Christopher hitchens Nails George Galloway

In a classical debating performance of surgical precision Hitchens nailed Galloway's ass.A savage mauling executed with all the refined adeptness of a master interlocutor.The most Galloway could muster was ranting ad hominems feeble and cliched, laboured,third rate debating tactics which had the biased crowd roaring with approval but was embarrassingly weak and self parodying so much so that much of Hitchens work was done for him by the ranting bufoon.

Imagine a heavy weight intellect against a non weight intellect and that pretty much covers it. There was time enough for Hitchens to demonstrate his intellectual brilliance and superiority and righteous indignation and more than time enough for Galloway to dig himself into a mighty big hole -and then spend all of the two hours digging deeper.

The ranting demagoguery of Gallway was no match for the measured polite urbane tones of Hitchens which made his expose and disection of the Scottish bruiser all the more effective and devastating.
