Discussing Israel/Gaza on right-wing talk radio

I had an unexpectedly substantive discussion of the Middle East and the "Islamic threat" on "The Hugh Hewitt Show" last night.

    Glenn

    I am watching the Rachel Maddow show and am thinking that you must get some kind of vicarious enjoyment when you watch it.

    Tonight she was discussing Feinstein's role in providing no oversight relative to Bush policies and that she supported all of his nominations, etc.

    After Rachel did that she notified the viewing audience that she had invited Feinstein to appear on the show tonight but the invitation was declined. Possibly because the Senator didn't want to deal with those questions.

    She is making a huge issue over the fact that the Blair House was not even booked (per Margaret Carlson) when the White House declined Obama's request. Since then they booked John Howard, formerly of Australia.

    I just love it. She is really a gutsy, smart person.
