The Gospel of St. Christopher

May 30, 2009. C. Kelly, for THE STAR (US). Christopher Hitchens can't pick a real fight. He's like an intellectual biker swaggering into the campus bar, tipping over drinks and pawing the women. While he marauds, the regulars stare down into their beers. This is a man who's said of Mother Teresa, "I wish there was a hell for that bitch to go to." This is a man who's called the Muslim practice of wearing a headscarf "witless plagiarism" of Judeo-Christian tradition. This is a man who's above rabbit punches. He's going for your throat.
