Hitchens is a master of the studiously absurd.

Peckian and puckish, he charms even those he torments.

Christopher Hitchens is many things, no doubt, but I confess I have never heard him described in quite that manner.

Still, what you say has merit.

I believe others have stated that he suffers from pretentious diction. ;)


"... And of course, since the fish rots from the head (and also the guts, the heart, the leaping piscine genitalia and the most extreme and flapping fins, in a positive orgy of moral and linguistic deliquescence)" ... Christopher Hitchens


May I have another, please?
