note

Posted on 16:20 by Unknown
So a reader points out, correctly, that however correct I am in my assessment of Christopher Hitchens's recent piece on Noam Chomsky, to entitled the post "Christopher Hitchens is full of shit" is cheap and uncalled for. She's right. I stand by the arguments in the post but using that terminology was degrading, and more to myself than to Mr. Hitchens. It was stupid, I shouldn't have done it, and I'm sorry.
