Breaking: Mike Huckabee‘s final “Huckabee” will air tonight, TVNewser has learned. Huckabee will announce on his show that he is parting ways with Fox News as he explores the possibility of a presidential run. The show was taped at Fox News studios in Manhattan this evening and will air tonight at 8 pm ET.
Huckabee began hosting his weekend show in Sept., 2008, months after he dropped out the race for the 2008 GOP nomination. In 2011, the former Arkansas governor teased on the May 14 episode of “Huckabee” that he would make a big announcement. At the time it was thought Huckabee would jump into the 2012 presidential race. Instead, the announcement was that he would be staying with Fox News.
Fox News executives have made it clear, that any host or contributor who is eyeing a presidential run would have to step aside from the network. Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum were both contributors when, in March 2011, Fox News suspended their contracts as they sought the GOP presidential nomination.
“Huckabee” is often the most-watched show on Fox News on the weekends.
Developing…
An FNC spokesperson confirmed the network has amicably parted ways with Huckabee as it was in the best of both of their interests.
I supported him last time he ran and I will do so again.
Bring back War Story’s!

This is how I knew that Palin wasn't running through all of 2011 in spite all the endless Palinista claims that she was that year.
She was employed by FNC as a political commentator in 2011 on Greta mostly.
She obviously told FNC higher ups that she had no intention of running but still teased their audience that she might.
He should never have been on. His actions in releasing criminals led to police being murdered.
Palinistas like to be teased! ;)
War STORIES. Learn how to read and write.
Well I am really good at that :)
The pro-Common Core stance of the former governor is of new interest now that Huckabee is contemplating a run for the presidency in 2016.

Flags lowered in honor of slain police officers
Mayor Denis LawFor the second time this month, I have had the flags on city facilities lowered to half-staff in honor of four more police officers who were slain in the line of duty. Hopefully this is the last time.
This entire state is mourning over the senseless execution of five police officers in two separate ambushes in recent weeks. There was relief and even a moment of jubilation when the news broke Tuesday morning that Maurice Clemmons had been killed by a Seattle Police officer, but the shock of these execution-style killings continues.
Police agencies throughout the region have done a masterful job of working together to apprehend Clemmons before more people were killed. And we’re especially happy that no other officers were victimized by this killer who was armed with a gun taken from one of his victims in Lakewood.
The excitement over the capture of Clemmons will soon revert back to the sorrow surrounding the deaths of these officers in Pierce County. Nine children have lost a father or mother. Families and friends are just beginning to realize that their loved one will never return home.
Our hearts and prayers go out to all of the Lakewood police officers and other city employees who have lost four of their friends and colleagues. If this had happened in Renton, I can’t begin to imagine how we would cope with losing four of our officers to a cold-blooded killer who had no business being out of jail in the first place.
The public and police officers throughout the nation have reason to be outraged against a criminal justice system that is indirectly responsible for the deaths of these officers. Clemmons has been preying on society since he was a teenager, amassing enough felony convictions to keep him in prison for the rest of his life. We can thank former Governor Mike Huckabee for taking it upon himself to decide that Clemmons, serving a 95-year sentence for a multitude of violent crimes in Arkansas, was rehabilitated and deserved another chance. And questions need to be answered as to why this career criminal could post a low bail to gain his freedom while being held on child rape charges and facing at least seven other felony charges in Pierce County, including assaulting police officers this past May.
The impact of these recent tragedies will linger for some time. And it’s important for us to understand the fear that now exists with the wives, husbands and children of our police officers as they leave for work each day, knowing the dangers they face while trying to protect others. One of our residents wrote me that we need to let all of our officers know that we appreciate their efforts to protect us. I agree, and there has never been a better time.
Our world would be less dependable and our lives less tranquil if these brave men and women weren’t there when we called. They are willing to put their lives on the line and wear the uniforms that make them targets just to protect us. Saying thank you hardly seems adequate, but it is worth saying and worth remembering.
Hucklebee should contact FOX and beg for his job back. No way he wins the nomination.
