Unfairenheit 9/11: The lies of Michael Moore
By Christopher Hitchens
Mikey, you do not want Chris Hitchens chewing a hole in your behind; it is going to hurt.
Example: " I never quite know whether Moore is as ignorant as he looks, or even if that would be humanly possible."
Another: "If Michael Moore had had his way, Slobodan Milosevic would still be the big man in a starved and tyrannical Serbia. Bosnia and Kosovo would have been cleansed and annexed. If Michael Moore had been listened to, Afghanistan would still be under Taliban rule, and Kuwait would have remained part of Iraq. And Iraq itself would still be the personal property of a psychopathic crime family, bargaining covertly with the slave state of North Korea for WMD. You might hope that a retrospective awareness of this kind would induce a little modesty. To the contrary, it is employed to pump air into one of the great sagging blimps of our sorry, mediocre, celeb-rotten culture." |
