Okay, in the interest of full disclosure, anybody who knows me knows that, from time to time, I like to put the sauce away, so I'm not saying anything like that.
However, Christopher Hitchens is "elevating" drunkening ranting to a new level of incoherence . Not as incoherent as his attempt to explain away the Iraq War and his tubthumping for it-no, this is sadder, more pathetic. Imagine if William F. Buckley had a child with Dean Martin's stage persona...
Hugh? Hitchens starts out saying race is irrelevant in post-Plessy v. Ferguson America, completely looses coherence around paragraph 3, and seemingly finishes with an argument that Obama's race matters. What kind of cough syrup is this guy dinking anyway?
ReplyDeleteI do agree that Obama should not get a pass on the church affiliation.
