Christopher Hitchens defending Kerry? bashing Iraq and bush ?!

[noahmijo]

What has happened here? I know the guy was once a Trotskyist and there is no doubt that he harbors a massive intellectual capacity, but what's going on? did he switch sides? is he trying to save face?


Here's a link btw to the video:

1. Even when he was a seeming Democrat he hated Clinton. He's always

contrary. Perhaps he is taking better care of himself.

[Spider Jerusalem]

16. He's never been a "Democrat"...

a SOCIALIST, yes, but that's hardly the same thing--and I can think of plenty of reasons why someone of a leftist political persuasion wouldn't like Bill Clinton too much (actually, it's really hard to think of a reason why a professed leftist would LIKE Clinton, come to that).

2. He trashed Kerry yesterday. Must have had more water in the glass today.nt

[LittleClarkie]

3. Bill O'Reilly defended Kerry a couple of days ago

Dogs and cats living in sin! Armageddon! Ieee!

[stanwyck]

8. Bill-O does the two-step all the time

it's meaningless. He's the most desperate man on television. He's the constantly grasping social climber. After trashing the Dixie Chicks continually, he rushed up to them at a recent performance, gushing. He's two-faced. You can't trust anything he says. Watch his appearances on The Daily Show -- he's Mr. Moderate. Mr. Smarmy Charm. Then, back to Fox, he's the pit bull.
The man is tofu. He takes on whatever flavor he's around. His reality is, he's white, bland, and squishy.

[LittleClarkie]

9. Generally that's true, but I've heard him say such things before about Kerry

that he knows him and knows that he's a true patriot.

4. ,,,,,,hic................n/t

[Carla in Ca]

5. Wow, Sober today , Chris?

n/t

[seabeyond]

6. even he sees how DISGUSTING what repugs did to kerry, yet

our dems seem to have a tough time with it. find it absurd

[Mr_Spock]

7. Did I just see a pig fly past the window?

Yikes!

[Ikonoklast]

10. Desperate to get on the right side of things

and be relevant. Either that, or the Scotch ran out and clarity briefly crept in.

Never liked or trusted his pseudo-intellectual smarmy mug.

[hlthe2b]

11. more likely a Trogladite (!)

Depends on if he's sloshing back single malt or blended whiskey....:eyes:

Yeah, he is an intelligent, arrogant, pompous, asshole lush. But, at least he has the good sense to try to cover his idiocy, however belated.

[smirkymonkey]

12. DT's???

:shrug:

[roamer65]

13. You know its bad when Hitchens...

can even swallow the bullshit anymore. Sullivan was great on CNN. He's completely come to his senses and calling the election exactly as it should be..."an intervention". I love it.:evilgrin:

[eleny]

14. Falling backwards.....

*PLOP* ++

[Marie26]

15. This is why he's drunk all the time

His glorious leader has let him down.
