It's all about Hitch

[Max B. Sawicky]

I seem to recall that his previous departure from
left solidarity, the 'snitchens' episode, just
happened to occur at the time his previous book
was released.  This suggests a bit more than
self-promotion is at work.

Come on-- "pathetic", he's out there selling a book on Orwell for gods sake.
Of course there's self-promotion involved to stage his own little "Orwell in
miniature defection".

My complaint is that so few on the Left, Michael Moore and a few others
excepting, have so little sense these days of creative marketing with good
timing.

Doesn't anyone else find Hitch's endless self-promotion and publicity
mongering over his "departure from the left" as really pathetic? Jesus,
resign and move on already. His astonishing sense of self-importance and
embarassing need to be noticed are really sad. And really, his columns were
never *that* good ... witty, but never high on the "wow, that was
insightful" scale ...
