Maher couldn’t hope to insult as effectively or savagely as Hitchens. Taibbi can turn a phrase and make it sting, HST could bludgeon, and Buckley and Vidal could class shame the shit out of an opponent.
But only Hitchens could really eviscerate on the fly in such a manner the subject could never recover. I still can’t hear Jerry Falwell’s name and not think of a matchbox, and giggle.
Maher is more a truth siren. Laudable for different reasons.
