clipped from hotair.com And yet, lest one think Hitchens was an supporter of Barack Obama, he had some choice critiques for the Illinois Democrat as well. On the Senator’s highly praised speech on race that he gave in Philadelphia during the crest of the Jeremiah Wright scandal, the Vanity Fair writer challenged members of the audience to recited a single line. “You can’t,” he proclaimed, a bit excited that his prophecy had turned true. “It was one of the most boring speeches ever made.” Hitchens also poked fun at Obama’s recent address in Minneapolis in which it was officially announced that he was the presumptive Democratic nominee. Pronouncing Obama a “megalomaniac” who had the self-delusion to suggest that his primary victory would be looked back upon as the day water levels started to recede, Hitchens mockingly declared: “Just by gathering the delegate count he has arrested the climate crisis.”
