Those of us who remember the younger Hitchens, like the Hitchens who wrote such thing as, "Wanton acts of usage. Terrorism:A cliché in search of a meaning" for Harper's Magazine, September 1986, for instance are more inclined to feel sadness. Although, that Hitchens, I'm afraid left the building long ago.

Maybe I am just a cruel, insensitive, ungracious, unforgiving bastard.

I don't remember that, actually. I remember running into you on the street shortly after I'd seen CH.
Yeah, I know his politics got really rancid, but I always liked the guy. Warm, friendly, gracious.
