"A Bob Dole Without the Energy"
In case you didn't know, Hugh Hewitt is a massive prick:
When he wandered through answer after answer it gradually dawned that he is indeed way past his prime, a Bob Dole without the energy. Sure, he tramps from event to event, but at 71 he is not the same maverick he was at 63 when the McCain phenomenon swept New Hampshire and Michigan before running into conservative reality in South Carolina. Even the McCain enthusiasts watch this aging warrior and know that he could no more win in the fall than Dole could in '96. Politics is not exclusively a young man's game, but it is most definitely not an old man's game either.
Expect Hewitt to play the "crazy POW" card against McCain before it's over.
It speaks badly of Romney to have this fuckwad as a surrogate. He makes Hillbot functionary Terry McAuliffe look like Daniel Patrick Moynihan in comparison.
It's really sad to see the tone Hugh chose for his show and his blog. He could have gone with a positive spin on all of it and still supported Mitt to the hilt. He's created his own firestorm of anger.
