Galloway vs. Hitchens

Useful idiots, both. Listen to their debate about the war in Iraq (via Democracy Now!). Note how the debate about the war becomes verbal tete-a-tete focusing on each man's foreign policy street cred. I have to think that this is exactly how the Heritage Foundation cheerleaders in attendance want something like this to play out. Off topic, bitches.

Seriously, do you think we'll ever have a meaningful debate about this war between two people who matter*?

Listening to Hitchens smear Galloway (and vice versa) made me recall the sagacious words of Triumph, the Insult Talking Dog: "That's like vomit telling poop it stinks."


* on some level, both you and I matter. In terms of shaping policy, we don't matter. Don't delude yourself into thinking that you do.
