I think Christopher Hitchens seriously needs to start drinking again

[derby378]

After his clean and sober performance on Real Time with Bill Maher last night, in which he denigrated the audience with several middle fingers and utterances of "Fuck you," Hitchens made a very negative lasting impression on America.

He was more entertaining when he was a bit tipsy.

1. He really did that? Holy crap. Right wingers have no shame, huh? n/t

[bryant69]

2. Maybe some Mary Jane

Help calm him down a bit.

8. Exactly...

Perhaps he needs a little more than alcohol. A long weekend in Amsterdam would make it difficult for him to be so hostile to anyone. :smoke:

3. clean and sober? I dunno. Dry as a crackly leaf is more like it

just cuz you ain't drinking doesn't mean you're any better.

I'd hate to have to do his 4th or 9th step

:rofl:

[Junkdrawer]

5. Bingo. n/t

[orpupilofnature57]

4. His Prig persona is chore to endure , Bill has him on too much, he

sometimes lends insight into the subject at hand ,last night was not the case.

6. My wife is convinced that he was just expressing his honest feelings...

...on political discourse in America.

[K8-EEE]

7. THAT WAS SOBER?

You're kidding! I gave him the benefit of the doubt and assumed he was piss-ass drunk!

[derby378]

9. Well, his hair WAS combed last night

I infer that he was actually dry during the show.

[nuxvomica]

11. I assume he was "fortified" for the show

He couldn't sit up straight and his eyes were red. What struck me was how he insisted on the Iraq-Al Qaeda connection by placing Zaqawi in "the Kurdish north" and saying that that was proof that Saddam allowed him passage into Iraq when most people understand that Saddam had no control over that part of Iraq after the Gulf War. I wish someone had set him straight on that but then again no one wants to argue with a drunk.

[Kingshakabobo]

13. I can't believe they let him slide on that point!!!

Speaking of that, isn't it true that some in the CIA referred to Saddam as "the mayor of Baghdad" due to his lack of control in the North AND the South?

[nuxvomica]

18. I've never heard that before but it sounds right

Whether he controlled the South is another question but he definitely was not in control of the Kurdish north and folks like Hitchens need to be called on that. The Iraq-Al Qaeda link is one of their key and yet most desperate arguments.

10. He almost did a Coulter

actually I was ready for the audience
to rush up and pummel him... the weaselly
little jerk sure deserved some retribution.

Why are rightwingers such dipshits?
Is that some kind of prerequisite?

[spanone]

12. Fuck Bill Maher for giving this asshole a forum.

He should be under a rock somewhere holed up with a bottle.

[alfredo]

14. I think having him on exposed the reality of the right wing

in America. They are angry, disrespectful, and untruthful.

I thought he was drunk or he was doing his William Buckley impression.

[derby378]

15. Very good point - I think Maher might have been doing us a favor

;)

[Hubert Flottz]

16. I think you're right!

The man is a Super Freeper fool and every time one comes unglued on TV it hurts everyone connected to the neocons. It helps pull the wool off of the sheeple's eyes.

[alfredo]

19. Thanks guys for my daily affirmation. I can now put

away the razor blades and rat poisoning.


Yeah, people like him and Coulter do a disservice to the conservative cause. They need to be held up as examples of stoolies of the authoritarian right.

[Julius Civitatus]

21. Excellent point

Let this assholes on TV. Let them expose themselves as the embarrassingly stupid thugs they are.

[alfredo]

22. Yeah, mold dies in the bright lights.

[MindPilot]

17. Apparently insufficient alcohol make his ego swell.

He's a member of the elite Brit 1% dontchaknow. That is a polite euphemism for ignorant backward self-centered pricks who are unable to get the idea that the Throne doesn't rule the world any more.

Did anyone else notice he was wearing an Iraqi flag lapel pin? What a imperialist waste of skin he is. :puke:


Edit cuz I caint rite goode

[Julius Civitatus]

20. Video of his repulsive performance here

Is it true he's in rehab? I can't tell, because he's still acting like a violence-prone drunk asshole.

Here's a small snippet of his performance last night on Bill Maher's show. Evey time Hitchens opened his mouth he seemed ready to start punching Maher or one of his guests. He cursed at the audience, insulted Maher, gave the finger to the audience several times, insulted Elvis Costello, and then told Maher that he would "explode" if he mentioned he was part of the 1% British elite. What a shameful excuse for a human being.

Embarrassing.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

23. Fat, belching putrid idiot

bore

[otohara]

24. Flipping Off Maher's Audience

and saying fuck you, will hopefully get him booted off the show forever.
