Bravely Bold Sir Hugh

Today's Sir Robin of Camelot Award for Valor in the Face of Danger goes to the indefatigable Hugh Hewitt. This is from an interview he did with Time's Baghdad bureau chief Michael Ware:

MW: Let's look at it this way. I mean, you're sitting back in a comfortable radio studio, far from the realities of this war.

HH: Actually, Michael, let me interrupt you.

MW: If anyone has a right...

HH: Michael, one second.

MW: If anyone has a right to complain, that's what...

HH: I'm sitting in the Empire State Building. Michael, I'm sitting in the Empire State Building, which has been in the past, and could be again, a target. Because in downtown Manhattan, it's not comfortable, although it's a lot safer than where you are, people always are three miles away from where the jihadis last spoke in America. So that's...civilians have a stake in this. Although you are on the front line, this was the front line four and a half years ago.

Where does Hewitt get the stones to so courageously step back into the belly of the beast, the scene of attack, with its remains still smoldering four and a half years after the fact? They don't make men like this anymore, except for the other 6 million people that live and work in Manhattan every day. I don't know how he keeps from wetting his pants in a steady stream just by being in the region. He's only a couple hundred miles from where the plane went down in Pennsylvania. DOES HE EVEN KNOW THAT?

By the way, later on in the interview Hewitt chides Ware for reporting behind the enemy lines. These are the same people who say the media is contributing to losing the war in Iraq because they're not getting out in the country and seeing what's really happening. Brilliant.

Can someone get Hewitt a tunic and longbow so he can continue his fighting from the front lines?
