I Sent This Email To Hugh Hewitt About Publicola's Interview

Whoa!

I knew that overcompensating for Bush's foolish ham-handedness with the Miers nomination was part of the Hugh Hewitt Job Description, but you've really got to lay off, man - I heard you dismissively shut down a blogger-friend of mine, Publicola, in the clip of the show he sent to our group, the Life-Liberty-Property people, about three weeks ago. The interchange has been stewing in the little walnut that is my brain, and tonight my thoughts about it have sort of popped out of their own accord.

P'Cola's a pretty special guy to us, and I was not at all amused at your lack of consideration for his gently-stated argument. P'Cola is one of the group of Americans who are defenders of a "Third-Space" in the domestic political arena - silent sometimes - but their voice was heard 5 x 5 when they came out in force to vote Reagan in for a second "Morning In America." I feel like you used your position as Radio Show Commander and Con-Law Prof to bully him into a corner while you joked and hammed around with the other blogger, who was essentially there to back-slap you and double-team my friend.

Your brand of "Practical Republicanism" will be the undoing of the Conservative/Libertarian movement in this country, as it continually looks to validate the image of a "political center-right" that keeps getting redefined by the illogicists from the Left in a (predictably enough) "Lefterly" direction :-/. Yep, laugh it up, Fuzz-Ball - if you don't stand with us, on SOMETHING... you'll fall for anything.

I won't be surprised if P'Cola resists standing in as the Gun-Nut Punching Bag on the "Hugh Hewitt Bush Enhancement Tour" again.
