I was right objectively, possible wrong subjectively, and I really care ironically.
As I said he would a few days' ago, Christopher Hitchens appears to be supporting Kerry in the election, or at least he's not supporting Bush. A bit of a flip-flop.I say appears as it would take an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of years typing away at typewriters to come up with something as tortured as his contribution to this piece by Slate writers.
Not perhaps that anyone cares.
Over in Britain, heading into an election with Hitchens appears to be getting confused with the American one, the Tories appear to be in all sorts of trouble. ICM's October Guardian poll has Labour six points clear on 37%, suggesting last month's poll wasn't a 'rogue' one, and according to Anthony, it appears that Blair's announcement of his plans to go on for another 5-6 years is responsible.
I would suggest it was time for Michael Howard to go quietly, but for the Tories changing leaders is probably as pointless as changing managers is for the Scottish football team.
