I mean, holy shit. Did you see the shit-faced Christopher Hitchens last night on The Daily Show? (He even brought his own drink.) Funny as hell, but also mixed with the feeling that you're watching someone drive off the edge of a cliff.

Let's start a cirrhosis pool. How long until Hitchens' liver finally explodes?

http://www.crooksandliars.com/ has the video clip and had to take a look at the interview.

View it for yourself and let us know what you think

6. His Insane Notion That "Everybody Understands"

these complicated foreign policy issues is ridiculous. If they did, they wouldn't have voted for Bush.

I thought he came off as a total drunk, he reminded me of the 80's when people snorting coke thought they were fucking geniuses. Solving the world's problems on a gram or two.

11. Shouldn't we ask Michael Powell to look into this.

It used to be against FCC regulations to drink or be drunk on tv.
