Hitchens Debates George Galloway TonightTonight's the big debate between Hitch and Galloway. You can check out the case against Galloway on Hitchens' site, which also has a link to the live webcast feed from the debate. Fawning on dictators, posing and posturing for a state-controlled press in front of a coerced audience, managing to overlook the existence of death squads and torturers, and praising the invasion and occupation of neighboring states—this is the same George Galloway who in 1994 flew to Baghdad and addressed Saddam Hussein in the following terms, commiserating with him on his failure to annex the Arab and Muslim state of Kuwait:Your Excellency, Mr. President, I greet you in the name of the many thousands of people in Britain who stood against the tide and opposed the war and aggression against Iraq. … I salute your courage, your strength, your indefatigability. Very Strong Content Warning For Obscenely Graphic Insults With the Flavor of Timeless Roman Poetry. Well, I'm just glad that Hitch won't be getting personal about Georgie: In a recent interview he made opprobrious remarks about the state of my midriff, which I will confess has—as P.G. Wodehouse himself once phrased it—"slipped down to the mezzanine floor." In reply I do not wish to stoop. Those of us who revere the vagina are committed to defend it against the very idea that it is a mouth or has teeth. Study the photographs of Galloway from Syrian state television, however, and you will see how unwise and incautious it is for such a hideous person to resort to personal remarks. Unkind nature, which could have made a perfectly good butt out of his face, has spoiled the whole effect by taking an asshole and studding it with ill-brushed fangs. That line reminded me of Catullus. He was a Roman poet, and considered quite a good one. In between writing about the normal stuff poets write about -- flowers, stars, Hyperion's bow, love, faggity shit like that -- he wrote "poetry" villifying his enemies (quite numerous, thankfully) in the most obscene terms. Like this classic, found at Seldom Sober: Really, I shouldn't have thought that it made any difference Now that's what I call poesy! If they'd taught me stuff like that in high school, instead of e.e. cummings' fey twaddle, I might have continued that love affair with the written word I'd begun when I started reading Peanuts as a tyke. Johnny Coldcuts is a big Catullus fan; the damn sandwich never shuts up about his "genius," as a matter of fact. He's especially fond of this one, which he says "changed my life and gave me an idea of the man I wanted to be, called simply Catullus 16: I'll fuck you up the ass, and you can blow me, Excuse me. I need to wipe my eyes. I've been positively moved to tears. Brilliant, Catullus. Absolutely brilliant. I think I have a "man-crush" on you, but not really, because you're long dead, unlike Powers Boothe, who Dave From Garfield Ridge is in love with. Kinda puts rap put-downs in perspective. Truly old-school, as it turns out. Would anyone be interested in a poetry-of-Catullus styled flamewar? How Did I Miss This One Update?: From the same link directly above. Catullus 23 I've got to tell ya that, based on these screeds, I don't think homosexuality was quite as accepted in the ancient world as queer-theorist scholars have led us to believe.
