Christopher Hitchens (2/6) on Ronald Reagan, Thomas Jefferson, and Bill Clinton (1996)

The actualy saying is, "if you take the body, the head will fall".

Illegal money, habitual liar and this Davis dude didn't even try to refute it. Hilarious.

These callers make me sad to be American. Totally incoherent and moronic.

[Pizuzuzimmer]

This guy Davis couldn't be dumber if he actually was a rock.

[YEELKEED]

What he said about Raegan was spot on Hitchens on this i agree with u for saying the truth.

[SeedsofJoy]

3 months before Fox News was founded and when republicans were on average still relatively 'sane'.

[jobw87]

@SeedsofJoy Thomas Davis is still relatively "sane."

Y'all STFU. NOT game over until game over. Saw him in Scranton, PA book fair over the weekend (10/2/10) and you know what?!? He looked AWESOME. No hair, but not "fragile", pretty damn robust and thunderous and humorous, actually -- sorry to disappoint you, assholes! Signed my book and debated Jay Parini and was completely on THE FREAKING MARK so don't count him out until he's out, k? Jackasses.

@magicpony9 I don't think anyone's counting him out. Certainly no one here's rooting for the cancer. But we must be realistic about the situation. Hitchens wouldn't be opposed to a pragmatic view of the situation.

[magicpony9]

@cowlark2000 OK, sorry - I just re-read my remarks and I do seem a bit strident, don't I? I'm not opposed to looking at some hard truths, it's just difficult not to get emotional when people seem to be saying "it's all over" about someone I love so much. I still have hope. Thanks for the reality check, anyway. Sorry if I was a little dramatic.

Does anyone know how the Hitch is doing with his Cancer?

[boxingaddict25]

@BishopRealTalk98 - Last I heard from Hitch himself (on YouTube) was that the cancer has spread outside of his esophagus to other parts of his body. Obviously that's not good. If I'm not mistaken the 5 year survival rate for someone in his current condition is less than 5%. I hope I'm wrong, but I believe that is the latest update.

@boxingaddict25 That's terrible :((

[boxingaddict25]

@Kougeki1000 - It is indeed. There's no one quite like Hitch.

[BigMikeMcBastard]

@boxingaddict25 It had metastasized to his lungs and lymphatic system, which essentially means it's game over for Mr. Hitchens.
