The Not-So-Good Die Not-So-Young

Another remembrance of the late and not really lamented though often demented Christopher Hitchens:

To come to the point, Christopher Hitchens could be a monster. He left his first wife while she was pregnant. He betrayed his close friend Sidney Blumenthal, who worked for the Clintons, by deposing, to a notary public no less, something that had been said at a private dinner – at the height of the Lewinsky business. One of Sidney's friends, coming to live in London, said: "The main problem with the British press is that Christopher Hitchens is insufficiently loathed."

A really nice guy, that Hitchens. He was a typical opportunist who had a small talent of stringing a series of words together that made some sense.
