I miss him, too! He had many friends in flyover country. I’m not sure he ever knew that. Although, I can still remember when he was first diagnosed, that religious groups prayed for his recovery and he was wonderfully touched.
It’s true that he never recovered from his brave stance to out Clinton as a whoremaster. He was locked out of tv appearances but he continued to write for Vanity Fair - not exactly chopped liver.
He took on Mother Teresa for some decent reasons and long before this author says he does. He did not like the fact that she was allowing people in her hostels to die while she flew around the world receiving the best health care when she got old. She took money from Papa and Baby Doc and when told it was stolen goods, refused to return it. This led to his amusing turn as Devil’s Advocate at The Vatican. He autographed my edition of “Hell’s Angel” and he was as the author of this article says - polite, funny and willing to spend a few minutes with a fan.
He lied about Mother Teresa and you are aiding and abetting his tired old lies. Hitchens was a left-wing, Catholic Church hating loudmouth who hopefully repented and asked for God’s mercy before he left this world.
