Hillary Clinton, "[I]f you think of women who really have been put upon by men and by male supremacy, like Benazir Bhutto, as well, you can't imagine her resorting to this kind of self-pity or suddenly decide to feminize herself in the most clich&eacute;d way, of such -- by welling up and sobbing." Hitchens later added: "I just think that if she knew how it made her look, sort of alternately soppy and bitchy, she'd stop it. But she can't help herself, can she? She just can't." http://mediamatters.org/items/200804050001 Sat, 5 Apr 2008 17:05:05 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200709120003 On MSNBC's <em>Morning Joe</em>, columnist Christopher Hitchens asserted that "[t]he Democratic candidates are all pretending to be as pious as they possibly can be," and stated of Sen.

Lewis "Scooter" Libby were not involved in the leak of her identity. However, Armitage's role as Novak's first source is not inconsistent with Rove's and Libby's involvements in the leak -- both were original sources of the information for two other reporters. http://mediamatters.org/items/200609010001 Thu, 31 Aug 2006 21:39:26 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200607210001 Christopher Hitchens concluded that Robert Novak's July 12 "tell-all" column and his July 16 appearance on Meet the Press "dissolved any remaining doubt" that the Bush administration "outed" Valerie Plame, but presented irrelevant facts and assertions in support of that conclusion. http://mediamatters.org/items/200607210001 Thu, 20 Jul 2006 20:27:30 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200603240001 President Bush and senior aides have claimed that Americans are increasingly disillusioned about the Iraq war because the mainstream media report only the violent and tragic events occurring there -- an accusation that has simultaneously been advanced by an array of conservative media figures. http://mediamatters.org/items/200603240001 Thu, 23 Mar 2006 19:19:46 EST
