Financial Times reports on a lit fest in Wales attended by Mr. Hitchens:
At the debate a few hours earlier, he lost his temper when someone asked about country band the Dixie Chicks and the flak they copped for criticising George W. Bush’s Iraq policy.
“Each day they dig up dead bodies in personal death camps run by a Caligula dictator,” Hitchens shouted, “and I’m being asked to worry about these fucking fat slags – do me a favour!” The debate broke up soon after.
So I guess we know what he thinks about the Dixie Chicks and the lying-about-WMD-fanatics.
