Your favorite TV Time Tracker figured one of those knuckleheads at The Blotter would have already, uh, blottered this, but in case you missed it: Orange County's very own right-wing whackmaster Hugh Hewitt was on The Colbert Report the other night--and he wasn't even being punked like some other recent OC politicos were by a different Comedy Central faux news program. And damn if Baby Hughie wasn't reserved as host Stephen Colbert, who does the second best right-wing whackmaster impression on te
Over the weekend, Orange County's own nationally syndicated yack-mouth Hugh Hewitt announced what everyone who follows the fool already knew: He'll be voting for Mitt Romney in California's Republican primary. Even crazier, Baby Hughie spouted off this gem:
We need another Reagan. I think that is Romney.
Where to begin...instead, let's leave it at this: ever since the publication of his Romney hagiography this past March, Hewitt has insisted his mind wasn't made up on the Republican president
Nothing is more schadenfreude than seeing a self-righteous loudmouth get schooled, and that's what's happening with Hugh Hewitt as we speak.

But the strangest slip happened a little bit after, when Hewitt--usually a very articulate man--said this twice:
"...nothing nobody didn't...
Sorry I can't remember the rest of this sentence--I was driving. But he said this twice.
Our local conservative yakmouth, Hugh Hewitt, is pretty popular, but not really. I wouldn't place him in the top 20 syndicated radio shows in the country, and his audience is limited to conservative intellectuals (as he can engage in fascinating conversation but usually chooses not to) and coffin dodgers. So what on Earth possessed Baby Hughie to create a paid-content website? Christians usually aren't blinded by arrogance, yet yesterday was the debut of Hughniverse (blech).What do subscriber
