Oh. You noticed that, Chistopher? Way to wake up, guy. I guess.
Hitchens Speech Free Republic Treason Rally - July 24th, 1999
And just look across the road and try and do what I do every day. Just make a resolution every day to drop it into the conversation … don’t have to be a fanatic or a Clinton-Hater or anything, but – the occupant of the Oval Office is a rapist, a war criminal, a psychopathic liar and a man who doesn’t just respond to but solicits offers to sell his office to any bidder including foreign dictatorships.
This is an absolutely extraordinary record. Tomorrow in the Washington Post (at least if you read the wrong section of it, because it won’t be in the A section), you will see that Mr. Ozanam Sali (a perfectly decent Sudanese businessman) is going to be given leave to sue in Washington, D.C. the $30,000,000 of your and my money which I think he deserves because his factory was blown up in Sudan on August the 20th last year because Clinton needed a target of opportunity on the day that Monica Lewinsky went back to the grand jury.
And he doesn’t only abuse--in addition to being a rapist and a war criminal—he doesn’t only abuse cruise missiles … Think of the money those cruise missiles costs. Think how many special prosecutors you could have gotten for the cost of just ONE cruise missile. And [applause walks on him] missiles to destroy the only pharmaceutical plant in one of the poorest countries in the world to save that face. To save that face.
Can you eat enough to vomit enough? How’s the menu coming?
The $30,000,000 will be money well spent. In the meantime, not just were people killed in that bombing and rocketing on the day Ms. Lewinsky returned to the grand jury, BUT the World Health Organization reports there is now what it calls a “raging epidemic” of meningitis in Sudan. Meningitis is one of the most ghastly ways to die – if it kills you. If it doesn’t, it will leave you blind and insane. It mainly attacks the young and the young adults. They reckon 20,000 at the moment and climbing.
Why should there be such an epidemic in Sudan in now? Why is the World Health Organization appealing? Primarily because the only pharmaceutical plant in the country was blown up to save THAT FACE. The face of a rapist … the face of war criminal … the face of a psychopathic and pathological liar … the face of a bully and a crook … and the face of a man who sold his office to any bidder but preferred to sell to foreign dictatorships...
