      I've just made an insight. Charlie is interrogating Christopher Hitchens because he's more interesting than Bill Maher. Maher is a comedian and Hitchens is an intellectual. You can't analyze much of what a comedian says because it's almost always biased. Hitchens' purpose is to approximate the truth, and objectivity invites more scrutiny than silliness does.

      I don't think Charlie is consciously liberal.

      Why does Charlie always question the people who may be considered anti-democrat who happen to get their point across successfully, but then he'll just sit back and listen to some douche like Bill Maher talk trash like it's the unquestionable truth??? Rose is a closet case liberal.
