Crooks and Liars: “Last night Andrew Sullivan and Christopher Hitchens discussed Iraq, Bush and Kerry’s joke with Paula Zahn on The Situation Room. Following a short exchange between Paula and Christopher, in which Christopher was upset being referred to as a conservative, the conversation turned very interesting and Bush ended up being lampooned by the end of it.

Sullivan: ‘Iraq is the foreign policy version of Katrina. This President can not handle the reality anymore.’
It is a scary day when you got Andrew Sullivan and Christopher Hitchens appearing together and they both are blasting Bush, while defending Kerry. Sullivan has become more of an outspoken critic of the Bush administration (as well as the Republican Party as a whole) lately, but Hitchens now seems like he is really changing his position on everything.”
