Hitchens is Jewish on his mother's side, an atheist and a regular contributor over the years to left-wing publications such as The Nation and somewhat less regularly to conservative publications such as National Review.

He has been eminently successful in pulling off the remarkable feat of being slobbered over politically by adherents of both the Left and the Right.

He's a drinker himself, anti-Christian, and a rather lapsed socialist, having enjoyed the bountiful fruits of the heartless capitalistic system in America where he's been embedded for years.

But it doesn't mean that this particular entry on his blog is incorrect.

That's a great take on Hitchens. I especially like the last sentence:

He's a drinker himself, anti-Christian, and a rather lapsed socialist, having enjoyed the bountiful fruits of the heartless capitalistic system in America where he's been embedded for years

Hitchens the hypocrite has a nice ring....

There is nobody on the planet who nailed Clinton the way Hitchens did. He's also very supportive of Bush and the WOT. He can't be defined with clichés.
