Hitchens’ Decline
I think Christopher Hitchens must have serious debts to pay. Why, otherwise, would he be spending so much time and energy “slumming” it with a no-name like Douglas Wilson or ‘debating’ someone like Marvin Olasky (editor of the embarassing newsweekly World)? I guess since the mainstream press hasn’t really paid attention to God Is Not Great, Hitch has time on his hands. But seriously…
These engagements with the fringe are snoozers. How about Hitchens and Cornel West? Or Hitchens toe-to-toe with Rowan Williams? Or even Jeff Stout? Methinks Hitchens is picking safe targets (a trick he learned from his friend, W, I guess).
