Though I agree with his anti-relig
ion views, the more I learn about Hitchens, the less I admire him. This essay, (the part concerning his encounter with "Dame Attila" is not unfamiliar but I still find it appalling!) only makes my doubts more pronounced.
That such a "brilliant thinker", for example, could ever be taken in by the Iraq snow-job we were subjected to by the Bush administration, makes the rest of his pontifications suspect, at least to me. And his "grudging" admiration for Thatcher is completely beyond my understanding. Is this an example of his attraction to dominatrices?
I am getting to see him, more and more, as the loud-mouthed egomaniac rather than the "brilliant thinker" he has generally been called!
Again the Huffies have apparently not liked the above remarks. Not adulatory enough?
