But so many of my friends in the US do, so I try to read about it when I have time and nothing more important to do... like, say, watching the weather channel for reports on Hwy. 401 snow activity...
But I think Max is right in his estimation -- especially the last line:

The guy has never looked like anything but a cocktail circuit lounge lizard of the left to me. Maybe that's just because Canadian media don't put any history on him. He's just some snide asshole with a drink in his hand talking about his past.
Who fucking cares?
With respect, the guy is using all your wrath and angst to build a career, like Max notes. Become a media personality. And, right now, he knows he will get air play with the Right as a defector.
If no one cared about him, he wouldn't get a dime.
Anyway... don't let me rain on your Hitchens Hate Parade. Hate away... Let him earn his money...
Ken.
