I Did Not Make This Up.
Hugh Hewitt really wrote this:
I played excerpts from Hillary's speech from today, in which she references "hurling" her "bookbag" across her room at college on hearing of the assassination of MLK, as well as wearing a black arm band in a protest march in Boston in the aftermath of the murder.
Listeners are e-mailing skepticism about their being bookbags and arm bands in 1968. I have no opinion, being 12 at the time. E-mail evidence to hugh@hughhewitt.com
The man is completely cracked. I guess if I were a family member I'd be worried, but since I'm not, I just think it's funny.
If you have the time and inclination, I strongly suggest you e-mail Hugh "evidence" and for the love of god, cc me.

The "conservative mind" at work at play. And yes, Colombia is smarter than Hillary but Hillary isn't Hugh Hewitt, not yet.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]As I say I probably agree with you on more things than I don't, but you and adnoto and a few others just don't seem to me to have a grasp of the realities of political power.
My favorite scene so far in the John Adams series involves a dramatic recreation of this very dialogue between between Adams, Franklin and Jefferson at the time they were all together in France. It was in the last episode, Reunion, and it takes place in a garden in France around the period when Jefferson arrives to replace Franklin and before Adams is sent to Britain. You get a real sense for the differences between Jefferson and Adams. They had a very contentious relationship but maintained mutual admiration and respect for one another and corresponded with each other regularly throughout. They both died on the same day, July 4th, 1826, fifty years to the day from the signing of the DoI. Look for that scene if you watch it again. They do much better at it than I could in relating it. It's about the ordering of political power and why it is necessary.
For history buffs, a pdf describing Franklin and Voltaire meeting in Paris, what a sight that must have been.

I'm not going to read Drudge Report anymore. God, I was actually getting worked up over that Rich Clinton stupidity. Another soul saved, as they say. now for the other 300 million.

It's just not mainstream and dominant yet. Give it time. Someday we will really be the old fogies Che and adnoto clasim we are now. It's not that they are ahead of the curve or avant garde. They are just having premature ejaculations.
