(Thing is.. I knew a 'Hitchin' once)

As he's a now long-running muckraker, I'd expect him to have savaged Bill as nicely as he does here. Only trouble with that logic chain (and many others since) is that there are many nits to pick re motivation.. as opposed to 2020 hindsight. Take the bin-L camp affair. I've heard now variations which include "he Was there and had just left" / or hid in one of the omnipresent tunnels / or.. So in the end (oh the irony) - the cost of Bill's having defunded human intelligence (I hate the sound of humint and all who make up such stuff) = was his source right? almost right?

Now if... all had gone well and - he'd nailed bin-L just then..
(I just don't buy that that action was as utterly stupid as the Wag-Ed or Wag-Dog folks love to assert. I also realize: I will never know. S'OK. Don't need to know everything)

Well? And if Lincoln had sneezed, doubled-up just as Boothe fired. Or Joe McCarthy's tail-gun exploded from a dud round stuck in the barrel. Or.. the Romans had gotten All of that disruptive cult they were wisely feeding to the lions?

Maybe we'd have minarets instead of office towers. Abacii instead of Microsloth. But ya gotta love those folk who believe in causality, dontcha?

I suppose that the books hawked in the margin are not of Hitchen's choosing (?) Coulter? and the Strange Death of Vincent Foster; more or less a melange of the "really balanced" takes..

I've no idea what Hitchen's accuracy score is (we still can't reach a fairwitness on the cel fone) but fershur, especially as speaker - apparently reading from notes, however - he may be our 2nd-rate Mencken du jour. Like to have seen him, Bill Buckley & Gore Vidal! debating [anything at all] in the old days - keeps the language alive.

Today ya takes what ya can get, as expectations decline with the territory.
