Paging Dr Id:

(Curmudgeons ... forgive my interruption to your running commentary of insults ... I'm just trying to locate Dr. Id this afternoon ...)

Doctor! I've been looking all over the place for you.

Did you happen to catch "Hardball" with Chris Matthews on CNBC last night? Focus was the dubya/Gore debate ... one of the last guests was Christoper Hitchens, who contributes to Vanity Fair magazine, among a host of other media ...

He is now my favorite political pundit ... absolutely hysterical in his analysis of Bush's mind-boggling ignorance -- and the reluctance of the media to say so, because of their own sensitivity at being perceived as biased liberals.

Here's a link to a site containing quite a bit about him:

And here a link to an article, "Why Dubya Can't Read," October 9, 2000, in Minority Affairs:

(Oops, same link -- just click on the headline link if you want to read it:)

>> snip:

In the high noon of the age of information, the Republican Party packages and presents a provincial ignoramus who can neither read nor write. Woof.

I'm trying to find a transcript of his remarks on "Hardball" last night ... if I do, I'll post it on the SI "GEORGE W BUSH" board ... popular place these days, yes?

PS, Dr Id -- appreciate your oosting links on these boards to Slate/The Complete Bushisms.
