““Does Romney do these?” Huckabee asked the reporters. No, replied one. Neither does Thompson, said another.”
He has a point.
No, and there’s a reason. In the days of youtube, one slip and you’re “Macaca”.
If the Metamucil joke is the best he can do, than humor is not his strength. When Fred responded to Michael Moore AND said some of the one-liners from the debate, THEY were funny. Huckabee’s comment just isn’t.
If he can’t do humor, then he should attempt to respond non-defensively and stay positive...this comment shows that he can’t. It’s obvious that what Thompson said to him hit home...
Huckabee does seem to like talking with reporters a lot more than some other candidates.
