Hitchens On Moore

Hey, folks. You know, technically, it is "tomorrow."

Ah, who'm I kidding? I'll be honest - I just had to point you to Andrew Sullivan, because he's got Christopher Hitchens on Michael Moore, and it's just so good.

"But speaking here in my capacity as a polished, sophisticated European as well, it seems to me the laugh here is on the polished, sophisticated Europeans. They think Americans are fat, vulgar, greedy, stupid, ambitious and ignorant and so on. And they've taken as their own, as their representative American, someone who actually embodies all of those qualities." - Christopher Hitchens on "Scarborough Country," last night. [Wednesday, May 19th -- Ed.]

NOTE TO ANDREW SULLIVAN: Sorry for lifting the post whole, but I just had to. I hope you consider a double link from this post an acceptable sacrifice.

NOTE TO MY ADORING FANS: <crickets chirping> ...

Okay, fine -

NOTE TO THOSE WHO (sometimes) READ THIS PAGE: I'll likely have another conglomerate post for you later today (you know, after I've slept)...stay tuned!
