[lbo-talk] Ho Ho

[andie nachgeborenen]

This is of course pathetic and contemptible; Hitch is
now devouring his own rotting body parts to live. It
is very sad. But the rest of the piece here cited is
both hateful and stupid. I believe that in very short
order, really no more than a year, Hitch has
recapitulated and intensified David Horowitz's slower
self-immolation. What a terrible fate for anyone, and
especially for one who shone as brightly as Hitch once
did, to be the farce that repeated Horowitz's tragedy.
