No kidding. What is the beef people have with the article?

People complain about Counterpunch being a "tabloid" when this list is 
having a discussion about Christopher Hitchens' penis? It must be the

I'm in regular contact with somebody who is doing relief and rebuilding 
work in New Orleans. Anybody want me to run this article by that person?
