Knee Deep in Mud

Let the Games Begin

Christopher Hitchens' new article at Slate is the first account I've seen to date to take Michael Moore's newest film to task for his use, or lack thereof, of the facts and events since 9/11. Of course nobody should be surprised that Moore is loose with his facts or that he misses a few tid bits here and there [I'm shooting for understatement of the year here] when its convenient.

Hitchens' dead sprint in the opposite direction from the politics of the left [on the Iraq issue anyway], publicly beginning with his resignation from The Nation, has been staggeringly swift. Not to mention brutal and usually entertaining when he aims his pen at the anti-Bush contingent.

He doesn't disappoint with his latest contribution.

Goddamn. I nearly came to tears of joy a few times.

I wonder if I could print this article and have him autograph it for me.
