If you're into Hitchens tune in tonight...He'll be doing the religion and
politics and Bolton thing with Deb Orin of the New York Post....We lead however
with Lawrence Eagleburger to do Iraq and Bolton....Later in the show we do the
gay marriage debate with a Connecticut state legislator (Democratic State
Senator Andrew McDonald ) where a gay civil union bill recently was signed into
law...He was instrumental in passing the bill...On the other side, we'll talk
to Republican Oregon State Representative Dennis Richardson who is fighting
that type of legislation in his home state...Great little debate, that one...
Finally we talk to PBS anchor Jim Lehrer, a man who needs no introduction and
brings a worldly gravitas to the table in a singular fashion...He's got a new
work of fiction we'll chat with him about...And of course we'll get into
current events...We'll also ask him about this little sugar plum
