Huckabee: I heart Don Young

Even Mike Huckabee fans have been put off by his PAC's decision to support Alaska Rep. Don Young, suspected crook and known champion pork barreler, in his re-election campaign. The Huckster has caught so much heat, that he's responded to some comments on his website, as summarized here. Simply put, Young supported him, so ....

UPDATE: The Club for Growth, the anti-tax outfit that fought Huckabee's presidential candidacy on account of his apostasy on  fiscal issues, is crowing about Huck's endorsement of boodler Young.

Over the past year, the Club for Growth has been criticized by Huckabee and some conservatives for painting the Arkansas Governor as a fiscal liberal. If ever there was proof that that the Club was right from the start, it is this outrageous endorsement of Rep. Young who embodies the worst of the Republican Party's wasteful habits.

Why is it the local TV and newspaper is full of crooks picked up and hauled to jail the minute their crimes are discovered and yet Congress is full of crooks like Don Young and his hollering buddy and nothing ever happens? Nothings happened to the black Democrat caught with a food freezer full of cash....and he's a black man and worst than that, he's a Democrat!

The great thing about bank robbers and rapists is that I don't have to watch them at work. Yet daily we see the same ole flag pin wearing crooks not only getting away with it, but getting rich and famous while they smirk at the TV camera. This situation screams for vigilante justice!

PS How did Herr Bush do in LR today? Did he sell lots of Coors Light for Mr. O'Connor?

And Hillary backed Joe Lieberman. Big whoo.
