That he didn't, Hitchens surmises, is probably due to his racism. We have entered a strange realm here, where divination meets character assassination. Like someone who gets tipsy on one glass of cheap champagne, Hitchens gets so buzzed on the black-baby scenario that it isn't until three pages into the tale that he gets around to telling us it proved to be false. And how convenient. Hitchens can claim he's fulfilled his ethical obligations as a journalist while spreading a smear story.
Young womanhood can sleep soundly tonight.
Vicar Hitchens is on the watch. I t's interesting to note, though, that Monica Lewinsky is only occasionally the recipient of this paternal benevolence. Luckily for Hitchens, there are other maidens whose virtue needs defending. The feminine victim can have no better friend than Christopher Hitchens. As far as Hitchens is concerned, to take Jones, Broaddrick or Willey at anything less than face value, to question their motives in any way, is tantamount to a smear.
