Highly entertaining portrait of Hitch by Blumenthal -- a predictable one, though.

Get a free day pass and read it -- too long to post here.

Blumenthal's anger toward Hitch is barely concealed, yet he paints himself as Mr. Rational, above such petty displays. Then, toward the end, comes the clincher:

"As we walked out of the room, Clinton put his arm around me and made a remark that echoed what I had told him the day the scandal broke, in our Oval Office conversation. 'You know," he said with a grin, 'you shouldn't be hanging around crazy people.' I laughed and said, 'You know, that's good advice.' "

Touching.
