Christopher Hitchens isn’t very impressed with the New York Times theater critic’s latest blast at George Bush:
Now, “truthiness” is a laugh-word invented by Steven Colbert who (along with his friend Jon Stewart and the other heroes of Comedy Central) is the beau ideal of what Rich considers to be the ironic. In this book and in his regular column, he gives “truthiness” a workout whenever he can. He clearly wishes he had coined it himself, and he has kept it going for perhaps a touch longer

Clinton’s remarks at the Marriott Marquis were met with little applause , and after she left the stage, several people said they were put off by the presidential candidate.
