I think it might come to blows.

1. Seconds out, Round One.....

:popcorn:

[bemildred]

2. Tsk. Hitchens' ego is causing him to make bad choices. nt

[reprehensor]

3. How it might play out...

1.) Hitchens backs out at last minute, scheduling difficulties.

2.) Hitchens shows up half-sauced, gets his ass handed to him.

3.) Hitchens shows up half-sober, gets his ass handed to him.

4.) Words failing him, Hitchens resorts to physical violence, gets his ass handed to him.

--------------------------------

Of course, the "drink-sodden ex-Trotskyist popinjay" might actually give Galloway a workout, but I doubt it.

This is the beginning of the end of Hitchens.

4. Cowardice would be the better choice here.

We will have to dig up a tape to listen to.

[Cha]

5. A Kick For George Galloway!

May you verbally knock that drunken sod to his place in the gutter!

What a Creeptoid snickering snitchens turned out.

[HootieMcBoob]

6. Now, this could be interesting!

I would love to see this.

[leesa]

7. I wish they would quit foisting the drunkard Hitchens onto us

Last time I saw him behind a podium he could barely speak.

11. "Waterloo" comes to mind.

Except this time both combatants are British.

Only one will walk away whole.

It's a "Rumble in the Concrete Jungle"

It's "Combattin' in Manhattan"

It's bound to be a slaughter. NY DUers are in for a treat.

8. There's a picture of Hitchens in the dictionary...

under the word "snob".

[gulliver]

9. Hitchens better bring some "liquid confidence". He is going ...

... to get his ass handed to him.

[PurityOfEssence]

10. "Drink soaked ex-Trotsyite popinjay"

I'm sure it takes a lot of solvents to unstick that from one's craw...

Sheer pomposity of Hitchens' caliber is hard to watch, even when being skewered.

[reprehensor]

12. Just think of it as 'bloodsport'.

This is an empire, after all.

I'm sure Galloway wouldn't mind being visualized as a lion.

[dooner]

13. Now that's a smack down I want to see! n/t
