Shorter "Liberal Hawks Reconsider the Iraq War""

[womzilla]

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?

Hitchens' brain does seem to have been eaten by the same aliens who got Dennis Miller, but I'll always admire him for having the cojones to write an expose of Mother Teresa (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/185984054X/103-8112851-8156616?v=glance).

Alas, poor Hitchens. He used to be really good (I've got several books of his on my shelf), but he's determined to become the 21st century Whittaker Chambers.
