Hugh Hewitt on Andrew Sullivan
Hugh Hewitt slams Andrew Sullivan—and his new book, The Conservative Soul—at TownHall:
That Andrew Sullivan is read at all is a symptom of a fundamentally unserious country in a deadly serious age.
I would invert that statement, saying:
That Andrew Sullivan is not read far more than the pompous and pathetic talkshow gasbags—from Limbaugh and Savage to O’Reilly and Coulter— is a symptom of a intellectually incurious country in an age that cries out for intelligence and erudition.
Hewitt is another case in point, as his screed demonstrates.
update (10/27 @ 11:35am):
Sullivan responds to Hewitt’s “interview” of him, and the transcript that Hewitt posted. As a debate, which it more closely resembled than an interview, Sullivan is clearly the victor. Read it and decide for yourself.
