Wingnut: I'm 3 miles from where the jihadis last spoke in US.

Hugh Hewitt, Terror Warrior

The third-tier talk show host strapped on his kevlar helmet and bravely reported from the front lines of the terror war while interviewing Michael Ware, a Time Baghdad correspondent:

MW: Let's look at it this way. I mean, you're sitting back in a comfortable radio studio, far from the realities of this war.

HH: Actually, Michael, let me interrupt you.

MW: If anyone has a right...

HH: Michael, one second.

MW: If anyone has a right to complain, that's what...

HH: I'm sitting in the Empire State Building. Michael, I'm sitting in the Empire State Building, which has been in the past, and could be again, a target. Because in downtown Manhattan, it's not comfortable, although it's a lot safer than where you are, people always are three miles away from where the jihadis last spoke in America. So that's...civilians have a stake in this. Although you are on the front line, this was the front line four and a half years ago.

I am in awe of Mr. Hewitt's bravery. And just a few days ago, we hear, Hugh actually got on a PATH train that went RIGHT THROUGH Ground Zero. Somehow, some way, he survived.

As funny as the above exchange is ("I'm on the front lines, too!") it opens a useful window onto the soul of the Keyboard Kommandos. See, when Hugh Hewitt is ensconced in a cushy office in the Empire State building, he actually imagines himself as a brave soldier on the front lines in the Universal Conflict Against the Evildoers. When he is on the airplane, he is an intelligence officer against fanatical Islamofascists. When he is on the shitter, he is a grunt in a conflagration against the fanatical jihadis who want to subjugate us all under their Islamic caliphate.

God bless the terror hero, Hugh Hewitt. You, sir, are a great American.

2. I Thought We Were Fighting Them There So We. . .

. . .didn't have to fight them here. That would mean Hewitt is NOT on the front line. If he is, the entire Iraq enterprise has been a useless failure.

Kind of blew up his own premise, didn't he?

4. What a brave guy. The dangerous Empire State Building

People don't know this little fact, but at least 100 people get a papercut in the Empire State Building each year and an elderly lady tripped and broke her leg last year on the 71st floor and there was a stressed out manager who shouted "Enron! Enron! Enron!" and then jumped out of the window. The Empire State Building is a such a dangerous place. And the guy in the cafeteria look Arab! Aaaaaarrrrggggghh~
