A lot of people hold Hugh in low-esteem and I've never understood why.  I sometimes question his conclusions but he's sharp and savvy.

I, for one, do not admire Hewitt. For years while others were screaming about illegal invasion in California he was very very soft. He is a Johnny-Come-Lately to immigration and he can be very manipulative.

It's not commonly known, but before Mr. Hewett went to talk radio, for a number of years he did a local PBS-TV political talk show in the Los Angeles area and, to my way of thinking, he was a (occasionally/mostly center-left) neo-cons neo-con even before that term came into vogue.

While I believe that conversions on the road to Damascus can happen, I still have a hard time believing that Mr. Hewett's conservative conversion is entirely sincere, and I've never been able to get past some of the soft-leftist positions that he seemed advocate back in the 1980s.

Then again, that's just me. Your opinion of Mr. Hewett may vary -- and probably will.
