Gov. Mike Huckabee and his wife, Janet, are registered for home furnishing gifts at Target and Dillard’s department stores as they prepare to leave the Governor’s Mansion in January and move into a house they recently purchased in North Little Rock.

Gifts requested at Dillard’s for Janet and Mike Huckabee include 24 place settings of Lenox “Holiday Nouveau” china and stemware (from $14 to $40 a piece), Biddeford bed linens (king and queen bed skirts from $89 to $99), an oval pot rack ($60), an asparagus pot ($30), a KitchenAid mixer ($300) and a Jack LaLanne power juicer ($100).

The Jack LaLanne juicer is also on the Target list, along with a Kitchen Essentials 12-piece cookware set ($250) and cookie sheet ($20), Fieldcrest bed linens (from $30 to $144), rugs (from $25 to $150), and table linens, potholders and kitchen towels (from $2 to $13) and more.

Target’s registry also notes: “Message from the couple: Target GiftCards are welcome.” They can be purchased in amounts from $10 to $1,000.

There's just something strange about Arkansas governors who want to become president.

Come to think about it there's something strange about Georgia governors who BECOME president!

The registry was set up by friends of the Huckabee’s. Not the Huckabee’s the themselves.

Kinda blasphemous to be registered at Target in Walmart-owned Arkansas isn’t it?

;)

....and another thing. This clown is supposed to be practically penniless. How can he buy a house?

Who in hell wants a president who is a failure at managing his money?

Dear Santa Claus, How have you been? Did you have a nice summer? How is your wife? I have been extra good this year, so I have a long list of presents that I want. Please note the size and color of each item, and send as many as possible. If it seems too complicated, make it easy on yourself: just send money. How about tens and twenties?

Not registered at WAL-MART, an Arkansas based store?! Too low-class for Gomer Huckleberry, I suppose (although he did live in a mobile home while governor).

I’m no fan of them, but find nothing wrong with this. They know so many people as compared to the average folk. What’s the difference if friends call each other to get information about their gift choices?

Huckabee’s campaign is who is low on funds.

Why am I not surprised that this character wants Lenox china called “Holiday Nouveau”?

The Huckabees are buying the house at 1134 Silverwood Trail for $ 525, 000, he said.

The nearly 7, 000-squarefoot, tri-level house - built on a 49, 096-square-foot lot, with a swimming pool, a finished basement and five and a half baths - is in the Shady Valley subdivision.

Royalties from the governor's book, Quit Digging Your Grave with a Knife and Fork, released in May 2005, allowed the Huckabees to make a down payment and get a bank loan to buy a house of that size, he said. The Huckabees are also selling a house they own on Lake Greeson in Pike County, he said.
