the multiple hypocrisies and evasions of Mr. Hitchens, who once called
himself a socialist but eagerly enlisted in the "clash of civilizations" on the 
side
of the neo-cons with the likes of Tom Friedman,  are by now so twisted it's a
fool's errand to attempt to untangle them, but two threads dangle
tantalizingly among the participles in his latest denunciation of anyone to the 
left of
himself as  -- too far right!

1. It's somehow sinful or sinister for Nader to speak to a salon of GOPers
run by Grover Norquist but Hitchens himself feels comfortable enough in that
company to call Norquist by his first name.

2. It was good and generous of Nader to agree with Hitchens except on the
issue of impeachment of Clinton.

What most has Hitchens's rhetorical panties in a bunch is his fear the
Democrats, with Nader sniping at them on the war, will abandon their pledge of
allegience to the Empire, leaving Hitchens naked and snivelling as its last true
champion from his redoubt at Vanity Fair.
