Christopher-drunken Hitchens...why is allowed to pass himself off

[bribri16]

as a sober human being.

[Pirate Smile]

1. Hitchens and that nasty NY Post women. What a "balanced" panel!

[bribri16]

4. I was thinking the same thing. When the Rethugs order spin Tweety

knows how to deliver. Hitchens was allowed to say all that crap about Iraq being a haven for terrorists long before 9/11 without one ounce of proof. So we have to worry about the Baathists (who were Reagans greatest allies)as "terrorists." My god do these freaks ever stop? Drunks and druggers, wife abusers, liars, and thiefs...that's all the right has to offer as pundits.

[Arugula Latte]

2. I wonder what will get Chrissy Boy first -- his liver or his lungs?

Cirrhosis (sp?) or lung cancer or emphysema or some nasty combination?

[AlwaysDemocrat]

3. Mix in "Tweety" and his constant interuptions...

and its time to change the channel!

[...of J.Temperance]

5. Believe it or not, Christopher's brother Peter Hitchens is worse AND he's

Got a monobrow, which makes it WORSE. Here's his website:

http://www.peterhitchens.com/

Peter's nothing short of being a total loony. Click on "Read Articles", that's if you've got a barf bag on hand. He's rabidly crazy and he fanatically hates Europe. But he's so crazy, he's ALMOST funny...except he believes his own crap.

Christopher used to be moderate at one point, what's happened to him the past years, I just don't know, but he genuinely needs to be sectioned and straight-jacketed.

[Taxloss]

6. I've had dealings with Peter Hitchens. Not a nice man.

I have to have dealings with him again next month. Although I dislike the task, I find it curiously stimulating. He's simply such an outright loony.

[...of J.Temperance]

10. Curiously stimulating

Yes, I would too. But because he's such an outright loony AND he's also rabid, you'd better take some of the below with you...in case he shakes your hand. If he does, use the Savlon antiseptic wipes liberally, if you get a tingling feeling in your hand after half an hour, then I'd recommend a trip to St. Barts, because you might have caught some obscure disease from Rabid Pete ;)

Oh and try and NOT to look at the monobrow, I'm told it has hypnotic brainwashing powers *shudder*

[pretzel4gore]

7. milk fed rich kid's rich kid's rich kids...

never herd of 'comforting the afflicted, and afflicting the comfortable' it appears....
upper class twits whom john cleese would be utterly revolted by...

[bribri16]

8. Christopher is "your brain on alcohol."

Some people are totally useless.

[...of J.Temperance]

12. Christopher is your brain PICKLED in alcohol

...;)

[Pirate Smile]

9. What the hell happened to them to make them so nasty?

[...of J.Temperance]

13. In Christopher's case, what made him so nasty was

Insane jealousy over President Clinton getting blow jobs. This seemed to drive Fat Chris over the edge...now of course, because he never sought professional help over his complex, well he's gone totally over the edge and it's too late to fetch him back.

Not that we WANT him back.

[Andromeda]

38. Hahahahaha...

Hitchens has always been jealous of Bill Clinton. Now that you mention it, so is Chris Matthews.

They make such a cute couple. NOT!!!

[...of J.Temperance]

39. Chris Matthews DESPERATELY wanted to be Clinton's WH Press Secretary and

That was the beginning of his insanity, when he failed to make the grade. Then when Clinton started getting free blow jobs, it obviously drove Tweety to the point of no return...where he still dwells.

I hate Matthews, not ONLY is he TOTALLY schizo, but I hate the way he SHOUTS and SPITS at people...Jaysus, somebody give Tweety a box of Kleenex for Gods sake...I was going to elaborate on what else Tweety could use a box of Kleenex and a glossy big photo of Junior for, but I'd better not, it might get pornographic.

[Snotcicles]

40. Was he jealous over what Bill was getting or what Monica was getting?

[...of J.Temperance]

41. That's a VERY good question and

I strongly suspect that Chris Hitchens, Tweety, Kenneth Starr, the ENTIRE Editorial Board of the Wall Street Journal, ALL the males who work in the TV MSM and ALL of the males in the GOP, the ENTIRE Christian Coalition and Richard Mellon Scaife...I strongly suspect that when they go to bed at night, they just lay there thinking of the GLORIOUS Clenis.

They're SO insane and fucked up, because they're in denial, if they could only just admit in a public setting how DESPERATELY they want that piece of 1946 Arkansan meat...well, ya know, it'd help them immensely.

[Orrin_73]

16. Christopher is good friends with

David Horowitz, I think he pulled him over to the dark side.

[DemoTex]

11. Hitch learned from his friend's conservative, drunk dad: Kingsley Amis.

His friend being Martin Amis, Kingsley's son. Kingsley wrote some wicked humor before the neurons were pickled by Scotch whiskey, perhaps the best being One Fat Englishman. It is a well written novel about an English alcoholic by an English alcoholic. Kingsley was rabidly right wing. Hitchens seems happy -- no, eager -- to follow Kinsley Amis down that path.

14. 'Lucky Jim'

The ORIGINAL film by the Boulting Brothers is a FAB little film. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Strangely, Martin Amis often looks as drunken and pickled as Chris Hitchens.

[DemoTex]

15. "Lucky Jim" is one of my favorites, too. Book and film.

Kingsley Amis' writing transcended his politics. The alcoholic edge might have worked for him too. I do like his work. I like some of Martin Amis' work too. He was a good friend of Saul Bellow, and took the drunken Hitch to New England for a weekend with Saul and his wife once. Hitchens offended EVERYBODY! Including Martin Amis.
However, in defense of the drunken Hitchens, his book and film The Trial(s) of Henry Kissinger were fantastic. I read the book twice and saw the film thrice.Hitch was migrating toward the dark side when the book came out. Then he went crazy. Something about Clinton pushed him over the edge.

[...of J.Temperance]

17. 'Lucky Jim' and something about Clinton pushed Hitch over the edge

Yeah that "something" was Clinton getting some from Monica. Obviously because Hitch hasn't probably been laid since 1986, his mind couldn't handle the thought of Clinton getting some and it literally has driven Hitch insane.

'Lucky Jim', I've never actually read the book, but I love the film. I'm going to watch some of another Boulting Brothers film in a moment, 'Brighton Rock', which is quite possibly in the Top Five best British films ever made, Richard Attenborough is just STUNNING. If you like films, then you'd like 'Brighton Rock', look out for it:

http://www.britmovie.co.uk/directors/j_boulting/filmography/001.html

I haven't read the Kissinger book by C. Hitchens, I'll put it on my list though.

Gosh, poor Amis and Bellow, having to tolerate the crazy fat slob. Chris' actual occupation these days is "Offender", it's on his passport I'm sure.

[DemoTex]

18. I think you are "spot" on your analysis on Hitchen's sexuality!

I hesitate to say it, because it is indecent, but I guess that if he gets any, he pays dearly for it. And then he considers himself a lucky chap. Know what I mean?

[...of J.Temperance]

20. Well Hitch

I'm sure that Jeff Gannon would oblige ;) Sorry if that's indecent! :)

I think the entire GOP have the same problem as Hitch, judging by the way they reacted over Clinton...well not the entire, because we had the hypocrites that were hiding that they were playing away from home (Bob Livingstone, Newt Gingrich, Henry Hyde *, Helen Chenowith etc) * Sorry I forgot, Hyde's was a "youthful indescretion that happened when he was in his 40s)

If you don't mind me asking, where about are you in Texas? Because maybe you could help me with a question? If thats okay of course.

[DemoTex]

27. I'm no longer in Texas (Dallas)

I'm in the wilds of the mountains of western North Carolina .. Transylvania County. But I have lived in Dallas for eight years and Houston for six. I will never live in Texas again, thank you.




DemoTex in the mountains.

[...of J.Temperance]

28. Oh

Well the mountains of NC look...mountainous, forestesque (not entirely certain if that's a word)

If you were still in Texas, I WAS going to ask what's there to do in Fort Worth for a few days. But I'll stick around Dallas, my destination, with forays into Irving and Arlington.

[DemoTex]

30. Irving and Arlington suck, IMHO.

Close-in Dallas is great. Many great restaurants. Especially the north side of town near Highland Park. That's where we lived until 4/2004. My favorite restaurants in Dallas were both on Greenville Avenue. One was a dive called Doty's (great Cajun seafood) and the other was called The Grape (like that great pub in Mayfair, London), with an excellent Continental/American and sometimes Asian menu. Stick to Dallas .. can't go wrong. I know little about Ft. Worth, except that the stockyards are a tourist trap. Someone else might have better better info on Ft. Worth.
PM me if you need more info on Dallas.
Mac

On edit: "of J.Temperance" check you PM from DemoTex re:Texas.

[...of J.Temperance]

32. Okay I will

Thanks. I've also noted down the places you mentioned above.

On edit: I responded to your PM, but I need to go to bed now because I'm sleepy.

[brentspeak]

29. Wasn't Kingsley Amis a naive Stalin fan?

Or at least he was before making a swing to the hard right. Martin Amis wrote a book about his father's admiration of Stalin.

[peekaloo]

19. He's on The Daily Show tomorrow night.

Me hopes he gets "Goldberged".

[...of J.Temperance]

21. Don't watch him, you might turn into a pillar of salt if you do n/t

[peekaloo]

23. lol.......I'll become a margarita!

[...of J.Temperance]

25. Or a Tequila

Lick the salt, down the Tequila and suck on a lime.

Sorry to DemoTex, that I had to use TWO indecent words there, but I swear it COULDN'T be avoided ;)

[DemoTex]

31. Why do you think DemoTex has thin skin? I'm the 3rd nastiest guy here!

What are the bad words? Suck and lick, or salt and tequila? Or "the" and "and". "Down" and "lime"? I often call GWB a Motherfucker and his devil-mom the-mother-of-satan." Spare not my ears, good friend!
Mac

[...of J.Temperance]

33. The indecent words obviously were

"Lime" and "Salt", as IF that wasn't an easy one :)

Well earlier today I called Junior, I called him Fuck Face and last night I said that Evil Babs smelt of kerosene...so we're as BAD as one another!

[DemoTex]

34. Evil Babs reeks of Jet-A?

She probably douches with it. Oil Queen, you know. Or high-colonics. Or both, I mean they are a weird group!

Mac

[...of J.Temperance]

35. Ha!

I think Jet-A about covers it. I've also heard she drinks lighter fluid and that Poppy after Midnight hangs out in the bad part of town trying to score Hillbilly Heroin.

Oh yeah, I COULD write a book about them...possibly in four volumes.

Edit: I spelt "town" wrong, see that's what the Evil Bush family do, they make me make spelling errors!

[Poiuyt]

22. Who was it that called Hitchens a gin-soaked popinjay?

I love that expression!

[...of J.Temperance]

26. It was the very MIGHTY and my former Member of Parliament

George Galloway, now the MP for Bethnal Green and Bow in East London. But up until the last election Galloway was my MP for six years, a good local politician too.

[ecoflame]

43. Wasn't Trotskite or

'Trot' in there somewhere as well. I remember thinking of Leo Trotsky.

[European Socialist]

24. But he did write an article about Ohio election fraud.

[ecoflame]

36. ALERT! - Hitchens is Jon Stewart's guest tonite!

Just checked tvguide.com to see who was on The Daily Show tonight - what did George Gallagher call Hitchens?

[...of J.Temperance]

37. He called him a

Gin-soaked popinjay. See posts # 22 and 26 above.

Oxford dictionary defination of Popinjay:

"1a. A fop, a conceited person, a coxcomb*"

"2a(archaic). A parrot."

"2b (hist). A figure of a parrot on a pole as a mark to shoot at."

Oxford dictionary defination of Coxcomb *

"An ostentatiously conceited man."

This message has been brought to you by the Public Relations Department of The Oxford Dictionary.

[ecoflame]

42. Oops....Galloway

...not Gallagher. In the ballpark....

[Lecky]

44. Some tension between Stewart and Hitchens tonight n/t

[converted_democrat]

45. OMG, Lord help me, but I find him really sexy........

I know it's gross, but I think he's hot.

[PassingFair]

46. Keep listening to him,

you'll get over it.
