MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. Asked about Fred Thompsons hatchet attack against him at Thursday's Republican debate, Mike Huckabee joked to Joe Scarborough that he thought Fred needs some Metamucil. I think it would help a lot if he gets some. You know, he was in a bad mood last night.
On the bus with reporters on Route 96 in Michigan from Lansing to Grand Rapids, Huckabee explained his Metamucil comment saying, You have to understand the context of the show .Its not quite as irreverent as Imus not quite Stephen Colbert but its serious topics with an edge.
I really do believe if people cant have some sense of humor as they approach this stuff, then it causes everybody to be so locked down and consultant driven that their campaigns become so boring because all theyre going to do is give this robotic answer to everything thats very carefully scripted. I promise you, you wont have moments like this, Huckabee said, gesturing to the handful of reporters that had gathered around him for an on-the-record conversation that would last about 40 minutes.
Does Romney do these? Huckabee asked the reporters. No, replied one. Neither does Thompson, said another.
If I thought I couldnt be a human being. That I gotta wait till six handlers tell me what I can and cant say and I have to read it, you know, its not worth it.
He didn’t do so well with judgmental people like you and Big Jim Dobson.
I’m fine with that, and I’m sure Fred is too.
That’s my man, Mike.
Our candidate, who ever that might be is going to have to be witty though. If not the Dems will have a field day.
That's so true. LOL
Free Republic didn’t turn on Poop Joke Mikey.
Poop Joke Mikey turned on us.
You are out of order!
Balliff!
Playing a bass guitar does not qualify a person to be POTUS.
Apparently people bought in to the down home saxphone player, and look how that turned out.
I don’t think anyone arond here probably “owes him” the status of POTUS because he played the bass at an event.
It’s so ironic that a Huckabee supporter would post that picture.
Suckers!
Sometimes irony can be so damned ironic!
We don't even iron our supporters.
But, daaaaamnation!
Hellfire, evun!
These outrageous Huckabee jokers!
Socialsts! Liberals! Blamer-Americans! Christian rascal types!
Since there is such an issue on where Christian candidate stands maybe we should have a Christian debate. Let the one’s that are interested in reaching out to the Christian voter explain why he’s the best guy.
No, the supporters are already "flatheads". Meant with good nature. LOL
That’s a very good idea.
Good grief. I'm a true-to-life fundamentalist Christian (i.e. more conservative than the Evangelicals), and taking over the GOP is about the last thing I would want to do.
I AM glad to report, however, that I've personally seen and aided in the conversion of several Huckabee supporters over to Fred, including a few pastors, many just in the last week alone.
Thus you judge and deny the same. Hypocrite.
As a Christian, it is my duty to judge, and I want a president that knows how to judge rightly too. We are not electing vegetables are we.
Poop Joke Mikey turned on us.
Yeah, whatever Petronski. Mike Huckabee was one of the few elected politicians to give public support to FR. Get back to me when Fred does.
BTW, it seems that I have been put into FR "purgatory", not banned to hell, but yet I have to stew about my sins against FR, because all my replies have to wait akin to an "eternity"(about 20 minutes) before they are posted.
Huckabee does not have the class, intelligence and “gravitas” to be POTUS. Every time the Huckster tries to be “hip” and “cool” like this, the little esteem in which I hold him is decreased more.
The Huckster has proved to be very snide lately—not exactly an admirable quality for someone who purports to be “a witness for Christ.”
MMM. Dr. Dobson could host it. They could even ...gasp...invite Duncan Hunter.
He wasn’t running for President then. I’m sorry, sometimes one has to grow up and act like an adult when they’re applying for an adult position.
Congratulations.
You’ve earned it.
