If you didn’t catch Jon Stewart’s interview with Christopher Hitchens last night on The Daily Show, head over to the invaluable Crooks and Liars to see the video. Say what you want about Hitchens, he’s an intelligent guy and knows how to argue a point without resorting to childish tactics; as a result there was probably more reasoned debate in these 9 minutes than CNN has hosted since the war began.

Incidentally, that’s the most agitated/determined I’ve seen Stewart since he ran Tucker Carlson off CNN.
