It’s been pretty funny listening to Hugh Hewitt lately. It’s obvious he doesn’t like Trump at all, but doesn’t want to say too much in fear of angering his followers.
So he’ll just say in a sad voice “well... he sure is good for ratings.” He’ll talk to some political consultants about different candidates. The consultant will say something like “Rubio and Jeb really bring in a lot of Hispanic votes.”
Hewitt responds with overwhelming enthusiasm with ‘YES THEY DO! YES THEY DO!!!!!”
Hewitt is part of the Northeast cocktail Republican/Liberal establishment.
Hugh misses the mark so much, that I can’t listen to his show.
I have listened to it about five to time times over the years, and he reveals his “moderate” side constantly.
It’s impossible to not wind up yelling at the radio, so I don’t tune him in.
Asking what the names of the terrorist leaders in the Middle East are is a gotcha question. If you know them good. If you don’t know them, you’re no different than most ever other political person. It’s a puff piece question of no import. It’s a waste of time, and feeds right into Leftist media dynamics.
Hugh is more than happy to do this. That should tell folks all they need to know about him.
None of these guys want to ask him policy questions. Megyn didn’t. Hugh didn’t. Now Hugh may have asked some in his interview too, but notice what got all the attention.
How many FReepers could tell us the names of the leaders of ISIS, al Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood, Hesbollah, and Al Fatah?
I sure as heck couldn’t.
