Hitchens vs Gorgeous George
Dammit. What could be one of the best political debates in memory, between British politician George Galloway and Christopher Hitchens, the writer, will take place in New York tomorrow night, and I just heard about it and cannot get a ticket.Its sold out. Will try to listen on the radio.
Galloway is one of the truly vile people in public life. He has always had suspiciously close ties to Arab dictators, including for a long time, Saddam Hussein. He recently spoke belligerently before the US Senate, and there was not one of them who could effectively take him on. That will not be the case with Hitchens, who fears no man, and unlike any US Senator, can actually debate on his feet.
