Would you advertise this?

Mike Huckabee announces he's been endorsed by the hate-mongering Donald Wildmon of the American Family Association, the Mississippi preacher who sounded the alarm about Tinky Winky, the gay teletubby, and other threats to the family. I stand corrected, it was Jerry Falwell who outed Tinky Winky. Wildmon accused Mighty Mouse of snorting cocaine, tried to stop Calvin Klein from selling children's underwear and said the movie "Shark Tale" was intended to brainwash children about gay rights. Sorry for the error.

UPDATE: But what do I know. The Religious Right rules in Iowa and The Huckster is now in second place.

Back home, the wild and wacky Arkansas Republican Assembly has endorsed, not Huck, but dead man sleepwalking, Fred Thompson.

Comments

"There's no one running for president that has run against the Clinton political machine and beat it not once, not twice, not three times, but four times. I have," Huckabee is telling crowds.

Which races is that fool talking about? He's become a legend in his own mind, a giant killer among mice. What a bufoon.

Wasn't it Jerry Falwell that started that Tinky Winky thing?

BTW, Grimace is a little suspect also. That does not appear to be a milkshake on his upper lip.

Yep, it was Brother Jerry who had the fixation with Tinky Winky. Many deem it bizarre that Guiliani has accepted the endorsement of Brother Pat Robertson. Robertson, during many of his tirades, has made some outrageously ridiculous claims. I don't think either endorsement is going to make that much of an impact, however, it will provide fodder for the pundits.

I don't understand all the upset. Republicans love frauds of any kind so long as it keeps the bottom line up. The wacko religionuts are still just that and will always be and Huckabuck will join in if there's a vote or two plus a check to keep his rock show on the road.
No big deal here.

Actually, in the modern Mighty Mouse (by the same guy who did Ren and Stimpy), there was a running joke about MM getting powers by snorting a powdered substance suspiciously cocaine-like.

It doesn't make the fellow a great guy or anything, but in that case he wasn't quite as nutty as it might as first sound.

Hey, you guys cut Wildmon some slack. Without him and his fine organization, I'd have to figure out on my own which TV shows to watch. As it is now, I just check and see which ones he is demanding to be taken off the air, and I know those are the ones I don't want to miss.

A couple of years ago I listened to James Dobson explain to the U.S. Congress that SpongeBob Square Pants was gay and hence bad for children. So, don't miss that one Vegan. I wrote dear Mr Dobson and told him those sponges had better get straight lest they end up on squid row.

Parents worried about gay sponges really need to be aware of the subliminal messages they may give their children when they use sponges--check out Danny Shuman's "Ode to Sponge Bob" at Dvorak Uncensored's blog, http://www.dvorak.org/blog/?p=1228:

"Quick, burn those yellow sponges ,right away,
it could be today ,that your kids decide to be gay!

Think of the children who've not yet decided,
whether to be straight or may like to be derided!

We don't want our kids hated, laughed at or hurt,
because there's gay sponges with agendas that flirt!"

Parents, beware those sponges with agendas that flirt! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun the frumious Bandersnatch.

are those people in iowa actually that stupid to believe that kind of shit he seems to be feeding them. he beat the mighty clinton machine 4 times, where and when? he got 48% of the black vote in arkansas, when? does any reporter question any of this stuff or do they just say ok he said it, lets swallow it whole and believe it like the lord said it. next thing is going to come out is his wife is nice.

Next up will be the endorsement from Dog the Bounty Hunter, and then they'll start courting the loonie Rev. Phelps & his inbred entourage.

Don't be surprised when it happens, but Elvis will soon be making endorsements and anoint his choice from the Republican Rabble to be the next President of the Yew-Nightie States. He will pull in votes from all area: loyal Southerners will flock to his call, aging rock-n-rollers will swivel their geriatric hips right into the voting booth, and wide-eyed tabloid readers from all across the land will vote for his chosen one in hopes of riding in the King's UFO.

And, his songs are so appropriate for Republican campaigners:

Don't Be Cruel (torture); Burning Love (sex); Crying in the Chapel (tele-evangelists); Return to Sender (terrorists); and so on.

When the Grand Old Party gathers together this summer and the Republican faithful feel the spirit of the King move them to support his choice to lead this country to greatness, the announcers will simply say: "Elvis has swept the building."

Jake,

Nixon gave him a badge as a U.S. Narcotics Agent-at-Large, so the meth-heads and pill heads will have representation in the endorsements!
