Hitchens said, well if you're going to bomb a country, the least you can do is know where it is. So, he asked Heston, where is Iraq? And then asked him to name all the countries Iraq shares a border with, and of course Heston couldn't do it, and sat there stuttering and going all red-faced with fury, waiting for the camera to be taken off him, but CNN kept filming and Hitchens kept saying: "well, okay, if you can't name them all, name three . . .er, two? . . .one??"
I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. Reminded me of Moore's Bowling for Columbine. Thanx for that... cul
