CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS ON HILLARY CLINTON IN BOSNIA

POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN BY DANIEL FINKELSTEIN IN THE TIMES

Christopher Hitchens has become perhaps the most ridiculous intellectual in Britain.

I'm certainly not a Hillary supporter, but Hitchens words almost raise sympathy for her.

What a shabby old propaganda trick he employs here, first telling us of his own perilous arrival in Bosnia before attacking her with scorn.

After the idiotic blunder of the decade in his supporting and praising Bush's blood-bath in Iraq, Hitchens should learn to keep his articulate lips closed more often.

But he cannot. He is a compulsive.

He has what some psychologists used to call "verbal diarrhea."

His book on atheism is out there now trying to win some sequel revenues to Dawkins' immensely successful book. How much can be said on such a thin subject?
