Hitchens on George W Bush
I've never really looked into what Christopher Hitchens thinks of George W Bush, but luckily Max Sawicky has, and so here are some of the highlights :"Bush's addiction to the death cult..." which, Hitchens claimed, "touches every important aspect of what could be described as his 'politics'..."
"To use 'vile' for 'viable' might look like misfortune, but to employ 'inebriating' for 'enthralling' looks like carelessness, especially in someone with his booze and cocaine record."
"Seeking to explain away his wastrel life and his obnoxious manner--nagging problems that persisted until his mid-40s--Bush invites us to believe that he mutated into finer personhood after having a personal encounter with God."
