Have you ever BLACKED OUT like Hitchens did on the Daily Show last night?

Christopher Hitchens at the 3:55-4:02 mark of the interview.

Notice the edit :shrug: at the the 1:46 point too.

See for yourself:

Now have you ever just flat out completely lost yourself in the moment like that? Had you too been drinking heavily?*




*but uncharacteristically bathed.

1. No, but I gotta say

I could've watched those two talk Iraq for an hour. That was good TV. :thumbsup:

2. um. heh, I do it all the time.

[peekaloo]

3. Cut Hitch some slack.

He was having his arse removed and handed to him, sans anesthesia.

Now what if someone did that to you, held it up to your face while it was still talking, could you remain conscious throughout?

5. yes he was drunk as a skunk

but not a bad performance for someone that visibly wasted

6. I somehow missed the blackout, but it would have been an improvement

I couldn't understand a word he was saying. As I once did a junior year abroad in Britain, I'm pretty sure it wasn't the accent that was throwing me. "Blotto" was the first word to come to my mind, too.
