We make no apology...

A moment of brilliance from Hitchens in his debate against the grimy, slobbering, slime ball, George Galloway in 2005, sadly taken out of context (though I invite you to rectify that matter by clicking here and indulging for a full two hours):
There are probably some people among you here who fancy yourselves as
having leftist revolutionary credentials. In fact, I can tell you do from the
zoo noises you make, and the scars you can demonstrate from your long
underground twilight struggle against Dick Cheney.

It's tricky, but you'll get the idea if you endure Part Three where Galloway makes continued reference to the "neo-con fundamentalists who run this country": Pat Robertson, George Bush, Michael Ashcroft, and Dick Cheney. I admit that that's quite funny in itself, but Hitchens illuminates the absurdity about two minutes into his rebuttal in Part Four.

I've just rewatched those clips and I realised that I've got it wrong. Move everything forward one. Galloway makes the necessary speech early in part 4 and Hitchens brings it up in part 5.
