Ed Rollins is my new hero. It was nice to see him turn the tables on Chris Wallace and put that pompous man in his place.
The treatment Fox News and "conservative" celebrities like Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham & Sean Hannity have given to Mike Huckabee is deserving of shame and infamy. Britt Hume is the one who truly disappoints me. I truly thought he would be above joining in the subtle mockery, condescension and propagation of distorted “facts” on this honorable man.
Frankly, I would not at all be surprised if this so-called “blogger” whom Chris Wall claims “overheard” him in a diner talking about Giuliani was nothing other than a free-lance reporter bought and paid for by the news media or a private investigator paid for by a desperate candidate. That is more likely the REAL story. I float my conjecture, “YOU DECIDE”.
Let's reflect as a nation about WHO may have been the real impetus for this SLEAZY tactic. The establishment media pundits have insulted our intelligence from the moment Huckabee climbed to the top of the polls.
The slogan of “we report, you decide” has been undermined beyond repair. Fox News has stooped to using all of the underhanded tactics perfected by the left-wing media to bring down Mike Huckabee to the point they have sounded more juvenile than a convention of playground bullys.
I fully expect to bombard us with talking points to palliate the magnitude of this decisive victory over the next week. I fully expect for them to spend the next few weeks looking for ways to distort the record of Mike Huckabee. I fully expect them to spend the next few weeks to carefully assassinate the character and question the MOTIVES of Governor Mike Huckabee. I expect them to sum this up as only being a victory for "the Christian right".
To that end I say as I said before on my youtube blogs under the pseudynom “DrArbitrage”, the more they insult our intelligence with this nonsense, the more people will look at Huckabee themselves and see that the slander and libel don't ring true. The TRUTH will win.
I am offended and will never view this network in the same light. I don't think Fox understands the number of viewers they have deeply offended. Fox News is biting the hand that feeds it. Do they think that they made it to the top of cable news because they TAUGHT US what to think? Roger Ailes needs to make some serious changes to these panels.
I am deeply disappointed in them and I cling to the hope that if the venerable Tony Snow were still there that he would not have resorted to the despicable character assassination we have witnessed.
The people are speaking. Let's continue to make history.

"Huckabee has proven to be more like Bill Clinton than I could have dreamed."
Someone reports the words uttered by the sleazy ("walking around money") Ed Rollins, discussing campaigns and the sleazy tactics he intends to employ, and you call the reporting Sleazy?
Whew!
I don't care if Rollins was George Washington's campaign manager. He's still a slimeball.
Shows how much you Huckabee haters do your homework.
Oh, there's plenty of material available on Huckabee that confirms why many conservatives won't vote for him.
Enjoy supporting a loser.
There's nothing "moving" Huckabee except for unprecedented liberal media coverage designed to further fracture the GOP and myopic religious conservatives who see Jesus in their morning oatmeal. The real election story is the independents. They'll never vote for Huckster.
Extremely what? Angry? Bitter? Myopic?
In the current FR poll, Huckabee has 2.1% of the vote, not so many.
