Huckabee: 'I Don't Want to Use the Word Conspiracy, But'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Shades of Hillary's VRWC . . .

Mike Huckabee went on Morning Joe today and toyed with suggesting a "conspiracy" composed of the "Washington power circles" was out to get him. At 7:41 AM ET, the former Arkansas governor was discussing his efforts in South Carolina with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.

Are the Republicans conspiring to ruin his daughter’s wedding?

What led Huck to call Brian a wuss? Did Brian say if you mean that I don’t go out and hang dogs, that makes me a wuss?

It’s not a conspiracy, Huck. We just don’t like, trust or believe you.

This from the same interview:

Huckabee spoke to MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough from Columbia, SC, saying enthusiastically, “South Carolina’s a great place for me. I mean, I know how to eat grits and speak the language. We even know how to talk about eating fried squirrel and stuff like that, so we’re on the same wavelength.”

“Mika, I bet you never did this,” Huckabee went on, addressing Mika Brzezinski. “When I was in college, we used to take a popcorn popper, because that was the only thing they would let us use in the dorm, and we would fry squirrels in a popcorn popper in the dorm room.”

Huck, you might not want to blame your upcoming loss in SC on the big conspiracy. It might be that you just don’t speak the same language as those in SC now. Kind of demeaning to your fellow southerners - they eat grits and fry squirrels. Ya know, there are actually grocery stores in the South now :)

A conspiracy implies something hidden. I suggest the effort to stop him is out in the open, lol.

Huckabee: I don’t want to use the word “conspiracy”, but I just did …

Huckabee: I don’t want to use the word “Metamucil”, but I just did …

Huckabee: I don’t want to use this negative ad you see, but I just did …

Huckabee: I don’t want to use this cross behind me, but I just did …

I could go one but I just don’t want to …

That’s actually a great point. It’s not a conspiracy, it’s just people exercising their First Amendment freedoms!

If Thompson played Lyndon to McCain’s Jack, I might be able to push that button except that I don’t think Fred has it in him to finish a reprise of that surprise outcome.

Huck seems like a MSNBC kind of a guy. I will bet Olberdorque will not name him the worst person on the face of the earth or whatever he calls his ridicule like he did for Fred.

I was half-listening but I think they asked him what name he would call them, as McCain jokingly called them “jerks” last week.

What really annoys me about this guy is that he is the candidate the liberals want the GOP to have at the top of the ticket. Anybody that they endorse is a nobody to me.

Well, he's also gotten a couple of union endorsements and an NEA endorsement. Those are huge red flags for me.

The consensus on FR has consistently been for Fred. And Fred has specifically stated he would not accept a VP slot, and he just doesn’t play the word games other candidates may play - he said it and he meant it, so forget that.
