I'm guessing most people who read this weblog watch The Daily Show with Jon Stewart every night. But if you don't, you might want to catch the discussion on tonight's episode. Stewart discusses Iraq with Christopher Hitchens and…well, it's kind of interesting. Hitchens has always struck me as the political equivalent of certain film/drama critics who take contrary positions to the mainstream just to try and prove they're smarter than the mainstream. While he's trying to stake out one of those "everyone's wrong except me" positions, Stewart uses his home court advantage to mop the linoleum with Hitchens…who is smart enough to know it. I'll post a video link whenever there is one but if you can catch it on your teevee, that's preferable. The rest of the episode's pretty good, too.
[UPDATE, one minute later: Here's a video link. It's from a website called Crooks and Liars, which is a great place to go for newsy video clips that make Conservatives look foolish. I'm sure there are a couple out there that do the same for Liberals but I haven't found one yet. Let me know if you do.]
