Hitchens Confused on Categories

AP tipped me to this one; the quote of the month from Christopher Hitchens, reported at The Independent: Furore over Hitchens’s sapphic slip.

“Don’t know what came over me: the dear boy did suddenly seem extremely sapphic, yet I think my intuitions must have been scrambled all the same, since what I was actually thinking was: ‘Andrew really wants to have Barack Obama’s f*cking child’. Clearly some confusion of categories on my part.”
