There Huckabee goes again
Mike Huckabee, newly minted TV commentator, needs to remember: The TV camera never blinks. And somebody out there might hold you to account for your bodacious B.S. (The gig of him here on pollution post-Katrina doesn't even get into on-shore devastation from oil leaks.)
Summary: On Fox & Friends, Mike Huckabee falsely asserted, "When Katrina, a Cat-5 hurricane, hit the Gulf Coast, not one drop of oil was spilled off of those rigs out in the Gulf of Mexico." In fact, according to a report prepared for the federal government by an international consulting firm, damages related to Hurricane Katrina resulted in 70 spills from outer continental shelf structures with a total volume of approximately 11,104 barrels of oil and petroleum products.
Comments
Well, I've considered all your attention given to Huckabuck in the past 12 months and I finally see the sense of it. Sometime in the not-so-distant future this will be a wonderful resource once again for debunking yet another lying Republican.
Those of you who think Max has an "unhealthy" obsession with Huck keep in mind the spin, outright lies and myth-making will have a source to be debunked. Huck is now going for minor god status. By 2011 he will assume god status unless there is a major screw up he cannot spin, lie or cover-up.
Keep it up Max.

Thank, you FOX, for hiring Huckabee.
It's bedtime for Bonzo.

Huck, Huck, Huck. Gotta remember, even when you are with family and friends, cameras are always rolling and video lives forever.....
As for you and I remembering all this for Huck's future run for president, it makes little difference, I suspect. It has come home to me that whatever is real or whatever is imagined, stories take on a life of their own and in the end, a cult of popularity wins out over any facts.
There is an interesting article in the New York Times that talks about a phenomenon we all are confronted with daily and causes me to constantly scratch my head. Your brain conveniently "lies to you". You hear or see information and store it in your brain - Obama is not a Muslim, Obama is a Muslim - and the next time you think about that information, your brain rewrites it. So, the Obama is not a Muslim disappears and Obama is a Muslim is all that you remember - IF that was what you were predisposed to believe in the first place.
So, I predict that it won't matter what kind of case is built against Huckabee, if a large enough, and loud enough, group decides he's the one, all the truth in the world won't stop it.
If you are interested in the article, it is linked at my name....

You'd think that Huck would remember that his dear friends and benefactors from Murphy Oil ended up paying out quite a bit of cash to lots of folks over there due to spills from their refinery also.

As if FOX news wasn't bad enough already mixing Huck's God Spin to the mix might finally convince the few remaining religious racist and Bush thirty presenter's, who suck it up on a daily basis, that FOX is really the NUT news channel and there is another opinion on the other side.
