So Hitchens had dinner at the Edwards's house last night.

[AP]

I just read that over at the Edwards blog. It turned my stomach a little bit. I thought I'd do some of my own research on this and I came accross this crazy Q&A with Chris Hitchens: http://www.americasfuture.org/viewBrainwash.cfm?pubid=210

Is there anybody out there now with the right character to be President?

Well, maybe John Edwards. He probably wouldn’t want my endorsement, but—I wrote a piece about him—

This was in Vanity Fair?

Yes, and it was a decidedly lenient piece. He and his wife impressed me. I’m glad that people like them still want to get into politics. Right now, politics drives out everyone of any integrity. So we’re left with people who want to do politics as a career.


...

Well, since you believe in Edwards, what is it-

I don’t believe in him. I mean, I told him I wouldn’t vote for him.

Well, why not?

Because I’d vote for Bush. The important thing is this: Is a candidate completely serious about prosecuting the war on theocratic terrorism to the fullest extent? Only Bush is.
