I went to the 92nd street Y to watch Hitchens interviewed by Salman Rushdie. First thing that needs to be said about this debacle is that it was boring. The whole thing lasted about an hour, and it’s a shame the place charged most of those suckers 30 bucks for the trip.
However, before rehearsing his pretarded word change games ("Good Expectations") and limericks, Hitchens blurted out something rather astonishing: he supports the Arizona immigration law. Turns out, Hitch is a big fan of racial profiling. Since he earned his citizenship the old-fashioned way, he said, why shouldn’t others? They’re all just as white, Oxford educated and British as he is, after all.
He even suggested - strangely, though, that's Hitch - that “Bosnians” should be brought over in order to counter the “Anglo-Hispanic” aspect of America. I’m not making this up. Hitchens is not a fan of Mexican immigration. As if we needed more reasons for the man to be waterboarded beyond 11 seconds...
Aside from his racist ignorance and a stream of unfunny limericks, Hitchens also had a lot to say about Iran. He thinks the US should invade Iran and knock off the regime there. Make no mistake about it: Hitchens is for an invasion, assuming, of course, he doesn’t have to be a part of it. That’s key. Maybe Hitch and his neocon buddies want to re-install a family member of the guy the CIA knocked off in the first place: Mohammed Mosaddeq? Or maybe not.
