Romney blogger Hugh Hewitt apparently has moral outrage only for
those who criticize his guy or his guy’s faith.
But when a second-rate TV talk show host ridicules and debases a
candidate’s wife like Joe Scarborough did, Hewitt, who helped lead
the right’s attack against Don Imus, is strangely silent. Hmmm. Why
would that be? RedState has some
ideas.
Ironically, Scarborough, who’s had a messy life and shouldn’t be
attacking other people’s wives, is trying to get Imus’s TV gig. At
the very least, he should be apologizing profusely. Word inside
MSNBC is that Scarborough has been unapologetic when he was
encouraged by senior management to take back his remarks.
Craig Crawford, who considers himself a top-tier pundit in
Washington, should be forced to apologize publicly for his remarks,
as well.
Neither man was clever. Neither man was funny, though they
seemed to amuse themselves.
