Memo to Hugh Hewitt - Take off the blinders

Hewitt continues to push his Pledge. He posts a dire warning to Republican legislators that won't heed the advise of his army of "tipping point" bloggers. He tells the Beltway boys to take off their earmuffs. I might respectfully suggest he take out his own earplugs and while he's at it, he might want to take off the blinders too.

He's got a list of bloggers that takes longer to scroll down than I have patience for, many of whom get well over 50,000+ hits a day and he's only managed to get 18,000 signators in two days. Hugh might want to stop and listen to the anti-war voices. Less than a year ago, Code Pink got 103,000 signatures on a generic anti-war petition. Before the invasion even happened, an international petition garnered I million in five days. And a recent CBS poll revealed only 23% of the country approves of Bush's handling of the war.

Time to face the music Hugh and you might want to tell your friends too. You're in the minority now.
