Shorter Christopher Hitchens:

It has just come to my attention that the people I've spent the last 3 1/2 years of my life trying to help consolidate power have religious opinions exactly the opposite of mine, which they would like to ram down my throat. This is deeply regrettable -- although the people I really hate are liberals.

CORRECTION: Given Hitchypoo's decision to throw in his lot with Clinton-hating crazies such as the Free Republic crowd many years before Bush's Middle East adventures, I should have said "7 years," not "3 1/2 years."
