Hitchens is a Douche

I know that title is a bit of a “duh,” but he’s being even douchier than usual, going on about the need for civility in the great Iraq debate (as if there’s only one debate, anyway): “As I never tire of saying, heat is not the antithesis of light but rather the source of it.” Oh, barf.

The Green Knight was there with the well-deserved left hook:

It's nice to see that the man who called the Dixie Chicks "fucking fat slags" and whose debate with George Galloway was nothing more than an exchange of bratty insults, who smeared Cindy Sheehan by the illegitimate means of guilt by association, who called Al Gore "completely nuts" and wasted the 1990s attacking the Clintons and Mother Theresa has suddenly discovered civility. Maybe it'll even last a few days. But I doubt it.

Luckily, I feel no obligation to be civil toward the loathsome Hitchens.


Just go away, you sloppy fat drunkard, and take your incessant, inane bloviations with you. Oh, and Andrew Sullivan as well.

(Mr. Shakes, btw, has been thrilled to discover, upon moving to America, that the useless plonkers who were quite rightfully disdained for their oafish attempts to intellectualize a resoundingly stupid brand of conservatism back in Blighty, have been welcomed with open arms by the Yanks.)
