From an actual interview with an actual combat reporter, here are some words that actually came out of Hugh Hewitt’s mouth:
Time Baghdad correspondent Michael Ware: 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.
Hugh Hewitt: 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.
We hope he’s wearing his bullshit-proof vest.

Rambo V: The Chickenhawks
A crazed Vietnam vet. A bunch of sissy right-wing pundits who wouldn’t know real combat if it blew their last limb off.
God have mercy … because John McCain Rambo won’t.
Who says he’s too old to still kick some ass?
