Hitchins is an eedjit.
Sadly, even having an English accent can’t stop you from being an ass sometimes.
He was on ‘Real Time with Bill Maher’ a few weeks ago and irritated just about everybody on the panel with his humourless and pompous diatribes, and didn’t even have to good grace to stay on stage and shake hands at the end of the show.
As for Kerry and his inability to tell even a scripted joke…it must seem like Manna from Heaven for the Republicans at this late stage. If they play it correctly they may still be dining out on it up to Polling Day. Pity that Kerry isn’t actually running for anything this time around, or the Dems would be in real trouble…;-)
