Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee says he was surprised by John McCain’s pick of Sarah Palin because he believes the only difference between himself and the Alaska governor is “she looks better in stilettos than I do.”
Reflecting on the Palin pick in an interview with the New Yorker posted Monday, Huckabee told the magazine that “I was scratching my head, saying, ‘Hey, wait a minute. She’s wonderful, but the only difference was she looks better in stilettos than I do, and she has better hair.’”
Huckabee insisted that Palin “was given a pass by some of the very people who said I wasn’t prepared.” “It wasn’t so much a gender issue, but it was like they suddenly decided that everything they disliked about me was O.K,” he said.

*LOL* I won’t reveal my pet nickname for Huckabee...my hubby says it’s unladylike. *L*
Huckabee or for that matter any other Republican leader should be very happy they were not picked by McCain as his running mate. They should send flowers and greeting cards to Sarah Palin otherwise their political future would have been destroyed. Sarah is the only politician that would take all the abuse and still thrive among the base. I just can’t wait to see all the wannabes slip one by one in the ratings and disappear into obscurity. Huckabee should write a check for 2500 to Palin Presidential Fund and shut up his mouth the next four years
From within and without the GOP, the campaign is to reduce Sarah Palin to an airhead beauty queen whose only appeal to the electorate is below the belt.
This isn’t about making her into another Dan Quayle. This is about making her into a Hooters girl.
Thanks for posting the stripe shirt Huck photo. I do love that reminder of his nitwittery!
Huck-has-been?
Hucka-not-to-bee?
Unluckabee?
He annoys me more and more every time he opens his mouth. Why Fox has given a show, and increasing status as a “pundit” is beyond me.

maybe they gave him a show to DEcrease his status as a pundit. it would be another failure for him
I’d vote for the Hooters girl!!!
“This isn’t about making her into another Dan Quayle. This is about making her into a Hooters girl.”
well she didn’t help when she winked and blew kisses.
He nothing more than Bill Clinton (minus the woman thing as far as I know) disguised as a Baptist preacher. I used to be a big supporter until I wised up to his real politics.
I think ‘Bill Richardson of the GOP’ is being kind.

ABC Radio Networks and Governor Mike Huckabee Team to Launch The Huckabee Report
Last update: 1:11 p.m. EST Nov. 13, 2008
DALLAS, Nov 13, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Short Form Radio News Feature To Air Twice Daily
ABC Radio Networks announced today that it has signed former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee to its extensive roster of news/talk talent. The Huckabee Report will be broadcast weekday mornings and afternoons and provide listeners with the top news stories of the day while also drawing on Huckabee's experiences as a former governor and presidential candidate. The short form news features will launch on Jan. 5, 2009.
"It's truly an honor to add someone of Governor Huckabee's stature to our portfolio," said Jim Robinson, President of ABC Radio Networks. "His perspective on the day's leading issues and events as they relate to American culture and policies is sure to resonate with radio audiences looking for the latest headlines mixed with a bit of humor and common sense. This partnership has tremendous potential and will be a key win for our affiliates in the coming year." Huckabee has authored six books including the recently released Do The Right Thing, which chronicles his campaign for the presidency and his views on the need for vertical politics in America. He is also the host of Huckabee on Fox News Channel.
"My first job at the age of 14 was reading the early morning news, sports, weather and even commercials at our local radio station, so in a sense, this is an opportunity for me to return to my roots," said Governor Huckabee. "I worked my way through high school and college in radio and loved every minute of it. The team at ABC Radio Networks has a stellar reputation for syndicating news programming and I'm pleased that I'll be partnering with them as I reach out to Americans across the airwaves."

What an a-hole! There is so many differences it isn’t even close...
oh then he is really pushing hard.
Won’t get me to listen.
Hmmm, I don’t recall Mr. Huckabee ever walking away from a six-figure job on principle or fighting corruption within his own party.
“And she wiped the floor with Joe Biden in their debate.”
I wouldn’t say that... or with her other interviews
