As always, what offends me most about the latest Mamet paroxysms highlighted by Anderson and Larison is not their remarkably wrongheaded politics but their utter banality. Or, more precisely, the banality combined with a particularly self-satisfied arrogance. It’s not just that he’s put forward the eight billionth howlingly inapposite Neville Chamberlain analogy, but that he seems convinced that this represents a profound contribution to American political discourse.

I’ll have a much more negative assessment of Hitchens than SEK in a bit, but it says something that even Hitch (not exactly immune to presenting shallow neocon lies as if he’s discovered the theory of relativity himself) could see right through Mamet.
