1. Oh gosh. And I doubt Stewart will handle him with appropriate contempt.

Heres a piece on Hitchens trying to defend his comments about Cindy Sheehan.

2. Oh please have lots of liquor in the Green Room

It would be fun and he might make more sense.

[AlCzervik]

3. i don't how he's managed not to choke on his vomit when he's passed out

7. Jon Stewart lets them hang themselves

- that's what he did to Santorum. Jon was polite, let the fool ramble on, exposing his insanity to the viewers.
Hitchens is a drunken sot. My guess Jon will let the audience experience him at his 70 proof best (or worst).

[K-W]

11. Hitchens is no Santorum.

Hes certainly capable of making an ass of himself, but I wouldnt underestimate his rhetorical skills.

8. Drunken Christopher Hitchens Removed From Trailer Park

(anyone remember this gem from the Onion?) :rofl:

Christopher Hitchens Forcibly Removed From Trailer Park After Drunken Confrontation With Common-Law Wife

http://dc.indymedia.org/newswire/display/66772/index.php

Noted author, social critic, and political gadfly Christopher Hitchens was once again the focus of controversy Monday, when he was forcibly removed from Happy Trails trailer park following a drunken confrontation with Noreen Bodell, 39, his common-law wife of 14 years.

Responding to a domestic-disturbance call, police arrived at the couple's double-wide trailer at approximately 2:15 p.m. to find Hitchens and Bodell throwing dishes at each other. When the officers attempted to remove Hitchens from the premises, the leftist intellectual became physically and verbally abusive toward the officers, calling them "shitkickers," "bitches," and "effete liberal apologists for the atrocities of late-stage capitalism."

Having consumed what sources described as "a substantial amount of single-malt scotch," Hitchens then burst into tears, yelling, "That woman never understood me for who I am. I want to talk to Lapham. Lapham's the only one who understands me."

Charged with disturbing the peace, Hitchens was taken to the Sparta police station at 3 p.m. and released four hours later.

Little is known about Bodell, a heavy-set blonde who has been known to use several different surnames. According to sources familiar with the couple, the incident marks the third time in as many weeks that police have been forced to intervene in their volatile relationship.

"We're down at the old Hitchens place probably twice a month at least," said Sgt. Wilson Vernon, the first of three officers to arrive at the scene. "Once his blood's up, old Hitch can get meaner than a three-legged coon hound. From what the neighbors told us about this latest incident, Noreen was all worked up, accusing him of drinking and womanizing. He was angry with her refusal to acknowledge that there is ample evidence to make a case for prosecuting Henry Kissinger as a war criminal. She just kept shouting, 'No, there ain't!'"

13. Hitchens has been on the Daily Show before.

And Jon treated him fairly respectfully if I remember correctly.

[Up2Late]

16. Yup, found it, what a Douche Bag!

He called Gandhi a "half naked faker." :eyes: :crazy:

To find it, you need to go to the link below, click on any Video, then use that Pop-up window (which has a "Search" button) to search his name.

And Yes, he did bring his own drink with him from the Green Room.

15. Who is Christopher Hitchens anyway?

I read some things he wrote pre-2001 in "The Nation," which didn't seem so bad, and he was recently on "City Arts" (KQED) <http://www.publicradiofan.com/cgi-bin/program.pl?programid=692> <http://www.cityarts.net/program.html> where he made SOME sense on a few points, but where else do you hear this guy?

I trust Jon will do a good job with this guy, Jon does his Homework.
