It would be worth his time to mention that many many people who get cancer in the US would get no treatment at all-- and lose those 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 years that he may get-- due to our barbaric lack of single-payer health care.
It might be a decent thing to highlight for all those people who stupidly say that "everyone gets care here-- if only through the ER," -- which is a goddamn lie-- cuz no ER gives you Chemo do they?
Viva El Hitch!
Wow, he seems really upbeat and robust in this interview-that's so good to see:):)
I like when he says, "I've used many other organs to Blasphemy if it comes to that" ha..
I want Hitch to know he changed my life. And I feel as close to love to him as a stranger as is possible. Sappy, perhaps, but true and genuine. Thank you.
Fight on Hitch.
Also, My kids and I have nightly Hitch studies.
This interview is fucking amazing.
Hitchens answers the "Tony Blair is a war criminal" question better than he ever had
"Al Queada murdered people last week, you want to say thats TOny Blairs fault. Dont absolve the real murderers".
"Al Queada murdered people last week, you want to say thats [sic] TOny [sic] Blairs [sic] fault."
Al Capone murdered people, therefore John Dillinger was innocent. QED.
