Stephen Fry and Christopher Hitchens. Can anyone think of a more charismatic, convincing pair in modern history?

I mourn the passing of the latter member of that pair. I hope we can all continue their argument, however less eloquent we may sound.

Fry & Hitchens destroyed those two. Frankly I felt embarassed for them.

@raptorjesus11 Houses of Parliament I believe.

@gregorisgod Her sky god views are crap but don't slag off her political abilities.

I find it insulting that the premise that the "world would not be a better place" if the Catholic Church was not involved appalling. Just by studying history you can see the negative influence that the church has had on places like Latin America and Africa

Where did this debate take place? I was in London not long ago and I feel like I recognize it.

God, I hope this is the only time Anne Widdecombe speaks. Her voice makes me want to cry

[gregorisgod]

I ought to have said "British politics.":)

[pacos33s]

@gregorisgod Ann. Coulter.

[Pipebombdreams]

@gregorisgod It's just you. You're entirely ignoring American politics in that assertion.

[gregorisgod]

Is it just me, or is Ann Widdecombe the most bitter, hateful, disgusting, unlikeable, evil cunt of a woman still involved in politics today?
