The Hitchens-Galloway Confrontation . . .
Posted by Pejman Yousefzadeh on Wed Sep 14, 2005 at 11:50:16 PM EST
Ended up being a one-sided slaughter conducted by Hitchens. As expected, of course, but some will try desperately to argue otherwise. Money quote by the good Mr. Belton:
. . . Contests generally make more edifying viewing if the two sides are playing at the same sport. Still, as interesting as was the juxtaposition of Galloway's broguish union-hall rhetoric with Hitchens's drawled sophistication, Hitchens's ability to deflate Galloway's points, and his greater variety and command of argument, made it rather more one-sided a contest to my mind than I would have hoped it to have been.
I'm just glad that Galloway was treated with the negative respect he deserved after making comments that were both inaccurate and insensitive about the September 11th attacks--in New York of all places.
