Pimp my ride
Checking out a rental car at the Enterprise counter at the Charlotte, North Carolina airport, I mentioned I was heading to South Carolina to do some work on the primaries. "We just put Mike Huckabee's son in a car!" the clerk said, and then added, "He wanted the most expensive one we had."



Comments
And this is surprising how? He has ALL of his kids on the payroll. He wanted to get his wife SOS and lives like he's still a Baptist minister. It's the "they all owe me" for my sacrifice mentality. This is how he lived off the state and this is how he'd live off the nation. I hope the country awakens to that........

Probably still packing his loaded pistol. Drive a fancy car and you don't have to worry so much about those things coming up in a routine traffic stop. That or he needed room to pick up stray animals along the way in case he gets bored in his hotel room later tonight.

Was that the most expensive car they had or the biggest car they had? Or are they one and the same? Those Hucksters are a stocky breed, if you catch my drift.

It's amazing what behavior can be erased by chanting 'God this' God that' over and over. And it's obviously irrelevant to the 'Flock' if Huck lies/money grubs.
I'm thrilled whenever a young Huck isn't torturing/killing a dog. So if one acts like little Lord Fauntleroy that's relatively good behavior. Besides, God demands the best for his campaign workers.

It's good to see that the Hope Huckabillies worship the same materialistic god I worship, money.
It's what's for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's the stuff they all worship and use the god-bit as entertainment and motivation.

You do realize that those cars are being used by the campaign to ferry around staff and surrogates, right?
Geez, any excuse to go after Huck, huh?
Just make sure you don't call out El Clinton for supporting a lawsuit to suppress voter turnout because the likely voters belong to the union who supports the other guy. You might just end up falling down a mineshaft, onto some bullets.

"...Geez, any excuse to go after Huck, huh?"--Arkansas Red
Well it's not like we're making this stuff up. And, ANY presidential candidate's child who's a paid staffer is fair game. Then you toss in the dog torturing, gun toting and, well, it's not like we're making this stuff up. (But I am glad you didn't toss in the usual questioning of a certain person's journalistic skills, or lack of.)
Where/how is Clinton trying to suppress voter turnout?

Fourth paragraph.

Two points (both equally valid) about the Nevada "vote suppression"
1. Hilldebeast does have an excellent point that they are creating special voting precincts based on where a person is employed rather than where they live. That may well be unprecedented.
but more importantly
2. Caucuses should be abandoned altogether because it doesn't allow workers to participate. They are scheduled for specific times on a specific day, and if someone is working at that particular time, they don't get to participate. Why would any state choose a caucus over a primary, anyway?

"We just put Mike Huckabee's son in a car!" the clerk said, and then added, "He wanted the most expensive one we had."
When asked for comment young Huckabee replied
"don't hate the playa baby, hate the game.
We be rollin' they be hatin'."

DA:
Because, according to the last paragraph of the Post story:
"Nevada Democratic officials have rejected the suit, saying all parties agreed to the ground rules in March."

Reminds me of when Bill and Hillary were in the governor's mansion in the late 80s. I worked part-time in a retail establishment that Hillary patronized from time to time. She always drove herself there, in a fugly white, not-so-late-model, state-owned Oldsmobile (seriously, my grandparent's Olds was better looking), was polite, made chit-chat, made her purchases, and left by herself.
Contrast that with the sense of fat-ass entitlement that required a brand-new Expedition and an entourage of state troopers to go everywhere from the deer woods to the grocery store. Don't tell me it's because of 9/11 security measures, either. The entire family is eat up with the attitude of entitlement. Bottom line: even as a youngster, I recognized that Hillary was being a good steward of taxpayer resources, as opposed to...?

Wait, is this the spawn that:
Hung the dog at boyscout camp?
Had an affair with a married governor's office staffer??
Bussed table's at Colton's steakhouse???
Or the one that tried to carry a pistol on a commercial airplane last year????
Oh, I'm so confused....

ER...Mrs.Frankweiler.....If I'm not mistaken that old Oldmobile Hillary drove back then was actually hers...It was an old Olds F85 2 door that had a white top over a baby-blue body. You are so right when you say it was fugly. Back then the state did not furnish a car for the First Lady. Sasquatch was the first to DEMAND a new car and State Police bodyguards/drivers. You hit it right on the head with the "attitude of entitlement" they have it in spades all of them.

Red,
Good catch...I didn't catch that sentence the first time. But, I stand firmly by my second statement. Caucuses are a farce in a democratic society.

Y'all, I would imagine this little incident is more support for the theory that Huck's not really running for president--he's running for a hosting gig on Fox or talk radio. In the meantime, he and his are fattening up at donor's expense just like he fattened up (and then slimmed down) at our expense when he was living in the mansion.
His entire history in the public sphere--and that of his spawn--is one of suckling at the teat of the taxpayer or fatcat donors. Now he's spending the fives and tens that well-meaning, deluded righties are sending to him. He's just as despicable as he's always been--he's just upped the scale of operation.

Since Max likes to point out the shortcomings of the Huckabee brood, I draw your attention to The Stanford Daily - which doesn't seem to care much for a certain alumna's recent actions.
