"Here is the transcript from yesterday's interview with Christopher Hitchens, primarily about his memoir, Hitch 22:
HH: Special edition of the Hugh Hewitt Show, which I am going to spend entirely with Christopher Hitchens, Vanity Fair columnist, author of the bestseller, God Is Not Great, and a new extraordinary memoir, Hitch-22. And Christopher Hitchens, welcome back, it’s great to talk with you.
CH: Very nice of you to have me.
HH: Now Christopher, since we last spoke, your illness you disclosed on the web, and people will want to know off the bat how you are doing, and how your treatment is going.
CH: Oh well, I have, in case people are just tuning in, I have cancer in my esophagus, which has I think spread a little to my lymph nodes as well. And I’m two weeks into the chemotherapy course. So I feel pretty weak, and my voice isn’t what it was, but that’s supposed to be a good sign in that the amount of poison I’m taking is presumably working on the bad stuff as well as the good stuff. And this morning, I found that my hair was beginning to come out in the shower, which is a bit demoralizing, I have to say, even though it’s the least of it.
HH: Well, I know you’ve received many well wishes, and I know my audience has been among them, and I’m very glad you could make the time today to talk about this book.
CH: No, everyone’s been extremely generous, and including, well, preeminently, yourself. Thank you.
HH: Well, let’s turn to this amazing book, because we had this set up for when you were diagnosed, and I’m glad you’re back in the saddle and able to talk about it today. And I think you may be my first guest who has actually ever passed out anti-Soviet newspapers in the streets of Havana in 1968. And actually, before you were diagnosed, I had written down this question. I want to ask it, because it’s the way I was going to do the interview to begin with. You’ve shaken hands with Oswald Mosley, and General Videla of Argentina, and Abu Nidal, and a whole bunch of other people. Who’s the most evil person you’ve met, Christopher Hitchens?"
