What about “A Mormon in the White House”?

And don't forget he got his start working for ex-president Nixon.

I was a fairly convinced “movement” conservative in high school. My pediatrician gave me Hewitt's *First Principles: A Primer for the College-Bound Student* the summer before I went to college. I was—even at that impressionable age—horrified by its utter shoddiness. 'Twas likely the beginning of my disengagement with that … style (if that's the word I want).

Is Hewitt at all related to Ann Coulter? His titles sound like her. She's irrelevant as well.

The character Alex Keaton was based on Hugh Hewitt in high school. Utterly pompous from the womb.

And who could forget his most memorable role as Nixon apologist at the presidential library. Curiously, haven't heard much from Hughie as more and more Nixon tapes see the light of day

I was hoping someone would mention “A Mormon in the White House.” Also, after Palin was picked as VP, he was pitching a book titled “How Sarah Palin won the Election and Saved America.” The book would have come out right around now. Sadly, no publishers picked it up.

“A Mormon in the White House”
“How Sara Palin Won the Election and Saved America”

Clearly, Hewitt is a master of alternate-history fiction.

Don't forget “Romney rising.” You should have seen all the grief Hewitt got for this in the comments boxes on his blog.

Comments boxes, I add, where Mr. Hewitt and his neocon acolytes were receiving regular drubbings from liberals and paleocons. And which have been recently removed, along with all those juicy drubbings, Twitter being the wave of the future, you see:
