Hewittland.

Today we find that Hewittland is a wondrous magical place where: (udpated below)

• Hew Hewitt and Putz are center-right.
• Andrew Sullivan and John Cole are leftwing Bush haters.
• Glenn Greenwald and Matt Yglesias are extremists who hate the military.
• Tim Russert and Chris Matthews are defeatists.
• The left is dominated by extremists, disconnected with ordinary Americans.
• Liberals hate Hew's show because it's objectively serious.
• Bill Kristol and Mark Steyn are despised because they were open-minded about overthrowing Saddam.
• Any member of the military who tells the truth gets slimed by the left out of fear.
• Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity interviews are the best way for Americans to be "educated."

Hew is like Putz on crack.

UPDATE

John Cole responds (it's too freaking good to edit):

Dear Hugh- I don’t hate Bush. I voted for him twice (votes I now deeply, deeply regret), and I hate what he has done to this country, I hate his incompetence, I hate that he has let propagandists such as yourself take the lead in designing and pushing policy, I hate that he has lost or is losing not one, but two wars, I hate that he has politicized (more accurately, allowed his lackeys to politicize) everything from NASA to the FDA to the Pentagon to a level that would have made Hugh scream out in rage were the President’s last name Clinton. I hate all of those things.

But for all that, I still don’t hate Bush. I think he is a small, shallow, feeble-minded man, whose “resolve” you cherish is merely the result of a man incapable of thinking on the spot and changing course. While he is ultimately responsible for anything that has been done during his tenure, I am of the opinion that he is little more than a puppet.

So, Hugh, I don’t hate him. In fact, I almost feel sorry for him. This will go down as the most incompetent and morally compromised administration in history, and when those history books look back, they will not refer to this sorry period as the “Cole administration,” nor will they refer to it as the “Hewitt administration,” despite the fact that so very many of your bad ideas have, in fact, been instituted (and usually not because they reflect or represent your ‘deep’ principles, but because you felt there was some sort of immediate political/electoral gain to be seized). History will dub this sorry era as the Bush Administration.

Regardless, even if I DID in fact hate Bush, none of that deflects from what happened and what people are upset about regarding Petraeus’s appearance on your show. It is simply, incontrovertibly, inappropriate for Gen. Petraeus to appear on higly partisan talk shows during a period in time in which he is supposed to be providing the military his apolitical leadership and judgement. The fact that he would, in fact, choose to appear on what amounts to a poor man’s Rush Limbaugh calls his ability to be impartial, apolitical, and honest with the American people into question.

That, Mr. Hewitt, is why many of us are thoroughly and appropriately outraged. Our kids are dying, we are making what appears to be little or no progress in Iraq, and the architect of our wartime strategy (in which the goalposts are bing moved yet again) is playing footsie and passing on vague talking points on the radio with a party hack who honestly believes that the three worst things in the world are the liberal media, Democrats, and Osama bin Laden, and in that order.

BTW- Still think Harriet Meiers would be an AWESOME Supreme Court justice?

That's gonna leave a mark.

UPDATE

Putz links to this tripe, writing:

WHEN THE SENATE CONFIRMED GEN. PETRAEUS, there weren't many complaints. In fact, nobody voted no. Now, apparently, he's become a GOP stooge. Wanting to win, and saying so, is apparently unforgivable in some quarters these days.

So many strawmen, so little time.
