Hitchens vs. Stewart
Sorry Alf (and others), but Hitch got demolished. Yeah, he was a little out of his element, but Stewart pointing out that there is in fact a principled middle ground between the two extremes that are all the absolutist Hitchens wants to see was pure gold even so. He came off well, and argued well, but faced with someone who insists on the existence of non-idiot leftists, Hitchens really has very little to say.
[Edit: It was a little weird to see Stewart going after Hitchens so much harder than, say, odious scumfuck Trent Lott the night previous, but that means I would have liked to see him be tougher on Lott, not easier on Hitchens]
