He Who Has a Sharp Eye for Things Jewish does it again.
Firstly, both have been doing their best to avoid having to go to jail despite receiving remarkably lenient prison sentences given the seriousness of their respective offenses.
Roll it around on your tounge, the prose, savor it. Do not, however, try to duplicate it, for its quality is its alone.
Hitch’s Gallahadian side often comes to the fore where damsels are in distress, so his defence of The Crimes of Paris (sorry, I couldn’t resist that one!) is totally in character.
Of course you couldn’t have resisted such a clever witticism, Canis Lupus. And you couldn’t have said it better yourself. As if Hitchens could even find the fore where damsels are in distress, blue eyes be damned.
But what chivalrous impulse could have prompted Sir Christopher to allegedly pen a letter to the Court begging clemency for Libby? (Let’s discount the drunk emails to the judge accusation as a bit of maicious libel.)
Through his vast network of insiders (not of the Establishment!) news of the knighthood of Hitchens reaches the desk of Greywolf first. As we are shown, when Hitchens is not pulsating with chivalrousness, he’s penning letters and — no doubt — authoring books, always in a deep, drunken stupor.
If you’ll scan that Slate column again, you’ll see that Hitch used his Paris piece to link her sad fate (cue the violins!) in the hearts of his readers with that of Libby (break out the man-sized Kleenex!), who commands much less public sympathy.
We only scan Slate, for there are no pictures. But notice how Canis Lupus creates a complete mood in his prose: sound (the world’s smallest violin!), touch (man-sized Kleenex for wolf-sized clean up after Greywolf is finished drooling over Hitchens’ latest dirty and suggestive exploitation), and sight (you’re reading it!). No doubt The Master of the One Line Comeback, deep in his bunker, is busily developing the necessary technology to include smell.
We won’t touch the photoshopping. We will simple gape.
(Searching for his weapons of Hitch-destruction) Greywolf wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
Hypomaniac.
