kudos to the caller to C-SPAn that called Christopher Hitchens "vile"...

[kentuck]

He let him have it with both barrels. He said he used to appreciate his intellect and his positions and accused Hitchens of knowingly lying to support Bush and the right-wingers...then went upon what Susan, the moderator, called an "ad hominem attack"...It was fun to watch Hitchens squirm. :)

1. Asshole would also be appropriate.

2. He's become a drunk, hasn't he? Seems like he is often three

sheets to the wind when he is on TV.

In any event, he is vile.

3. yes, he flinched when the caller said vile - I cheered

dyspeptic Hitchens spewed his old, weak, tired reasonings

(poor thing has that rattle cough smokers get)
