I disagree with your assessment of Clinton's presidency--and I think we can agree that not just anyone wins a Rhodes scholarship. As for Hitchens, he's hated Clinton since 1992, by his own admission--but if you want to say that the Clintons are no saints, I'll gladly agree. They've done many awful things.
Heidegger is brilliant, but dangerous. Besides philosophical evil can at least be taken seriously. Clinton was just a grab-ass.
