An array of right-wing websites are cock-a-hoop about Christopher Hitchens's conversion to their corner. This "critique" of Michael Moore's "mockumentary" ((c) Counterpunch - I think) has Hitchens surpassing even himself for lies, innuendo and pure pandering to rightist notions. It's worth reading as it must surely be the final nail in the coffin of Hitchens's credibility. I've seen F911 and it indicts Bush in a way that wouldn't particularly upset, say, Kerry. So why the apoplexy from Hitchens? Is the hard right Hitchens's pension plan? Was he so shell shocked by the other 9/11?* And why do rightists carry on calling him "liberal" and "contrarian"?**
* If so the shock was delayed by some days.
** There are so many, this is just picked from a Google list.
