I've been impressed with Hugh's coverage this entire week as the New Media has found a chink in the armor of the old (starting with Laura Ingraham's visit to the TODAY show), exploited it, and sent the MSM into defensive mode. VDH's viewpoint is simply intriguing, as his view of current events is through the eyes of a historian. Our mentality today is such in the HERE AND NOW that we have no inkling that our country has been through similar circumstances, and has fared much worse, than anything we are experiencing now.
