Hitchens on Hannity and Colmes

You know, I gotta say, much as I dislike Falwell and Hannity, Hitchens is being a dick in his interview. Why is it so unreasonable to say, "Look, I don't take pleasure in the loss Falwell's family feels, and I don't wish suffering on anyone, but this guy does leave a legacy of suffering and intolerance"? You don't have to say you like him, you don't even have to say you're sorry he's dead...but you can still give your condolences to his family because he was a human being (no matter how awful a human being he was), and there were other human beings that cared about him.
