FReep ALERT!

Nationally syndicated "center right" conservative talk show host Hugh Hewitt
has confirmed today that
Michelle Malkin



will be a guest on the "Hugh Hewitt" radio program:

MONDAY (11/25/02)
5:20 pm (California time)
8:20 pm (East coast time)

Michelle's interview on the Hugh Hewitt show is timed to co-ordinate with her personal appearances in southern California to promote her new book, Invasion: How America Still Welcomes Terrorists, Criminals, and Other Foreign Menaces to Our Shores:

Tuesday (11//26) - 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm - Book Signing
Borders Books - 1830 Westwood Blvd, Westwood, CA

Wednesday (11/27) - 6:30 pm - Book Signing/Speech
Garden Grove Women's Club - 9501 Chapman Ave., Garden Grove, CA

Like FR founder Jim Robinson, Hugh is apprehensive about the damage that the "immigration reform" movement can do to the "mainstream" image of the national Republican party, and has concerns that the leftist media can distort the actions of some of the more extreme elements in the movement to make the party appear to be racist, and anti-Latino.

Such a charge could effectively crush the Bush administration's outreach program to the huge (and growing) numbers of Hispanic voters who are in this country LEGALLY, but many my most passionate conservative FRiends have chosen to force this extremely important issue into the forefront of our political discussions.

Fortunately, Michelle Malkin may be the IDEAL person to lead this charge. Like Ann Coulter, she is a young attractive woman - which should not matter in the ideal world of well-reasoned political discourse, but really DOES matter in the superficial world of "television journalism." Good looks get her in the door, and then good THINKING delivers her powerful conservative message.

As I understand it, Michelle's brief appearance on Hugh's show this Monday is a "trail balloon" of sorts, to determine if she should be on his show again in the future - perhaps even as a regular weekly guest! - so please be on your best behavior. :o)

Let us show Hugh, and Jim Robinson - and President Bush! - that there **is** room in the GOP's "big tent" for BOTH serious proponents of immigration reform AND for advocates for an expanded Hispanic outreach...

Listen live as Hugh tries to frame the debate away from any solution that is practical as he suggests that "priorities" need to be made rather than attempt to solve the whole problem. Hugh says those priorities are the Canadian border and the ports. Michelle says that would leave a swamp undried out, Mexico.

To be honest and transparent, there is only one thing I don't like about Michelle Malkin:
She is married.

And there is only one thing I don't like about Professor Hewitt:
He's a lot smarter than I am.

But fortunately, I'm at least smart enough to listen to both of them.

Thanks for the ping, RonDog. I heard part of the show, plus Michelle was on Al Rantel this evening. I think people have to separate the two issues currently being addressed: 1. securing the borders for all reasons, dangerous and otherwise. 2. President Bush's proposal of amnesty to those who are ALREADY here and working. This is a separate issue. Illegal immigrants are, by current laws, eligible for just about every benefit in the book. They need to be pinned down, and in the tax system like everyone else. Deporting everyone who, as President Bush stipulates, are gainfully employed, is not feasible or realistic.
