Well, Hitch is the expert on doing research with one hand on the bottle.

Sorry, couldn't resist the low blow.

Hitch via Doug:

"Try Bruce Lawrence's intro to the Verso edition of OBL's sermons....The Guevara of our times no less! Or any of the stuff that says he's a protest against poverty and repression - you won't have to look far and can do it with one hand while holding a feeding-bottle."

Dennis Perrin wrote:

"One name, and one that Doug considers as a stretch. In other words, Hitchens is lying, as usual. 'Any of the stuff'? That counts as evidence? Pathetic, but par for the course.

"Did anyone catch the trainwreck flipping off the audience as he defended Bush's very person on Maher's show last night? I saw a few mins, which was more than enough."
