Huck getting the shaft

For some reason, the embed doesn't work on Firefox browsers. So here's a link to Salon's Red State Update for those deprived of the image.

WAIT UNTIL 2012: On a more serious subject, a pundit is already writing about Huckabee's expected defeat and what he could do to prepare for 2012.

GOOD NEWS FOR HUCK: Fred Thompson will quit the race shortly. Some of the Tennessee Mafia will be joining Chip Saltsman in Huckabee's camp, if it continues to exist. What about Timothy Griffin?

BAD NEWS FOR HUCK: Money is short. Way short. Even Ed Rollins isn't getting paid.

His pullback from Florida and the biggest Feb. 5 states is likely to remove him from serious contention for the nomination, although Mr. Huckabee said he did not believe he was out of it yet.

Still, on the flight Monday night, he acknowledged that he was contemplating how to plan for his defeat. “If the campaign doesn’t make it all the way we want to walk away completely in the black,” Mr. Huckabee said.

And, if there's a little leftover .....

There's little in the vid on Huck/Flagpole/Ahole. However, the brown sugar remarks are totally uncalled for and unnecessary.

You know, Huckabee IS fixated on all things anal.

Since Huck's got Chuck Norris, Nature Boy Ric Flair, maybe Obama could get The Rock.

How awesome would that be?


Ever notice how much Obama and the Rock sound a like?

eerie.

/click name thingy

Good thing Fred told us he's quitting, otherwise we would have a hard time knowing.. Can't help but wonder if he stayed in through NC just to help McCain. I also wonder what Tim The Vote Grifter will do now?

Good Red State Update.

Those guys rock.

It looks like it's final.

Thompson's out, and there are whispers around the blogosphere that Huckabee's "re-evaluating his candidacy." What in the world will I write about on my blog if Huck drops out? Did any of Obama's kids ever torture anything?

Maybe I'm shallow that way, or just too far over the edge on the cynicism meter, but there is no way I'd work without pay for a candidate as Rollins is said to be doing for Huckabee now, and much of Guliani's staff is said to be doing also.

Of course, if they bail they''l look bad and might harm their status in their next mercenary campaign job. The only thing worse than working for Huckabeee would be not getting paid for it. What ring of hell would that be?

"a pundit is already writing about Huckabee's expected defeat and what he could do to prepare for 2012."

And the pundit would be following the right trail. You got to keep in mind that Huckabee isn't really counting on winning the White House. His aim is to get into a position to be the replacement for Pat Buchanan/old dead Jerry Falwell. A President can only serve a total of 8 years. A Huckabee can serve his financial/giant ego purposes for the rest of his life and laugh all the way to the bank.

We know the boy shuns work like a loogie on a door knob, but being the paid mouthpiece of the Republican/religious nutcase world where all he has to do is be paid to talk is heaven on a stick for our Huckster. He'll come up with a luxurious HuckaBus & HuckaPlane and tour thru 2012, 2016, 2020 and beyond. It's a sweet deal and he knows it. So don't worry your old gray head about Mike Huckabee. Losing the primary fight is part of his game plan. He'll team up with the 10 Commandments Judge and clean up in the world of the not so bright. Hukabee for President 2032!

Now that Huckabee's on his last legs, I wonder if he'll set up some sort of gift registry.
The "Happy Trails Fund"?
The "Pass The Plate and Bless Me One More Time Cache"?
The "Give Me $10,000-Per-Delegate-And-I'll Release-'Em" Fund?
The "Let's Get Pakistan Out From Under Martial Law (M. Huckabee, proprietor) Fund"

DBI echoes my Huck feelings. Couldn't have said it better.

The LEAST Huck gets out of this deal is a Fox News talk show.

I hope that this election cycle clearly demonstrates the false importance we place on the caucus method for choosing candidates. In Iowa, the rev-Huck got an artificial boost because the "vote" is not secret. In Nevada, Romney got a reprieve.

In Iowa (evangelicals) or Nevada (mormons) , A church bus pulls up in front of a caucus site, the riders pour out. In the caucus room, people have to congregate according to their choices, in front of god and their neighbors. No secret vote there.

In Nevada, many casino workers attended a caucus in or near their work site, shop stewards and co-workers saw how they voted. In the purist way this remains "democratic," but the lack of privacy prevents people from voting their real beliefs.

Let's stop the caucus! So what if the 2 earliest Presidential primary elections remain in the states of cold white people (Iowa) and colder white people (NH), as long as the voters can cast a secret ballot.

My humble side recommendation is that MSM commentors ("reporters?") be required to broadcast in full frontal nudity in the middle of main street of the capital of each primary/caucus state. Perhaps that would shrink the "members" of the media concocting worthless gossip. In most cases, it would shrink the audience as well.


I dunno Rev Mojo. FOX doesn't have that anal fixation thing like Huck does. They tend to prefer country club Republicans who can make huge, get-rich deals, and relax FCC rules.

But this: "Some Huckabee aides forgoing paychecks"

Some Huckabee Aides Forgoing Paychecks, While Other Advisers Have Left the Campaign"

Betcha the chillin are still drawing a weekly check, Jethrine too.

"Where is your God NOW, Moses? Bwa-a-a-a-ha-ha-ha-haaaa!"

Edward G. Robinson - "The Ten Commandments" (1956) - just before Cecil B. DeMille smote him.

Hey, he could end up on someone's VP slot.
Then, we'd still have to listen to him for the rest of the campaign.
