Christopher Hitchens and Bill Maher

These two videos are a study of contrast. At left Christopher Hitchens, one of the more interesting journalists around, clashes with Charlie Rose. It's an ego contest each constantly talking over the other. I agree with most of Hitchens' views even as he slaggs Mother Theresa and religion in general. But his stubborn position on Iraq is disappointing. At right is a very civil, and equally good, interview with Bill Maher.
