I think we can assume that Hitch did inhale.

Christopher Hitchens is touting his new book on the TV rounds - an anti-God Crusade - funny he is strongly pro Iraq War just because he hates Moslem fundamentalists - even though he supports the Palenstine cause.

He is my hero in a way in that upon Rev Jerry Foulwell's death Chris said "I wish there were a Hell because Foulwell would then be in it.

And his diatribe against Mother Theresa - calling her a sham, etc. God-to love that.

His brother's a mental too.

George Galloway (MP for Bagdad Central) greated Hitch as follows:

"You're a drink-soaked former Trotskyist popinjay,"

Now, Galloway is a frotteur of the first water but he's bloody good at insulting people. You can read what he said to the US Senate committee here.

Took one to know one.

Lickspittle is a very good word
