Brawl of the Brits: Hitchens vs. Galloway
Countdown: 24 Hours. Hitchens vs. Galloway in NYC, 7:00PM EST
George Galloway (Gorgeous? Or Gruesome?) is the British MP famous for “electriying the United States with his appearance at a Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations hearing on May 17, when he turned the proceedings into a condemnation of the war in Iraq.” He’s currently on tour supporting his new book, appropriately titled, “Mr. Galloway Goes to Washington – The Brit Who Set Congress Straight About Iraq.” Oh and he’s touring with, um, Jane Fonda. More familiar to us yanks is Christopher Hitchens, the one-time Trotskyist, former Nation writer, who had a public transformation after 9/11 and emerged as vocal supporter of the war in Iraq, and an enemy to fascists everywhere. Can you imagine how many friends this guy has lost over the years?
