Chris Hitchens mumble on C-SPAN!!
Does he have a thing for Bill Clinton? He was rattling on about something like the presidents and said no one has been a complete failure at the job but some shouldn't have been born and I thought he mumbled Bill Clinton. Anyone else catch that??

1. That's because he's jealous of Clinton.
Hitchens boozes it up constantly, which explains his affinity for *. He sees that Clinton is able to out-party him, yet Clinton still became more successful and more loved than Hitchens will ever be.

4. I think Hitchen's, like most drunks, suffers from erectile dysfunction, so
he is irrationally hateful towards those who doorbells are rung regularly.

2. I think he & Andrew Sullivan get royalties whenever they bring up
the 90s Clinton talking points. Maybe our talking point should be, "Oh, that's so 90s."

11. I'd do that
Sounds good to me. Since it is. Clinton's been out of office for five years now and Bush in five. It's all his responsibility. The only time they bring up Clinton is to distract from them and their failures.

9. that was the worst installment ever of that show, Hitchens was like a
pissy child, i think he waiting for Bill to insult him so he's have his excuse to walk off the set and curl up into his vodka bottle. My only question about Hitchens is how has he not choked on his own vomit yet?

12. Yes it was. He did the old "RW perspective" trick
That's what I call it anyway.

Hutchens briefly admitted that IRaq has been a complete failure and then quickly shifted the conversation to the Barbaree pirates and how that was the beginning of Islam's war on the west.

I have seen this tactic many times. They cite history ( hoping you aren't familiar with what they are talking about) and then go on a long speel about how THAT applies to THIS and so forth. Hutchens was true to form but it has almost nothing to do with today and only serves to make him think he is smarter than the audience.

Did you see him actually black out on the Daily Show and completely forget the topic of conversation?
