Hugh Hewitt’s Miserable Meirs Defense
By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Dumb Things Said By Smart People, Supreme Court, The War On TerrorismThis is INCREDIBLE.
Hugh Hewitt recently said the following:
With a nomination made, I prefer to press to the desired outcome, and support the president and recognize that the defeat of a nominee is a calamitous political consequence, no matter what other people say.It may come as a shock to people, but I am a Republican, who believes that the care and nurturing of governing majorities of the GOP in the Senate and the House in time of war, and the preparation for a monumental struggle with Hillary in 2008, are crucial –indeed the most important– goals on the table.
We can lose the war. We can suffer terrorist attacks far more devastating than 9/11. Iran is not being deterred, and North Korea continues to be run by an unbalanced dictator with nukes. There are at least hundreds of thousands and probably millions of Islamofascists who would gladly bring WMD to this country and use them in our major cities. I would have preferred a different nominee, and I hope that my short list is the president’s short list the next time a vacancy occurs.
This is what he’s come to? Suggesting that the defeat of Meirs could be the type of negative momentum that causes more conservatives to lose, and therefore puts our nation at danger?
Ugh.
Now that’s what I call a faithful Republican.
