From Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
Full marks to Hitch for pushing the “no, no, WE’RE the underdog” narrative, but this is a stretch.
That said, I do like it when people punctuate something that’s clearly false with “c’mon, everyone knows that” -- it’s the ultimate sales job. I once convinced a buddy that Sting used to be in The Rolling Stones using that technique.
