It’s Christopher Hitchens, once again, with a scathing “obituary” of Mr. Falwell that made me laugh out loud. I really want to leave this whole thing behind and float above the fray, but I just had to quote one last tribute to the “faith-based fraud,” for a few laughs:
It’s a shame that there is no hell for Falwell to go to, and it’s extraordinary that not even such a scandalous career is enough to shake our dumb addiction to the “faith-based.”
UPDATE:
I just got around to watching this, but goddamn, if Hitchens doesn’t just lay it out there so perfectly! I agree with every word he says in this interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper. Well done!
