This hour featured a long-form interview with Minneapolis Start Tribune reporter and blogger, Eric Black.

Fox News contributors Morton Kondracke and Bill Sammon started the hour discussing the fallout and impact of Foleygate. Ohio gubernatorial candidate Ken Blackwell joined Hugh, as did Colorado gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez. And Congressman John Campbell rounded out the hour.

Columnist to the world, Mark Steyn started the show on the silly reaction to Foleygate by the Democrats and Republicans for that matter.

Retired JAG officer, Captain Brian Rooney, also the grandson of the Pittsburgh Steeler Rooney family, joined Hugh in studio.
