Hugh Hewitt on Colbert......…Scary

[durrrty libby]

Stephen interviewed this guy last night and it truly gave me nightmares.

I guess he is a conservative radio guy, and he wrote a book called

Painting the Map Red: The Fight to Create a Permanent Republican Majority


The title says it all. Just the thought of this being possible, gives me the willies.

Is he popular? Please tell me there are enough intelligent people to prevent this.

1. good luck, theres 4 red states left (cum. population smaller than NYC)!

2. He's on a book tour - IMHO, that's the reason for all the face time

3. Hewitt's been all over the tube lately

Not sure who his publisher is, but his publicist sure has connections. Can't stand the smarmy POS, but Colbert did a pretty good job with him!

4. Theusual publisher of such tripe-Regenery

Thanks for the confirmation! :hi:

6. I saw that. Loved it when Stephen ripped a page out of the book

The page that said it's Alarm Time for the Republicans.

7. He's hyping his book.

#1 priority is book sales

8. Randi Rhodes smacked him around a good amount

a few weeks ago on, I think, Larry King. He looks like he's the walking dead. Could be because he has no soul.

9. My hubby has the dubious distinction of having had him for a ..

Constitutional Law professor (and he was my husband's advisor). He says he is/was an intensely religious hardrightie, and Hewitt basically says that he is just that.
