Christopher Hitchens is spectacularly gifted in this field, which is why I continue to read him even after he succumbed to "the Orwell temptation." As delightful as Hitchenss most recent rhetorical sledgehammer is to read, I cant help noticing that Hitchens requires the urgency of combatting anti-Semitism abroad to excuse this digression from his day job of rewriting Bush Administration press releases.
I have very little interest in commenting on Mel Gibsons re-make of Battlefield Earth, and less interest in viewing it. All I have to say is that any film whose dialogue is entirely in Aramaic and Latin wouldnt earn a dime without a raging controversy to give it free publicity.
