Is Huckabee like some preschooler who is fixated on bodily functions?

It doesn’t it occur to Preacher Huckabee that making juvenile comments on an “irreverent” show is unbecoming of any candidate seeking the office of POTUS. Apparently the more important thing is “having fun.” But really, what it comes down to is that Huckabee knows Fred mopped the floor with him in the last debate.

Again with Huckabee: no class, no genuine respect for the office he seeks.

Guess he likes that bodily function retort. He used a similar one in Arkansas. From a November Salon article by an Arkansas journalist:

Even editorialists and columnists at the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, the state’s dominant (and Republican-friendly) daily paper, use words like “petty” and “thin-skinned” to describe Huckabee. Then again, he’s compared hard-hitting (and accurate) news reporters for the Democrat-Gazette to the press fabulists Jayson Blair and Janet Cooke. He called liberal columnist John Brummett of Stephens Media “constipated” when that early admirer commenced some gentle criticism. His administration paid $15,000 to settle a suit filed by Roby Brock, the host of a public TV news show whom Huckabee’s people tried to force off the air for his critical commentary.

Then there’s me. I’m the editor of an alternative weekly, but I began covering Huckabee when I was a columnist for the now-defunct daily Arkansas Gazette in 1991, and Mike and I have been on the outs pretty much ever since. He once called me and the Memphis Commercial Appeal bureau chief “junkyard journalists” for our reporting. He also compared me, in print, to serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer and, I’ve been told on good authority, has wished aloud for my early and violent demise.

Apparently.  See below....

Huckabee often describes unpleasant tasks as ‘‘about as much fun as a colonoscopy.’’ He once told a reporter from The Washington Post that his rock band doesn’t get women tossing their panties on the stage because ‘‘given our demographics, we’re more likely to have old men throwing their Depends at us.’’

Well, I think 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.
