the drunken popinjay responds

[PST]

a word of advice mr Hitchens, if someone has just accused you of being a popinjay, you might wanna come up with another insult in your response..

<snip>
"And now, on the same turf, there struts a little popinjay who defends dictatorship abroad and who trades on religious sectarianism at home. Within a month of his triumph in a British election, he has flown to Washington and spat full in the face of the Senate. A megaphone media in London, and a hysterical fan-club of fundamentalists and political thugs, saw to it that he returned as a conquering hero and all-round celeb. If only the supporters of regime change, and the friends of the Afghan and Iraqi and Kurdish peoples, could manifest anything like the same resolve and determination."

3. Sounds like his synapses are starting to crash and burn

Someone should tell Hitch to just pop another whiskey, the popinjay!

He is so far past his sell-by date that he is curdling before our very eyes.

4. ROFLMAO, Galloway stunned him so badly it took him this long

to respond! I see Galloway also introduced Hitchens to a new word, 'popinjay' and Hitchens is so proud of himself he just HAD to use it in his response, lol.

5. That was both good and original, as Samuel Johnson

is supposed to have said. But the parts that were original weren't good, and the parts that were good weren't original.
