Worse than that, Leno is also a member of the writers guild. He hasn’t gotten paid himself during the strike and if he writes any of the jokes for his show he’ll be in violation of his contract according to guild rules.

“You seem to have forgotten your man Huckleberry will be rewarding them with poverty level tax rebates. Duh.”

And your point is what? Do you understand the purpose of the rebate? It’s what makes the entire scheme progressive, rather than regressive. Similar to a flat tax with a standard deduction. Again, I’m haven’t made up my mind on the fair tax, but Huckabee is the only candidate so far who’s willing to tackle a bold change in tax policy along the lines that conservatives should applaud, not denigrate.

What kind of guitar ran $99 bucks in 1966? And why would you spend that much for a kid?

I like how he tells the story of his cheap wedding rings like it makes him a hero. Hers was $11, his was $22. Yeah they're cheap, and that's cute, but what kind of man spends more on his ring than hers?

Wish he’d kept up the guitar lessons. Maybe he wouldn’t be running for Prez right now. BTW, if he lives by WWJD, I’d be surprised if Jesus would have claimed to be above showing an indicting commercial just before showing it to the press. I wouldn’t be surprised if his operatives weren’t the ones behind the rumor that Thompson is quitting. I doubt if Jesus would have hired Ed Rollins, who wants to beat people up. Somehow in spite of their flaws, I can’t see “Walkin’ Around Money” Rollins sitting at the Last Supper.

Ummm I think he said it was a gift.

And perhaps he did have a paper route, or cut grass. But if he didn’t, would you vote for say Obama instead if he indeed DID cut grass and Huckabee didn’t?

I dunno...if you think about it he very well could have lived in more upscale surroundings on the tax-payer dime but declined. I know the Clintoons wouldn’t have stayed in a trailer during governor mansion renovations...

are you kiddin’ me? Hildebeest wouldn’t put up with that nonsense for a NY minute!

Ummmmm he was 11 years old in 1966! Did you want him to go to war before he got out of middle school?

The more posts I read on this thread the more I think the place is infested with DU!

And no I don’t support the Huckster, but these posts are loonier than the Ru-Paulys!

perhaps so, but then again what we have in place now, they do that AND don’t pay jack in sales taxes.

RIGHTTTTT. Bet He got a military deferment to go to “preacher” college.

I believe Huckabee would have been 17 when the last draft was held.

Huckabee had to cross a picket line to appear on Leno's show, despite earlier saying he supported the writers. Picket signs read, "Huckabee is a scab," and, "Huckabee, what would Jesus do?"

Odd, no picket signs for Leno or Letterman?

Hillary was smart enough to continue avoiding questions in public, instead offerring a rehearsed taping of a phrase. Something akin to Richard Nixon on Laugh-In saying “Sock it to me?”

My parents spent $300 on a used guitar for me in 1966.

A good guitar was fairly expensive in 1966 since most of them were made by Americans in American factories. The same guitar I got for $300 in 1966 would sell for over $2,000 today.

"Huckabee claims he didn't know," chief union negotiator John Bowman said. "I don't know what that means in terms of trusting him as a future president."

So Arkansas Bill plays the the sax, and Arkansas Huck plays the bass. Need I say more?

I can't believe I am saying this but in all fairness to Clinton it takes a lot more practice to learn to play rudimentary saxophone than it does rudimentary bass.

Who needs striking writers when you can have Uncle Chuckles Huckabee’s stand-up routine?

>>So...Letterman is a union buster?<<

He negotiated with the writers to make a deal, so some of the union writers are writing for his show. Apparently some of the union hard-liners don’t approve of this “special deal” because a few of the members are working for Letterman, while the rest are still unemployed. Judge for yourself whether Letterman is a “union buster.”

You could claim that Leno is a scab, since he is writing his own material, but as I understand it, Leno is a member of their union, so it’s a strange situation.
