badly as that wanker's has.

He has trivialized himself into a half-rate hack.

So much for bad rubbish.

14. I'll never forget the time
He came on Dennis Miller's old HBO show with a drink in one hand and a smoke in the other, like a character out of Wodehouse.

I like to think that liberals are above this kind of personal attack, but I make an exception for Bitchens' almost ostentatious public personality, as if his casual-bordering-on-slovenly dress sense and half-in-the-bag demeanor are just the badge of a bold iconoclast sticking it to the bluenoses. Even Hunter Thompson shows greater public restraint...

22. Normally I don't get so vulgar.
But Hitchens is an anchor around our collective necks and I'm sick of him.

3. Bollocks to snitchens!
Will he ever go and sod off?


After he dries out for about 28 days then I might listen to him! Maybe, if he gets the okay from his counselor.

8. Are you sure
he said "think"............

Sounds like "drink" makes more sense, as in:

"It must be obvious to anyone who can drink at all that the charges against the Hussein regime are, as concerns arsenals of genocidal weaponry, true."

25. laughing out loud also
Edited on Mon Jul-28-03 01:12 AM by anamandujano
Please tell us you've emailed this to someone so that it gets back to Snitch. I'm sure Sid Blumenthal would love a good laugh also.

Here's the link to email the Mirror--at the bottom of the page.

13. What an easy job Hitchens has...

He is free to hold strong convictions with no evidence and in the face of a reality that completely contradicts his views.

I'd love to get paid for being delusional.

16. He's gotta be very close to hitting bottom
Seriously, he's one step away from just going on a show and just slurring attacks and curse words.

I used to enjoy reading him in The Nation, then he got hell bent on bashing Clinton, and it was all downhill from there...

18. Christopher Hitchens: The liberal with no liberal views on anything
That way the right can call him an "even" liberal: "Well, EVEN liberal Christopher Hitchens agrees with us..."

21. Who is this idiot?
I was about start a thread about him 'cause he was interviewed on the CBC. He was talking about Orwell and doing a fairly good job, but suddenly he started Clinton bashing.

23. Hitchens used to be a favorite of mine.....
Needless to say - NO MORE.
The last year, he has gone off his rocker.
It sounds like it's almost time to send in the white-coats for Christopher Hitchens.

24. Show us the proof
dear Christopher.

Blather all you want in support of your boy king, but there is no proof to the allegations. It is now July 2003. What you thought in Sept. just hasn't played out. So bite me.
