Christopher Hitchens on the Iran-Contra Affair and Richard Nixon - News Review Part 2 (1988)

[OscarBrasa]

- "...I think Chris Hitchens would proba.."

- "Christopher."

Humanity has lost one of its few lions. Rest in peace, Christopher.

As the Ice in his brandy rings, Hitchen's stings.

Bush not responsible for Iran contra??? He was the head of the CIA... IE: the hand up muppet Regans backside... Jeeeez, that guy must have a VERY low opinion of the people watching.... we know where his loyalties lie... scum

This guy looks like he was assembled in a laboratory out of pieces of other nerds not to mention he has a face for radio and a voice for print.

[blaisetheman]

amazing, simply and undeniably brilliant.

The best quote from this clip is at 7:51

"Christopher."

You can tell he's enjoying slaughtering this weaselly jobsworth.

These were the days when reporters actually did some research. Look at that. 

[WTCnucleardemolition]

The FBI polygraphers will clean-up this mess.

Google "Quadri-Track ZCT"

Beautiful, sardonic commentary from Hitchens.

But yeesh, who is that diffident, ugly conservative pinhead in the glasses? He has this foul, stuttering dork voice that I can't stand.

[patient0Studios]

@axl170 I'm ashamed to share the same first name, and presumably the same ethnicity as him(Polish Jew)

[OscarBrasa]

@patient0Studios

I think you can comfort yourself by thinking about that Christopher Hitchens had a polish jewish ancestry on his mothers' side, although he didn't find out until after she died.

[McPrfctday]

Is Hitchens wearing a Johnny Walker badge? or am I just seeing what I want to see?

[badmovebaker]

@McPrfctday Lol, I wondered the same thing.

[MultiUniv3rsal]

So get this, they DID an investigation on Mr. Wright and he resigned. The Hitch was ALWAYS the man. Although you have to give grudging credit to Newt Gingrich for the moving forward of the investigation...

[SmelOdies]

@MultiUniv3rsal Looks like Hitsch borrowed a debating too from ole Pleszczynski. When Hitchens says, "I didn't interrupt you once," Pleszczynski says, "Please do, you're free to." That is echoed by what Hitchens says to Adelman years later on CSPAN, when Adelman protests being interrupted by Hitchens. Search it out and see.
