You forgot the best quote on the show last night from Hitchens

HITCHENS: It‘s a very crass decision taken by some very inelegant people.

LYONS: Absolutely.

HITCHENS: (on Michael Moore) But speaking here in my capacity as a polished, sophisticated European as well, it seems to me the laugh here is on the polished, sophisticated Europeans. They think Americans are fat, vulgar, greedy, stupid, ambitious and ignorant and so on. And they‘ve taken as their own, as their representative American someone who actually embodies all of those qualities.

Leftist or not, when Christopher Hitchens gets ahold of one he belts it out of the park. All things considered, though I often disagree with Hitchens, he is my favorite talking head.

That was a great line from last night. I also loved the way Hitchens slammed the door on Bianca Jagger, as he made her look like a rambling fool. I'm glad to see Joe's show getting back to what it was before Kaplan took over. His commentaries on the bias media the last few days has been inspiring.

Although Hitchens can be infuriating at times, he was in rare form last night.

LOL. That is a perfect 100 Mega Watt ZAP.
