He has been tearing a whole into the wingnut-left for a while now for their saddleling up to Islamic fascists. I think he has a couple of fatwas on him already!

I love this part!

At last, this was the Hitchens we had all come to see -- not the pudgy man at the pulpit, picking his teeth with his glasses, but the chain-smoking bon vivant, rapier-witted popper of ideological balloons, tipper of sacred cows, Trotskyist neo-con, accomplished drinker of Johnnie Walker Black, and the only man in the world who could denounce Mother Teresa as a promoter of poverty and then be invited by the Vatican to comment on her beatification.

Me too. I saw him on AC360 a week or so ago and from the preview they showed to hype his interview I thought the guy would be a complete crackpot. Then I watched the interview and couldnt disagree with a single thing the guy says...he is very well versed and all of his points are well researched and hit home with me. I think I might pick up his book.
