Nonsense, Max. Huckabee's Cayman Islands speaking engagement is for the BBC.

Beach Bums for Christ.

Money money money.. How much, Reverend?

"We're not giving up," Huckabee campaign manager Chip Saltsman said.."

And why should they? Even the MSM has noted Huck has nothing else to do.
I wonder how Mc's campaign funds could be channeled to Huck just to keep
a minimum of interest in all things Republican?

Isn't the Caymans the place most
of the wealthiest keep their stashes and large cash transactions can
occur without the light of day?

Instead of trying to lead the country huck-the-buck should be should be attending and leading his own family of dorks.

Huckabee's Son Arrested With Handgun

Republican Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee's Son Arrested With Gun at Arkansas Airport
By ANDREW DeMILLO -- The Associated Press -- ITTLE ROCK, Ark.

David Huckabee, a son of Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, was arrested at an Arkansas airport Thursday after a federal X-ray technician detected a loaded Glock pistol in his carry-on luggage.

"I removed the bag and asked Mr. Huckabee if he knew what he had in the bag," Little Rock police officer Arthur Nugent wrote in a report after being summoned to a security checkpoint. "He replied he did now."

Huckabee, 26, later pleaded guilty in Little Rock District Court after being charged with a misdemeanor count of possessing a weapon in a prohibited place.

"It was a silly mistake," Huckabee told reporters as he left the Pulaski County Jail. When asked whether it would affect his father's presidential campaign, Huckabee responded, "It shouldn't."

District Judge Lee Munson gave Huckabee a one-year suspended jail sentence and ordered him into 10 days of community service which Huckabee can avoid by paying $100. Huckabee will be on probation for a year. Fines and costs totaled $855.

The son of the former Arkansas governor held a concealed weapons permit at the time of the incident but state police are taking steps to revoke it. The elder Huckabee, who said last week that Virginia Tech gunman Seung-Hui Cho perhaps could have been stopped if a teacher or student had also been armed, also has a concealed weapons permit.

"My wife and I love our son. What he did was irresponsible but not intentional," Mike Huckabee said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.

Nugent said David Huckabee had a .40-caliber Glock pistol in his black carry-on bag. Eight live rounds were in the gun none in the chamber and a nine-round clip was also in the bag. The weapon and ammunition were detained by Little Rock police while David Huckabee's gun permit was seized and given to the Arkansas State Police.

Mike Huckabee said his son grabbed the bag on the way to the airport and didn't realize the gun was inside.

"It's one of those stupid things," Mike Huckabee said. "He knows better."

Oh, Btw, CONGRATS Max. You almost went an entire day without a Huck thread. Ending the day with the Adventures of Huckabilly is a different note.

A day without Huck is a like day without Sunshine.

Or Anita Bryant.

Or the Florida Citrus Commission or whatever.

A LOVE STORY FOR 2/14/08

Sixteen years from now, after the first two of many consecutive Democratic administrations, the Huckster will still be doing birthday parties for 10 year olds and entertaining at assisted living centers, off his 15 minutes in this primary. I think that's great. Anybody who can figure a way to get through life without working his fingers to the bone, I say "More power to 'em". He obviously enjoys what he's doing, and people are willing to pay him for it (just not to be President, let's hope), so what could be so wrong with that?

I'd like to agree with you, RickB, but no one should slip by so easily while hurting others. I guess it's too much to expect that his own church might recognize his profligacy for the sin that it is and kick him out.

For my part, I wouldn't let him into my church without a LOT of sackcloth and ashes--IF then.

Rick Baber...you old lib punk! ...where you been lately boy? ...still trying to peddle that digital stuff of yours to the Hillcrest left?

Them, and everybody else BJ. Get your order in early now for next Crimmus.

Gracious, bj, get your sorry ass back to the desert. The auction just isn't the same without your insightful, intelligent commentary. Got a yellow '69 camaro in your pocket?

Remind me again about Huck's position on moving jobs overseas?

"But Saltsman said the Cayman Islands speech was booked six months ago ..."

Obvioulsly last Fall Huck gave himself the same chance of success as everybody else and he never dreamed he'd still be campaigning at this point. Very telling.
