DARK DAYS INDEED: Sullivan's "e-mail of the day" is too good not to repost.

"I was there for the Hitchens-Gallowat debate last night. I'm a moderate lefty with uncompromising pro-regime change sentiments. Hitch came out and was his dazzling self. There is no one alive with his talent for disputation. He hit masterfully all the blunt and subtle points of the the pro-regime change argument. In respons, Mr. Galloway stirred up a pep rally with buzz words catering to the lowest common denominator and, tragically, elicted cheers and raves. A sad night indeed. I see now, for once and all, the "left" is truly not interested in reason, logic, or even humanity. It's a self-sustaining mob mentality of Bush hate and free-floating paranoia. I'm deeply disturbed by the anti-war factions feverish embrace of a man such as Galloway. I see the writing on the wall. The left has already become the right. They do not care about internationalism, freedom, or just causes. They walk around in search of another reason to denounce Halliburton. Dark dark days."

Exactly!
