    Credit and debit

    Credit where due to Hewitt for having a substantive conversation with you that was unedited. I hope things like that continue.

    I couldn't help but notice his "hate radio" mentality peeking through each and every time he went to and came back from break where he whipped out the "lefty" label to make sure his listeners knew you weren't to be trusted, no matter how much sense your arguments made. I also loved the multiple attempts to conflag his arguments using absurd and extreme examples. He wasn't used to his guest being able to dispel them so easily. Good on you.

    In the end, though, a great interview.
