Huckabee is such a bore...I’ll never listen to him...I detest him because he and his antics ushered in McCain last time....

Huckabee on radio = Dukakis with a helmet in a tank

I can hear Rush now saying, “Come on in Huck, the water’s warm.”

Frum ignores the fact that the radicals with their hair on fire organized and jumped into attack mode threatening to boycott Rush’s advertisers. Not mentioning that fact (especially since some advertisers have asked to be reinstated) doesn’t evidently fit with Frum’s template - especially since most of Rush’s audience is 100% behind him in the Fluke dust-up.

Pssst: Frum, we LIKE that Rush can be confrontational. It’s what drives the left absolutely bonkers and drives more listeners to his audience (whether or not he talks about the left’s sex stories). Huckabee’s show will attract a completely different audience. I like Huckabee and wish him well. He will probably come to be known as the Lawrence Welk of radio.

It doesn’t matter what kind of ratings Huckabee pulls. He will be off the air in August when he joins up as Romney’s VP. As nauseating as it is I stand by my prediction.

No competition. He isn’t that interesting.

You make it sound like Huckabee only has one topic for his new show (how the prisoners he released went out and killed cops). I don’t think you are being fair.

He can also talk about puppies his son tortured and hung to death. And how he tried as governor to help his son escape the bounds of justice. he could spend an hour or two on how he fooled all those people that he didn’t have a bypass and lost the weight through hard work — and how those suckers bought his dishonest book about it. he’s got lots of fun topics.

While indeed the “slimming” striped shirts are the most jarring part of the photo, the most telling part is the poor dog. If your son had been arrested for torturing and then killing by hanging a poor hound, would you really want your Christmas card to show you choking your dog and yanking its leg to keep it in the photo????

Nope, no real chance of the Huckster huring Rush.

Your facts are incorrect.

Huckabee doesn’t barbecue squirrel. He cooks them in his popcorn popper.

“.....all they really care about is not picking a fight with the left, keep in with their elitist liberal pals like Colmes, Beckel , their own pockets and power...”

And to that list, I would add J.C. Watts. I used to really admire him; but when he stated that he HAD TO vote for Zero because Zero is BLACK; that frosted it for me. I then filed J.C. Watts in the turd brain category!

Well, he may do okay ratings-wise if he plays "Hayride Time in Hog Holler" on his gee-tar once in a while.

“Media Matters suggested that Huckabee would offer a ‘safe harbor’ to advertisers who have no problem with buying ad space on conservative talk radio, just not where Limbaugh is concerned”

What the fudge does Media Matters know about the radio business (or anything, for that matter)?

Our local radio station just read an email they received from Huckabee people promoting his show. The email slammed Rush and Beck with a bunch of left wing insults. If they post it, I’ll post it here.

Somebody is seriously delusional. Only when Huckabee is hosting an interesting guest, I stay on the channel...until the guest leaves.

Check out the pic in reply number three and then think about Governor Huckabee forcing Arkansas school children to have their body fat measured in public.........
