Don't miss tonight's Daily Show

Jon Stewart nailed Christopher Hitchens' ass to the wall. It was a beautiful thing to see.

Ever seen Hitchens sputtering and speechless? Man. If I smoked I'd be having a cigarette right now.

1. And while I'm doing odds and ends,

This was my favorite news item of the day:

White House Denies Bush is on Vacation

The White House seems to be a little defensive about President Bush's summer vacation. According to the San Bernardino Sun, a spokesman insisted "the reason that Bush is in Crawford, Texas, is due to the renovation of the West Wing of the White House."

Said the spokesman: "He's operating on a full schedule; he's just doing it from the ranch instead of from the White House. The only week he had officially off was this last week."

Whether he's on vacation or just away, USA Today notes he's been "shadowed by anti-war demonstrators" the entire time.

9. Ha

That is so childish! If he were going to the "ranch" because of the renovations, why didn't they say this in the first place?? :eyes:

3. It was *that good*, huh?

;)

[whometense]

4. Oh man

It was, I think, the best interview I've ever seen him do.

Over in GD they're lining up to have his baby.

Watch, and then tell if it was as good for you. Hitchens practically fled the set the second it was over.

5. Missed it

He was on vacation, now he's not on vacation, flip-flop flip-flop.:dilemma:

That cartoon is great. :rofl:

8. It's in my DVR. I'll let you know what I think when I watch it.

I read something over on Wonkette, that poor Hitchens, being a liberal hawk and all, has no friends. No one wants to have tea with him. But "at least he gets to write". Pathetic.

10. good statement on *

He defined him to a "T".
