I don’t think anyone who seriously consider Hugh to be a conservative of any stripe.

And I say this as a fan of sorts and former listener to his show. Having called in and spoken with him many times on air, I can tell you that he and his staff were gracious to me.

I agree with you, BL. I listen regularly to Hewitt's program (and have since he took over for Larry Marino on KRLA in the early '90s) for background on politics that, through his well-developed connections, is not available any where else -- anywhere. And I've attended a couple of his talks and even shook his hand ... he is a nice guy, a respectable and intelligent man (even if he is a Browns fan!) I just find his loyalty to the duplicitous Republican Party leaders annoying ... very annoying.
