Go AT!

But honestly, has corruption or other records ever been seriously considered by the Republican sheep/zombies/automatons/brain-eating-unwitting-fascists when voting for President? We got Bushie not once, but twice.

Six out of seven mind-midgets agree: this is the best President of the modern era.

Just start mindlessly demagoguing, and you too can be President of the United States! (Disclaimer: Must be Republican.)

Ut oh. I fear my favorite blog is about to get pretty damn busy. You guys got enough band to cover your soon to be celebrity?

Much ado about a noncandidate for the long-term. His wife,lovely lady that she may be, I couldn't say, is just not going to play nationally. So unless he breaks that covenant marriage of his, at some point, he will have to trot her out on the public stage. And then the banjo music will follow and the Billy Bob Thronton Sling Blade character voiced jokes will foller. Just the sad but true fact of the way that will go down in our cultural wasteland where image counts out of proportion to its relevance in presidential races and most other things. But it what it is. To ignore it is not going to make it not so. Huckabee can't happen. Not possible. Plus who the hell really wants yet another politican from Arkansas. What the @#$%^& is with that. Just weird. We're 49th in every important category except the AP Football Poll and all these bozos and yahoos from here think they can fix the country. I know genius and leadership can come from anywhere but hell I don't see that much of it when they govern here. What makes them think they can do it nationally? What is with that anyway? Only in America.

I agree much ado about a 2nd tier, but I found this little gem about MB, the smut peddler. OMg they ex guv had a colourful imagination and HEY! He was reading the AT.

"Just two weeks ago, the Commission dismissed charges made by the Dr. Kervorkian of journalism, [Arkansas Times editor] Max Brantley (he was the attending editor assisting in the suicide of the Arkansas Gazette, and now is doing the same for the little tabloid that has to be given away to have circulation and finances itself with personal sex ads) "

Nasty little preacher guy huh?
.

Sex ads you say. Where are they located? I don't see them on the content area lisitngs above.

Well what do you expect from a glutton? That stuff about "You work for me, not the state of Arkansas" is just too much.

But yea, republicans will like him because frankly they don't have much of a choice, although I do think that Romney will get it before he does. That "down home hick" image you say his wife has is just going to help him.

Smart reporters will look closely at Huckabee's staff rosters during his first few years as governor. A lot of reform minded members of his early governors staff grew disillusioned with his style of leadership and decision making style and might be concerned about a rising campaign.

I would think some diligent phone calls and a few beers could create an interesting story or two...

Wait till they get wind of the $8.5 million per year that was funnelled into The Lord's Ranch, that faith-based camp for wannabe young thugs, mostly from the Chicago area, that Arkansas taxpayers provide food and housing for in the boondock of NE Arkansas.

Seriously. This isn't one of those Bill Maher/Ann Coulter things, between you and Huckables, is it, Max? I mean, you guys don't trash talk each other all day and then have drinks together after all we lemmings have gone to bed, do you? You know, just to give each other more notoriety? Jaded as I am, there's still enough kid in me to want to believe in the "good guy". You're it, your dudefulness. Don't let us down.

This is getting kind of pathetic. Do you have any reporting on Huckabee that came after 2000?

Is anyone wondering why we haven't seen Janet on the national scene? Or his sons? Could it be that she is 6 feet taller than the Huck and Alice is worried it will make him look weak?

Isn't his son in legal trouble for carrying a gun through the LR airport? Oh wait... that whole criminal process only takes one day for a Govorners child.

Hey Rev Gov, I tried not eating for my health care.. I don't feel any better and now I am hungry.. Any other bright ideas?

And along those lines...had a friend who went to the UAMS emergency room Tuesday. She got there around 3 pm, got home around 1 am and in between sat through a 2-3 hour shut down 'cause the emergency room couldn't handle anymore emergencies. I have to admit I get particular pleasure in reminding all my 'I hate Hillary just because she's Hillary' friends that despite hating her, she was right: There was a health-care crisis and there is a health-care crisis. But I get no pleasure from watching so many of my fellow citizens trying to cling to health through crap like Huck's feel-good diet books and monkeyboy's suggestion that all the uninsured need do is go to an emergency room. Greedy, unfeeling, unrealistic Republican bastards all.

Prouster....Jeff Dahmer hasn't eaten anyone since 1991. Think we ought to let him off the hook?

Ah, i love it how that when Huckabee becomes a national candidate that all of this old stuff gets rehashed. Oh the fun of politics!
