Gin-Soaked Conservatives for Hitchens
There's a great piece by Kimberley Strassel about the so-called debate this past Wednesday at Baruch between Christopher Hitchens and Britain's bloviating MP, George Galloway. What I find interesting is not the description of the debate--after all, you expect logical well reasoned arguments from HItchens and basically a load of crap from Galloway--but rather the description of the crowd,

It says something about those in attendance that these Sept. 11
remarks--uttered in New York, just a scream away from Ground Zero--earned Mr.
Galloway wild applause. Another crowd highlight was the response to Mr.
Hitchens's opening request for a moment of silence to remember the 160 Iraqis
who'd been brutally murdered in Baghdad earlier that day. One man immediately
shouted "No!" as comrades began jeering and booing the journalist. America, meet
your "antiwar" activists.

Read the whole thing.
