How nauseating. Hitchens' ascension to the bestseller lists is enough in itself to convince you God doesn't exist.
First, Hitchens plays a leading role helping to stampede credulous nincompoops in the US/UK into supporting a fantasy-based criminal war on Iraq. Now that the wheels have come off that insane enterprise, Hitchens is back, thunderously denouncing credulous nincompoops everywhere and demanding a return to the rule of sweet reason.
This is the ballsiest, most successful volte-face since "Goldfinger" -- when Auric Goldfinger's attack on Fort Knox begins to go awry and Goldfinger, stripping off his clothes to reveal the uniform of a U.S. Army colonel underneath, begins shooting his *own* troops and starts issuing orders to the defending U.S. Army forces.
I hope Hitchens goes all the way with his Goldfinger act and gets sucked out the window of a depressurizing jet during the book tour for his bestseller.
