Too good not to post
OK, call me obsessive. But a Washington Post humorist takes off on Mike Huckabee's lack of knowledge of the national intelligence estimate on Iran's (non-existent) nuclear capabilities:
The Huckabee campaign needs to get a subscription to a newspaper or somehow find a way to let the candidate know what the biggest political story of the day is. Maybe someone can take a peek at CNN once a day?
Staff needs to brief Huckabee on other recent Iran developments, including:
1. Shah no longer in power.
2. Had war in 80s with Iraq.
3. Failure to cut off beer sales after seventh inning of Ayatollah Khomeini funeral resulted in mayhem.
4. Leader denies Holocaust the way Huckabee denies evolution.

Damn, Max; you're getting like the Clinton haters back in the 90's. Give it a rest. Huck will not be Pres or even V. Pres. He will have a show on Fox, and a radio show.

Nah. Keep it coming, Max. No sense in not making *sure* Huckabee gets nowhere. Leave him *no* laurels on which to rest. The ones he thinks he has are self-awarded and fake, anyway.

As much as I don't enjoy a Huckabee thread, I've decided Max should beat all the bushes and display the Arkansas Huckabee truth at this time, before the voters vote for another pig in a poke.
I will be ever so glad when Huckabee is just a memory and we can get back to saving our country from Cheney-Bush. Huck won't kill us. Huck won't get us killed. Cheney-Bush will.
Only death and destruction will come if Cheney-Bush are allowed to finish their term in office and walk away hand in hand. Let's all remember that Mark Pryor needs to be run out of office in next November's election. That's real important too. Now....on with the Huckanews.

What a rant Rob-
>>2. Had war in 80s with Iraq.<<
Saddam was our buddy back then. We armed his so well he had weapons left over so that his disbanded Batthists could shoot at GIs with them.

Down Goes Huckabee
By Chris Suellentrop
Mike Huckabee's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day: Which blogburst is worse for Huckabee, the newfound attention being paid to the case of Wayne Dumond - a convicted rapist who was freed during Huckabee's tenure as Arkansas governor and who later was convicted of raping a Missouri woman - or the chatter over Huckabee's admission, during an interview on Tuesday night, that he had yet to hear the news about the National Intelligence Estimate on Iran?
Conservative radio-talk show host Hugh Hewitt finds Huckabee's Iran interview "very disturbing." He writes, "This is a pretty astonishing admission of cluelessness on the part of Governor Huckabee." (On the other hand, Hewitt later says that his real concern is that Huckabee is unelectable rather than clueless: "[I]t is hard to imagine the former Arkansas governor winning the November vote.")

I couldn't agree with you more. Thanks that's a good analogy. LOL! Don't forget free suits from Osborne.

I watched a NOVA thing a couple of weeks ago about voracious African termites. It was pretty icky, but interesting. They don't have Orkin in Africa, so they chant and pray and somehow lead one certain kind of ant to their termite infested huts. The ants go down those holes like a Huckabee after a gift bag and in no time at all the termites are gone and the family's hut is saved.
I only bring this up to point out how informative TV can be, when it wants to be and to suggest that AETN or someone needs to do a 12 part special on why it is so hard for politicians to know the difference between right and wrong. Huckabee is a Baptist preacher....shouldn't he have a heightened sense of right and wrong? Did he grab goodies with both hands when he was leading that Baptist church in Texarkana? Did they let him get away with lies? He has enough brains to get to Lt.Gov., and then suddenly can't tell right from wrong. What is this phenomenon? What turns good people bad when they enter public office?
I pretty much say the same thing all the time, whether you like it or not....yet all the folks running for Prez seem to talk out both sides of their mouth. Mama always said if you tell the truth all the time, you don't have to be too smart. Now with YouTube....if you aren't careful, your lies are broadcast to the whole world. Huck got hung last week with his taxin talk from back when he was fat. Now the Dumond rope is around his neck as was predicted years ago on this very blog....and it sure looked bad for Huck as I read the NY Times editorial today.
The interesting thing is that he's being equally damned for not knowing jack about the National Intelligence Estimate on Iran. I swear I heard my cats discussing it when I woke up yesterday, but apparently no one mentioned it to Huck and he got caught with his pants down.
Maybe when AETN does it's special, we'll understand why political office makes liars of most of them.
