It was not a good start to the week when my early morning channel surfing found Huck telling Wolf that 'just because we didn't find wmd's doesn't mean they weren't (aren't) there.' Republicans definitely believe (and justifiably so, it seems) that if you repeat a lie long enough...you'll never get in trouble for telling that lie. I wonder if Huck understands the difference between unverifiable matters of blind faith and factual matters of state...on second though, no I don't.

I honestly can't believe that we have serious presidential candidates saying they don't believe in evolution and that DESPITE ALL OFFICIAL INQUIRY there were wmd's in Iraq.

Damn Max, you're starting to sound as obsessed with Mike Huckabee as Mike Masterson is with the Janie Ward case. Give it a rest.

ARK. BLOG: Sorry. He's an Arkie running for president and getting growing attention. That was news when the candidate was Bill Clinton, it's news now.

I have always wondered this about Grover: If he thinks Huckabee is so bad on taxes that he shouldn't be President, then why would Grover want Mike in the Senate, where he can actually vote on tax policy?

"If he thinks Huckabee is so bad on taxes that he shouldn't be President, then why would Grover want Mike in the Senate, where he can actually vote on tax policy?"

Simple, Red, Grover's positions get more attention in a Republican-controlled Senate than a Democratic-controlled Senate. Pryor may be a decent vote when stopping a filibuster, but he still keeps Harry Reid in power.

And don't be so sure Huck would be as bad on taxes as a Senator. Running the executive, Huck is all for taxation because it is how he delivers services and patronage. In the legislature he is not responsible for actually running anything and gets much more mileage (a.k.a. Sunday-talk-show time) out of playing the demagogue. I would expect to see Mike suddenly become more hard-line on taxes as a Senator (and that from someone who doesn't trust him and isn't for him).

OK.....let's add all this up. Who is the best candidate for Senate among the men?

Mike Huckabee

White man add 500 points

Former Baptist Preacher subtract 300 points

Former Ark. Gov. add 100 points

Moonie Mass Marriages subtract 500 points

Hard drive crusher subtract 1000 points

Beady-eyed, balding & slightly rat-faced subtract 100 points

Incredibly greedy semi-con-man gift whore subtracts 1000 points

Total: minus 2300 points

Mark Pryor

White Man add 500 points

Lawyer subtract 200 points

Former Ark. AG add 50 points

Looks good in a large blue suit add 50 points

Has father's last name add 100 points

Pretending to be a Democrat while being a Bush enabler subtract 5000 points

Supporter of Torture subtract 10,000 points

Total: minus 14, 500 points

Looks to me like the race is between Rebekah Kennedy and Mike Huckabee! Vote early and often!

Max, your failed memory reminds me it could be much, much worse. Senator Minton? Thankfully not. He was a wacko House member, couldn't get promoted to the Senate. Geez, he'd make "Name you Price" Bob Johnson and "Ha Ha" Randy Laughtery look good.

Ever heard of "useful idiots?"

Crooks & Liars has an excellent post on Wolf Blitzer interviewing HuckleBuck last night, where he as someone cites above still gonna go looking for those WMDs when he's elected, uh huh. They also have a nice article by Paul Klugman who debunks "islamofacism", a phrase hucklebuck used and parroted by the mainstream media last week.

Could somebody please explain the Moonie marriage reference as it relates to Huck.

Vegan, several years ago Mike and Janet organized and participated in a mass "recommitment" ceremony of a large number of like-minded already-married couples in the Capitol Rotunda, of all places. Best I can recall, it was sometime around St Valentine's Day and coincided with a rash of "gay marriage" scares from remote places like the Netherlands and Massachusetts. I'm sure someone more assiduous than I can provide some links.

Thanks, widj. Glad I missed that. Where did they register for gifts?

Wasn't the Huckster Moonie Mass marriage thing a ceremony for those who chose to have a Covenant Marriage? Some kind of extra paperwork that says you will not pork anyone else or God will make puree out of your genitals. And Veg....I doubt thinking a gift registry is the stuff of comedy. The Huckabees had a gift registry every time their dog had puppies. They take gift registries very very very seriously.

Yea, DBI is right on. Gift registries are Hucakabee's way of keeping tabs on the faithful, you know their responsibility to the cult of 144,000 of chosen ones.
