America's Future Foundation, Part I (what happened to the Hitch?)

Very disappointing performance by my Chris Hitchens in this interview. By the end I can almost see claws and fangs bared. He accuses others of flippancy and moral idiocy and then flippantly wishes disease upon those he disagrees with. Tongue in cheek, maybe; unflattering and unnecessary, definitely. And I do hate to see him become the plaything of a noxiously conservative group with a name like "America's Future Foundation." Breaking with the left is one thing, but do you have to jump into bed *so* eagerly with the fascists? (oops was that flippant?)
