I think next time Hitchens and Galloway debate it should follow a different format. Perhaps something more along the lines of “Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.”

Just imagine: Two men enter, one man leaves. Could Condi stand in for Tina Turner?

Update from Hitchens:

Thanks to all who wrote to take my side after the debate last Wednesday. I wasn’t actually on very good form and was feeling a bit hot and, after awhile, a bit sick. For example, when told I was a butterfly who had metamorphosed back into a slug, I ought to have been able to summon lepidopteral correctness and reply that butterflies pupate from sturdy, furry caterpillars. But others did notice this for me”â��?and a man who can’t tell a slug from a caterpillar is liable to miss the difference between an Iraqi dictatorship and an Iraqi democracy.

Who the hell is this Galloway guy? I’ve never heard of him before.

If I weren’t surrounded strangers, friends, and acquaintances who take all of that seriously and as the total truth, and happen to dominate the politics of this city of 8+ million people, I might find it more funny also.

I take this stuff more as eye-opening humor. The Viet Nam Vets Against the War guy is hilarious. Bragging about his connection with Michael Moore. And where else would I have heard that the Cindy Sheehan Brigade had moved to Covington (north of Lake Ponchartrain) & setup shop??

Then I wondered if KPFTx was a PBS affilitate … if so, not so funny.

Yeah, and if you listen to the first mp3, it is really terrifying. Litsening to the pre-debate nonsense on radio I feel like I’ve been stuck in a small padded cell with the lunatic leftists who camp out at Union Square with their megaphones spouting vile hatred and twisted rhetoric. It’s torture.

Been out of town, just got back & am downloading audio now. Thanks, J.K. … KPFTx.org has mp3s (1-5, each about 10MB) available for download. Their forum is a horror of left wing hate.

Maybe I can catch that. I assume Hitchens (the only reason to visit Slate) gave him his comeuppance.

Streaming audio only … a problem for me … does anyone know of a transcription or an audio download of this affair??
