It would have been a lot funnier if they stuffed him into the trunk of a car, and held him hostage for a few days. Because the thought of seeing the guy tied up, in his underwear, when the alcohol runs out is almost too much to bear.

In response to the Wonkette post: There isn't any orientalist of whom I know (that is, not just the Oxonians) -- barring those who are imams -- who wouldn't know the bar scene of any major Near Eastern capital inside and out.

One of my friends in Tehran said that the going rate there for a bottle of Hennessey is 110 euros. It's delivered to your door by a man wearing a suit.

@OhBilly: Genius.

Hitchens is a different breed of journalist and it's events like these that show why. While most barely bother to leave green zones or their corner offices in NYC, he's out there tossing it up at all corners of the earth. I hope this doesn't slow him down.

And seriously, the balls on this guy, after the pieces he's written about islamic fundamentalist, to be moseying around Hezbollah country. Respect.

Silly thugs. They should have dragged his ass off to a beauty salon and had him waxed head to toe. When he sobered up.

Doubtful. As someone who has been drunk under the table by Hitchens, regardless of ones disagreements with his politics, there is, in the presence of booze and some good conversation, no "wrong bar" or "wrong neighborhood" for the guy. Go easy, fellas.

Hitch was at the wrong bar, in the wrong neighborhood.

And it had nothing to do with openly shitting on a Middle Eastern gang in Beirut?

Between this and the waterboarding episode, Hitch really should just hire a dominatrix.

Because he is okay, I will say that he has been looking for an ass kicking for a very long time. Unfortunately, this will only reinforce his inflated image of himself as a renegade/Hemingway type.

@phlox✔: I can understand drinking whiskey in the shower to make it a "whiskey with a splash," and I sincerely believe in smoking in the bathtub, but vertically lathering with a danglie between your lips just doesn't make much sense to me...
