>>Except that then we wouldn’t know what he meant, LOL.<<
The only way I know what he meant is from the context in English, because Huckenfreude does not mean “fear of Huck,” but would mean “Hucken-joy.”
On German freeways, “Ausfahrt” means exit. Sounds like something else. :)
Very true. I do like Fred, btw, just that his style doesn’t exactly wow the public at this time. He comes across (to independents like those in my family) like the Perry Como of Presidential candidates.
Look up the German word for shower; that one always caused a chuckle in German class.

“Shower” in French is spelled exactly the same as the English word you are thinking of: “d**che”
Remember the Chevrolet NOVA, which means “won’t run” in Spanish?
There should be a website somewhere that has non-English words that sound funny to English speakers.
So far, this has been a fascinating primary season. We’ve been putting our money behind Fred, who I still like. There’s something about Huckabee that I just don’t like, and I’m a conservative Christian homeschooler.
This Southern Baptist supports Fred Thompson.
And, I’m smarter than the author of this piece of garbage.
The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.
An evil soul producing holy witness,
Is like a villain with smiling cheek;
A goodly apple rotten at the heart;
O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!

Wow, you’ve posted that picture 19 times. 8 times in your last 10 comments. Do you have anything else to add to the discussion besides posting an old family picture?
The name ‘Huckabee’ will never win a national election.
They fear him because they should. He is frightening.
I'm not real keen on Huckabee myself but I would vote for him in the general election and could vote for him in the primaries depending on who is still in the race at that point. In other words, Huckabee isn't my least favorite candidate.
I'm not worried. I don't like him because he's dishonest. The Huckster is a liberal, and now that people are finding out about him, they are dropping their support for him. He's sinking in the polls as fast as he was rising in them.
As far as the Huckster being a "Baptist Preacher" goes, it's time we set the record straight about that. He is NOT a Baptist minister, nor is he a "Christian leader." He WAS a preacher............but he deceived and/or lied to them about his "degree in theology" and was fired. He is a fraud, of the worst kind. He's a member of the Council of Foreign Relations, and is a globalist to the bone. IOW, he supports losing all of the American jobs to other countries......in the name of globalism. He supports open borders and amnesty, but he doesn't support the Constitution or our laws.
He used his position as governor of Arkansas to kill an investigation in which his son would have been prosecuted. He is very supportive of criminals and believes in letting murderers and other felons out of prison so they can kill again. So, yeah, I guess you could say that I really dislike him.
Here ya go.
Boy, he sure looks sincere.
It’s similar to the Democrats who promote and support the homos same-sex marriage crowd, but would not want to have an openly homo married guy as their candidate for US President.
Gov. Huckabee is a great Baptist Pastor. He has a big lovable open heart worthy of praise and respect.
But elevating a Christian salesman (for lack of a better word) to the pinnacle of power in the Republican Party, and to the top of the United States via the White House, would play into the most paranoid stereotypes in the analytical media, not to mention within the GOP itself.
Besides, preachers just don’t make good politicians. Yes, they have empathy and are good hearted and kind. But in today’s rough and tumble world, having a Southern Baptist representing the GOP would push many conservatives into the no-vote category.
And many liberals into fired-up mode.
A Huckabee candidacy would cause a 49-state Democrat sweep in ‘08.
The only state that would go for Huckabee is Arkansas, and even THAT might not occur by time the Huckster is sliced and diced up this summer.
‘Cuz he’s a Food and Smoke Gnatzie who wants to tell me how to live my life and tax the heck outta me while he does it? (And I don’t even smoke and I’m not over weight.)
