Christopher Hitchens

He is a master of invective. Strange how the brits do this best. sample:

>> provoked by curiosity into reading Brock, and I would say without any hesitation that he is incapable of recognizing the truth, let alone of telling it.<<

>>Still, I wanted to take an extra shower after trudging through this dismally written, pick-nose, spiteful and furtive little book. It glitters with malice and the more cowardly kind of "disclosure"; it's a dank, filthy tissue turned inside out<<

Christopher Hitchens skewers David Brock. Delicious.

I agree with the adjective. Hitchens does know how to right. And I agree, mostly with the judgments. However, as usual Hitchens is a bit over the top. He threw out the baby with the bathwater, to use the old cliche.
