@ Jebbie re: Christopher Hitchens
Regarding the suggestion about Christopher Hitchens voting for McCain, Hitchens said: "Um, I would consider it, yes. I mean, he's a serious man, and a man with a lot of character and actually a lot of charm. The sort of person that I would prefer to say this there should be more of in the senate. I'm not sure that a guy like that is volatile shall we say and should be president of any where."
Jebbie, I see your point. But Hitchens said he would consider it. He said he was serious and charming. He said their should be more like him in the senate. But in the last sentence I missed the word "not".
When I heard him on the TV, he seemed to be saying that McCain could be president of anywhere.
My mistake.
Still, what about the "serious" comment? I supposed it is to be expected from Hitchens who was a vocal Iraq War advocate and remains unrepentant.
