You can't understand how much it tears us up to post a video of AC 360. There are few people who mix shallow conceit with insipid pathos the way that he does. But it does provide Hitchens a chance to be clear and - a dangerously quality in a polemicist - thoughtful. Any time someone smart does the equivalent of "on one hand... but on the other hand" for something that's important to them...

And now here's Hitch note even bothering to mock Al Sharpton, because Sharpton's defense of his bigotry is so just clearly stupid. Lou Dobbs repeatedly tries to get him to rise to the bait, but it's not even worth his time:

Good to see that Sharpton is a relatively consistent bigot. Still, on balance, he seems to be more enthusiastically vicious when talking about Jews.
