Christopher Hitchens Diagnosed With Cancer

Christopher Hitchens, the outspoken Vanity Fair columnist and author, announced Wednesday he has been diagnosed with cancer and must undergo chemotherapy. The author, 61, was forced to cut short the book tour for his memoir, Hitch. A longtime smoker, Hitchens quit in 2008 "out of fear," and his wife said he wanted to "live to see his political enemies defeated."

Hopefully he'll last at least 6 more months so I can add him to the deathpool.

What kind of cancer?

Mr. Hitchens, a former smoker who recently quit, made the announcement in a statement through his publishing house on Wednesday.

“I have been advised by my physician that I must undergo a course of chemotherapy on my esophagus,” he said. “This advice seems persuasive to me. I regret having had to cancel so many engagements at such short notice.”

You keep using that word.
I do not think it means what
you think it means.

He's not dead yet is he? I kinda chalk this up to his new book tour.

Not really a fan but some of his shit is so unbelievable, it must be true.

Esophagus cancer = death. A friend in Australia has it. When we said goodbye to each other at the end of my visit in April, we both knew it would be our last goodbye.

Hitchens is on no side but his own, which is probably a compliment to him, first of all.

But I personally have no use for any cheerleader of the Iraq War or pal of Ahmad Chalabi, especially liberals who should know better.

Well he's always been out of synch with the "new left", all the more reason for him to stick around now that class and the economy are back on the agenda.

Roger Ebert sends his best wishes and recommends that Christopher start recording his words now for the personalized speech software later.

i don't agree with a lot of what he says but i appreciate the way he says it. he is witty as hell and a journalist at a point in time where we don't have a lot of provocateurs who are willing to put themselves out there like he does and makes no apologies for it. he entertains me.

His atheism rhetoric should go over well in the cancer ward.
