"I
Am Not a Slob!"
Hitchens: Snitch Envy?
by Jack McCarthy
If still proof is needed that besotted-and-proud-of-it
Christopher Hitchens is losing his marbles (beyond his nefarious
activities with the "Get Clinton" lynch mob, his weird
embrace of Margaret Thatcher, his snitching on his "cousin"
Sid Blumenthal), I invite you to read his latest mad outburst
(The
Real David Brock) in the current edition of The Nation.
Here Hitchens launches a nutty broadside
against self-confessed right-wing hit man David Brock and his
new book, Blinded
by the Right: Confessions of an ex-Conservative.
Ignoring Brock's theme--that he sold
his soul for a few pieces of silver to a movement he had little
in common with-- Hitchens hatefully hones in on minutiae. For
instance, he lambastes Brock for the sin of getting the date
of Ted and Babs Olson wedding wrong. Did Hitchens have an engraved
invitation at hand?
But, finally, the source of Hitchens'
ravings comes into full view. And that would be Brock's portrayal
of Hitchens as slovenly and unkempt. In a petulant and hissy
fit Hitchens says amongst friends he's famous for cleanliness!
Hitch old boy. Let's roll the tape.
Look at yourself as you appeared during
the Blumenthal affair. Unshaved, mussed up hair, slurred speech.
You were a fucking mess!
Recall if you will that humorist Harry
Shearer quipped on "Le Show" that you looked like you
just rolled of the bed of a homeless shelter. You looked like
Mayberry's town drunk Otis Campbell--minus the charm.
Not to mention that ole Otis would never
snitch on a relative.
Most revealing, Hitchens scowlingly lambastes
Brock, for--get this--pretending to the throne of another slovenly
snitch, Whit Chambers.
A sure sign of madness is one's lost
sense of irony.
Poor Hitchens has certainly lost his.
And now he's running madly through the pumpkin patch with visions
of Chambers and Thatcher running through his brain.
And insanely uttering, to paraphrase
Nixon, "I am not a slob!"
