If you didn’t get to see Jon Stewart’s brilliant takedown of the unctuous Christopher Hitchens last night, you can watch the rerun at 10 a.m. EST or check it out at Crooks & Liars.

Oh come on. He’s not unctuous. He’s a really smart guy who calls bullshit when he sees it. Unfortunately, he’s also a rigid ideologue who has blinders on for a lot of really major bullshit. He was, after all, a Trotskyite.

He’s also an intellectual bully of a peculiarly British sort, and Stewart handled him brilliantly.

Wow, Hitchens must be a shrimp.
Stewart is short, and Hitchens looked to be an inch or so shorter.

As I recall from decades ago, Hitchens was a good guy at one time — when did he go over to the dark side?

Also, he has a rep as a lush. Maybe that’s why he lost his place in the conversation.

I used to like Hitchens when he wrote for the Nation years ago. But like Dennis Miller, he’s flip flopped to the other side. Probably because he wants to be on the “winning side” for a change. It’s kind of sad for the both of them.

somehow, I doubt that he’s enjoying hanging out with Novak and the rest of the right-wing pundits now days though

Go Jon!
