Here is the List:

Now here is some stuff about HItchens:

"Hitchens always could cobble up a moral posture out of the most unpromising material"

Here is some stuff Hitchens wrote about Cindy Sheehan and the Bring Our Troops Home movement :

"What dreary sentimental nonsense this all is, and how much space has been wasted on it."

Oooo! What an intellectual!

Do not forget that John Stewart mopped up the floor with Hitchens on the Daily Show. Does this mean that Stewart was over looked as the world's 4th greatest intellectual? Or that the makers of the list were blinded by Hitchens own hype and his William F. Buckley Jr.esque drawl?

:wtf:
