Desiring Machine

Say what you will but Christopher Hitchens has always been at least entertaining. I particularly like his new pugnacity.

I wonder if he has been feeling a bit sheepish about his support of Bush and Iraq. He must not hear the end of it from all his left leaning personal friends. Perhaps not. But he does keep it real and for that I can find forgiveness no matter how tragically wrong he has been in recent years about foreign policy. I do think the tenacity in his contrarian viewpoint is genuine, even if he does see the political writing on the wall and recognizes that there will be much less airtime and honorariums for Bush war apologists.
