And I still don't believe it.
At the end of it all, is the absolute money shot:
"HITCHENS: This guy from Lynchburg (Falwell) defines progress as teaching junk science to our children, and leaving us the mockery of the world by pretending that we did not evolve.
(CROSSTALK)
SCARBOROUGH: Hold on a second.
We are not going to debate intelligent—we are not going to debate intelligent design right here, but, Christopher...
HITCHENS: That's progress to him. And he's a front man—and he's a front man—and he's a front man—and he's a front man for the fat-faced reverend...
SCARBOROUGH: OK, Christopher. Hold on.
(CROSSTALK)
STAVER: Joe, I think Christopher is really...
HITCHENS: ... who applauded the destruction of the World Trade Center.
SCARBOROUGH: OK. OK. You know what? You know what?
HITCHENS: Front man Falwell.
SCARBOROUGH: We—this, unfortunately, is—is now moving into intelligent design.
HITCHENS: Falwell said the World Trade Center was brought down by God.
SCARBOROUGH: I want to thank you for being with us, Christopher.
STAVER: Joe, I think Christopher has actually made my point.
(CROSSTALK)
SCARBOROUGH: Mat, thank you.
Guys, that's going to have—that's going to have to be it tonight.
Thank both of you for being with us.
HITCHENS: Jerry Falwell...
(CROSSTALK)
SCARBOROUGH: Hopefully, we can have this discussion in the future, and we will actually be able to have people on that speak like adults and allow each person to talk one at a time.
I mean, after all, friends, isn't that how adults talk? I don't understand it. I mean, if you have got the facts on your side, then why don't you talk, allow the other person to speak, and be courteous? Why does it have to be this way?
And why is it that a discussion on faith, on something that is very, very important to tens of millions of Americans out there, why does it always seem to degenerate like this? We can talk about—I mean, we ought to be able to talk about this like adults, instead of having this rudeness, which, I got to tell you, I mean, my mom didn't raise me that way. My dad didn't raise me that way.
I can't understand people who behave that way. But I am very sorry it happened tonight. And it doesn't usually happen in SCARBOROUGH COUNTRY.
When I first started this show, it happened once in a while. I didn't control things as well as I should have. And I apologize to you for that. But it's just not going to happen on my show tonight. It's not going to happen in the future. And I'm sorry for what you just saw.
Coming up next, her crimes are going to make your blood run cold, and now she is out of jail. And could she be coming to America? Well, if she wants to, she can. A judge's stunning legal loophole that sparks outrage, tonight, we will tell you about it. "
AR: People were SHOUTING on the FOX Network?!?!? Not allowing each other TIME TO TALK?! Beyond hilarious. How he looks at himself in the morning after that cap speech, and doesn't think he deserves an Oscar, I don't know.
Hitch is his usual surly self, but I mean c'mon, you have an Iraq war Liberal Hawk with a propensity for drunken rants on the show and you engage him in a dialogue on the war on...X-Mas?
I suspect Hitch only agreed so that he could throw the live hand grenades.
