Hitchens probably thinks Fradkov is a brand of vodka.
I have one of my pop psych hunches that Hitchens' continued plunge into lunacy is part of an unconsious attempt to destroy himself. That would coincide nicely with other aspects of his lifestyle. His legacy is gone, destroyed by himself. He will always be remembered as a man who turned himself into a buffoon in public. I think it's part of a death wish, maybe along with the boozing and screwing his friends and so forth.
Nu, zayats, pogodi!
