Shorter "Liberal Hawks Reconsider the Iraq War""

Andrew "The Poor Man" Northrup, ascended master of fast snark, does a brilliant condensed version of Slate's "round table".

Shorter Christopher Hitchens: Supporting the Iraq war gave me the opportunity to feel superior to the largest number of people, so the choice was easy, and it gave me much, much wood. Opposition to the war springs from an irrational hatred of puppies and ice cream. Now, if you all will excuse me, I'm late for my publicity stunt. Collapses drunk.

What the hell is Hitchens doing in a group of liberals, anyway? And why am I up so stupidly late?
