On the other side of the pond, Observer columnist Nick Cohen got awfully chummy with the INC as well. He boosted Chalabi and his organisation, but for some reason hasn’t talked much about it since. Nor is he happy being asked about his support for the INC back in the run up to the invasion.

If you have any doubt that Hitchens is a drunk, read the NYer profile of him — it’s been published in the last year or so.

Here’s the link

Ah, yes. Christopher freakin’ Hitchens, that one-man monument to Korsakoff’s Syndrome. The guy whose worst and most self-centered tendencies were enhanced by booze.

The man who managed to piss off Alec Cockburn with his amoral backstabbing of Sidney Blumenthal, who had befriended Hitchens and helped him uncover his Jewish heritage.

Very revealing!
from the New Yorker profile of Hitchens

Hitchens, in the clear, helpful voice one might use to give street directions, replied that [Howard] Dean was “a raving nut bag,” and then corrected himself: “A raving, sinister, demagogic nut bag.” He said, “I and a few other people saw he should be destroyed.”

I wonder who those few other people were who set out to destroy Howard Dean?

That description could apply to a lot of people, but Dean…no way.

flop sweat? check
visible liver spots? check

The man is a walking caricature.

Hitchen’s a major boozer and not afraid to show it, clearly. He also contributes his lunatic anti-Islamic diatribes to the Manhattan Institute City Journal. Jud Miller has entered the MI fold sharing company with such charming folk as Hitchens, in addition to the likes of Darth “Deadeye” Cheney. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside just to think about that closed circle.
