"This is not an election, it is an intervention."

I love some Hitchens. He is the best pundit alive if only because he may either be inebriated and unkempt or take a poke at the host.

I love his writing on Orwell too. And I am a fan of anyone surly enough to write that Mother Teresa was the "Ghoul of Calcutta."

I can take or leave Sullivan.

There's a lot of really interesting subversion of the usual shouting-head TV News stuff here.

"We'll now go to two conservatives with opposing views to talk about it!" This is straight out of an old Tom Tomorrow cartoon. (Liberals? What liberals?)

Then a very pissed-off looking Hitchins bluntly interrupts to say he's not a conservative. I love the stunned look on her face while she tries in vain to absorb the idea that there are people on earth who don't fit neatly into Red / Blue categories.

Then the two opposing points of view turn out to be exactly the same, and exactly the opposite of what you'd expect from a "conservative" pundit.

But my favorite part is when she brings up Kerry's botched joke: "I know you guys both think this issue is so ridiculous that it's not worth talking about! Let's talk about it!"
