Another relic from G.H.W.Bush's administration.

Mosbacher moved from Texas to Georgetown during Bush 41, and promptly became fixture on the Beltway cocktail circuit.

Then she ran McCain 2000. Now she's doing Huckabee's campaign. Do I still have to keep paying for my vote for Bush Sr. in 2007?

Already picked up by ABC:

Wow, weak minds abound.

Barnett [Weekly Standard] regarding ranking of candidates in last night's debate:

1) "Mike Huckabee: Huckabee deftly parried Thompson's aggressive and spirited attacks early in the debate. It was a battle on terrain that was unfriendly to Huckabee, and Thompson attacked with skill. And yet Huckabee got out of the exchange unscathed.

The exchange with Thompson came early in the debate, and Huckabee was just getting warmed up. For the first time in this campaign, Huckabee looked like a credible commander in chief when the conversation turned to those Iranian speedboats. His normal joviality vanished, replaced by an appropriate gravity.

Then he got even better. He seized on a characteristic piece of Ron Paul idiocy to give a spirited speech defending America's commitment to Israel. Again, he looked credible as a commander in chief. But this was also an extremely shrewd piece of politicking. Conservative foreign policy types obviously loved it as did pro-Israel people. But Huckabee's core audience of conservative Christians, a much larger segment of the society than either of the other two groups, adored it also.

Mike Huckabee's an exceptional politician whose package of skills is often sold short. He's a lot more than an affable dispenser of one-liners who only knows how to play to the home crowd. For people who might be inclined to dismiss Huckabee, compare his response to Thompson's adroit offensive with McCain's blundering into the climate warming thicket. These two are the likely finalists, and one of them is much better at politics than the other.

Here's what I said on November 28, the night of the YouTube debate, the night that catapulted Huckabee to his huge lead in Iowa: "Was this a seismic night? I'll give that one a big yes. Tonight heralded the arrival of Mike Huckabee as a force in this race. Not a spoiler, not a wildcard, but a force."

Although fewer people watched last evening's festivities, tonight was even bigger for Huckabee. For the first time, it was not only possible but easy to imagine Huckabee as the leader of 300 million people. He combined this newfound authority with his old standbys of off-the-charts likability and a deft way of tapping into aspirational politics.

In the race for the Republican nomination, Mike Huckabee is going to be tough to beat."

In the race for the Republican Democrat nomination, Mike Huckabee is going to be tough to beat."

Now it makes sense.

[Petronski]

That’s funny right there.

[Petronski]

Having that video out there is bad enough.

Having it linked on FR and ABC is brutal.

[NeoCaveman]

OK, what is old money like Mossbacher doing around the populist candidate?

[Petronski]

Barrett’s got a tin ear or a drinking problem. “Deftly parried?”

Someone on Team Huckster must have dirt on this guy.

[Yaelle]

ARE THESE PEOPLE KIDDING???? NEWT FEELS LIKE THIS TOO????

Is the world upside down? I have lost ALL respect for Newt if he is a Huckhead.

"WASHINGTON - Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee appears to be using Mitt Romney’s Mormon faith as a wedge issue to attract evangelical voters in the early states, political scientists say, a move that in part seems to be helping Huckabee stay ahead in Iowa polls.
Huckabee, an ordained Baptist minister, aired a TV commercial in Iowa recently telling voters he is a “Christian leader,” a move that could be seen as a veiled hit on Romney, whose faith is viewed as heretical by some Protestant evangelicals. And Huckabee has so far refused to say whether he believes the LDS Church is a cult, as his Southern Baptist religion labels the church.
In Sunday’s New York Times Magazine, Huckabee goes even further when asked if he believes Mormons are cultists. While first saying he didn’t know much about Mormonism, Huckabee then asks the reporter in an “innocent voice”: “Don’t Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?”
Some political observers say Huckabee, now the leading GOP candidate in Iowa polls, is raising the issues of Romney’s faith as a campaign tactic.
“I think he knows it’s clearly an issue with his base,” says Kelly Patterson, director of the Center for the Study of Elections and Democracy at the LDS Church-owned Brigham Young University. “He’s sending signals through his advertisements and his comments that his base will understand."

IMO his behavior towards the other candidates and his President is despicable, and should not be rewarded.

Barnett moves farther left each day...

[DCPatriot]

Trish...that's just another flip remark made by the usual suspects in the peanut gallery.

I am simply pointing out observations by good big C conservative columnists who have earned our respect and write the truth, however bittersweet.

[roses of sharon]

Weird, so much for the evil wealthy and successful, that he slams in his sermons...I mean campaign speeches.

Let’s find out if Mossbacher has ever LAID ANYONE OFF???

[DCPatriot]

...because he writes against the popular grain in here?

December 20, 2007 — RAY Kelly keeps one eye on crime and the other on fashion. At Georgette Mosbacher’s holiday hoedown, the dapper top cop admired the seduce-me stilettos on Monica Crowley, complimented the silver necktie on Ralph Rucci, and deftly extracted the safety pin a dry cleaner left on the jacket of Richard Turley. When a pride of partygoers pressed Kelly to run for mayor, he said he won’t look at a possible race until after the presidential scrum plays itself out. Asked which candidate the hostess was backing, Nora Ephron cracked, “Georgette is only supporting presidential candidates she’s slept with.” (Mosbacher reportedly had a fling with Fred Thompson before he got married.) Cable kingpins being greeted by the tomato-tressed Mosbacher included Fox News chief Roger Ailes and Fox’s Bill O’Reilly, Neil Cavuto and Monica Crowley, CNBC’s Larry Kudlow and CNN president Jon Klein. A clutch of conservatives included Rush Limbaugh, John Podhoretz and Christopher Buckley. Former Tennessee congressman Harold Ford Jr. looked resilient after narrowly losing last year’s senate race. Ed Rollins, now heading up the brain trust for Mike Huckabee, accepted congratulations on his new horse’s tailwind.

She really wants that White House doesn’t she, yelling at the help, lol!

Can’t imagine Laura Bush yelling and pointing fingers in public.

She’s class.
