Fox News Launches New Show, "Huckabee"
HuckPAC ^ | 9/25/2008 | Mike Huckabee

Posted on 09/25/2008 6:38:28 AM PDT by outfield

All of us have been talking about the show I will be doing for Fox News. I wanted to bring you up to date on what is going on.

The show will be called "Huckabee." I'm sure the name will make it easy for all of you to find it. "Huckabee" will air this Saturday and Sunday at 8 PM Eastern time on Fox News Channel. Please be sure to watch, and let me know what you think. Send this email on to your family and friends and invite them to watch also.

Fox News always getting the best shows for conservatives.

I like Fox News and think Huckabee with be a successful host. But it seems Fox News hires any and all out-of-work conservatives as opposed to their liberal counterparts. And that goes against their whole “Fair and Balanced” slogan. It’s not balanced if you have 2 dozen conservatives and 3 token liberals.

Now that he has his own show, will there be a cooking segment? I’d love to know the tips on how to fry up squirrel in a popcorn popper! Times being what they are, it may come in handy.

(Seriously, I like the Huck and I hope this goes well for him.)

Ugh...we can’t keep that idiot off of TV now and they go and give him a show? Count me out, I’d rather watch Whore-aldo...at least I can laugh at that drama queen, the Huckster is just pathetic.

IMHO, I will take 1 conservatives to 3 libs or no libs. The other channels are full of libs and 1 or 2 conservatives.. and they are far from fair and balanced.

HUCK, welcome!

Wish I could get excited about this, but we’re not Huck fans at our house.

Speaking of Geraldo, isn’t the Huckster’s time slot the time that his show is currently run?

It’s a sit-com... centered around a joking, guitar-playing populist who runs an underground railroad for illegal-aliens when he’s not trash-mouthing Mormons.

It still doesn’t come close to balancing the “greater scheme of things”.

And since the rest of the media is so far left, if FOX really wants to bring balance to its viewers, it needs to go much more right than it does.

Huckabee isn't a conservative.

He's religious, but he's a populist, not a conservative.

Fox has hired idiot liberals like Dick Morris, and while Morris is no fan of Hillary's he's still very liberal.

The liberals have also declared Fox the enemy. If out of work liberals go work for Fox, they are going to find work elsewhere in the media if Fox doesn't work out for them.

There are also already so many liberals on the air that the market is pretty much saturated.

As far as the general news broadcasts, Fox tries to remain balanced, but there would seem to be a market for more conservative (or at least less liberal) shows.

Now more than ever, it’s the boob tube.

I’m sure the sellouts of the conservative movement will be very pleased to have an outlet for their daily McCain campaign talking points.

Pretty on the outside (squeaky-clean evangelical Christianity), socialism on the inside.

Joy...

I’ll watch and think of Mark Pryor.

Actually no, I’d sooner watch a documentary on fish gutting.

Here's one good reason no one likes him...he doesn't know when to keep his big mouth shut:

Huckabee calls McCain’s debate ploy a ‘huge mistake.’

LOL! Perfect!

BTW, that was a damn good movie and in case he didn't, that kid should have gotten an award for his acting in that movie.

Mike Huckabee is a very funny and likeable guy. He will be very successful in his new career. I wish him all the luck in the world. I hope he makes millions.

This is what his God given talents were meant for.

I watched the show tonight. He will be great if he sticks with it. Good luck Mike.

None of my criticism of Huck was personal. We don’t want him in a position of power over us, but that doesn’t mean that we couldn’t have a good time playing racquetball and having sushi with him and cracking a few jokes.

He’s not in politics any more.

He seems like a nice guy and a natural for his new job.

He seems like a nice guy.

The word is though that he’s a mean guy in private.
