The conservative courage of Hugh Hewitt?

There was a funny exchange between Hugh Hewitt and Time magazine correspondent Michael Ware who was reporting inside Iraq. Hewitt tried to equate his sitting in a radio studio in the Empire State building in New York to the danger of reporting from Baghdad.
Everyweek I travel from Washington DC on Amtrak through New York City. Today I drove from DC to Long Island and crossed over several bridges any one of the could have been a target. According to Hewitt's rational I deserve a medal for standing up to the terrorists. Chickenhawk conservatives like Dick Cheney and Hewitt like to inflate themselves with the patrotic pump as they wrap themselves in the flag and let others take the risk in the reporting and fighting.
