Inherit the Windbags
It's not quite William Jennings Bryan vs. Clarence Darrow, but the other night Manhattan was home to another debate on religion featuring two masters of rhetoric. Yep, it's Al Sharpton defending the almighty from Christopher Hitchens's claim that "God is Not Great."
The two men squared off at the New York Public Library, and produced a discussion that--if not exactly profound--was suprisingly civil. The NY Times' Empire Zone blog has a nifty summary here.

Did you go? I think it would be fascinating to watch the two of them go at it. (Debate-wise.)
