2. Andrew Sullivan is a good guy
Can't say there is much I agree with him on. Unlike the rest of the right wing whackos, at least he takes pride in trying to be a decent human being. He'll even act like one 90% of the time.

One of the few people on the right I still have respect for. Matter of fact, I admire the guy.

3. "Fantastic, the basis of the word is fantasy." (paraphrasing)
Hitchens makes me feel queasy, but at least he understands that bush lives in a fantasy world.

7. I loved that line. And it's true, too.
The Bush cabal is drunk, we are in the back seat, and it's all careening out of control. Must. Stop. Them. Now!

5. Hitchins is Disturbing
Has he ever owned up to how wrong he was when he went through his Smirk-worship phase?

6. Hitchens has a great voice, and could have a career in Disney films doing
voiceovers for animation. Reminds me of the actor, George Sanders.

9. Maybe Hitchens was sober this time.

He always looked drunk when he was shilling for bush. Maybe he was sober for this one.

12. That was a long bender
I can see him squinting in the light of day, sitting on the edge of his bed, saying, "I shilled for WHO?"

10. Never thought I'd see a post with that title
"Sullivan" "Hitchens" and "CNN" in conjunction with "rips Bush".

They didn't mince words. Not an election, it's an intervention. Love it.

14. Dear Chris & Drew: You are NOT forgiven!
Seriously, fuck you guys. Admit that you were wrong in supporting Duhbya and maybe I'll reconsider. Until then, you can shove it up your collective asses. You wanna talk about Bush accepting responsibility? Until you accept your own bit of responsibility, you can kiss my ass. You and your ilk enabled these assholes, and NOW you're going to say "Hey, these guys kinda suck"? Kiss my ass.

17. And there are more and more of them showing up these days.
Edited on Thu Nov-02-06 08:35 AM by bluerum
They think that their "political awakening" somehow absolve them of the last six years. They make me sick.

The fact that the squatter in chief is a rich frat boy dolt was painfully obvious before he was ever put into the white house by the SCOTUS.

To vote for this guy was and combined act of cynicism, hate, denial, and stupidity.

There nothing - nothing that can ever change what has happened over the last six years.

edit: EDit subject line.

15. Hitchens seems to be devolving.
He's just weirder by the second.

19. I rarely watch Cable news but I caught this live
It was beautiful. CNN has these two known conservatives on with no counter liberal opinion. Seems like a good day for Corp Media? Then both of them completely articulate the opposing viewpoint beautifully and leave her just clueless as to how to handle it. Hitchens smirking while Sullivan was talking? At least some conservatives can really see how what is going on benefits no one. Great clip thanks for posting! :hi:

21. Hitchens is a nimrod. He is wrong so often it's astounding.
Some great lines here from Sullivan. I particularly like, "It's not an election, it's an intervention."

22. Wow. They really ripped Bushco an new ass hole
It's incredible how much this administration has turned Republicans against it. I sure hope things turn out well next Tuesday.

23. Zahn sounded like she couldn't believe what she was hearing
She's such a total dimwit. Shows where you can get with fake blonde hair and white teeth.
