Huckabee Takes Swipe At Sarah Palin

The Huckster took a swipe at Sarah Palin and he did it with a smile. He does everything with a smile, being far from the first snake I've seen that has himself one of those. At least she isn't a Mormon. He might cut her a little bit of slack. Why am I thinking Huck has now read every Palin column Andy Sullivan has ever written?

The Hucky puck doesn't like it that he's being overshadowed by both Palin and Romney, who comes up in the interview, as well. Is Huck's real problem that Sarah may have blown him off as far as appearing on his show? Or is he laying the ground work for 2010? My guess is, it's a little bit of both. The dude should shave his legs and see how he looks in a skirt. Maybe he can compete, maybe not. But it's fairly clear that whatever bit of rock star rep Huck had because he plays the bass is destined to be overshadowed by Sarah Palin no matter what he does.

I doubt any swipes he takes at Palin are going to win him many new fans. And that's just fine and dandy as far as I'm concerned.

“Some of the people who had excoriated me and really been very dismissive of me for views that I had taken, and labeled me anything from a populist to an ignoramus — the same people have been very defensive [of] and laudatory to Sarah Palin,” Huckabee noted, adding that he’d invited her to appear on his weekly Fox show but “could never get any contact.”

“I’m glad she’s getting the props — I know I’m not nearly as attractive,” he said with a guileless grin.

Huckabee is unceasingly pleasant and mild, even in relating his grievances. The same sense of humor is there, too. But so are an obvious frustration and a barely concealed bitterness, as well as the underlying question of whether Huckabee really wants to go through with this again or, instead, succumb fully to the showbiz side that he began polishing as a teenage disc jockey in Hope, Ark.

Keep hope alive, dope. But don't let your Fox contract expire. You might find yourself having problems winning the next job you might desire.

Stay on your show, Huckabee, you can always pretend to be POTUS from there.

But, then any man with a penchant for sheep, young children, a moral superiority compolex and a rumored cocaine habit should be careful with what he says

I never heard any of this. Got links?

Better watch out, Palin may need a southerner as her VP.

Huckabee is a nice man, but will NEVER be a serious contender for President. At best he could be a spoiler that could produce a weaker candidate IMO.

No Huckabee, no McCain, no Romney.
Not going to fly, we nee new, bold ambitions and attractive.
None of the above cuts it or has a chance unless Democrats by 2012 give us a 14% unemployment along with a total banking and stock market crash. (which could happen)

Huck is a slimeball, he’s completely disingenuous.. he and Mitt both need to be jetisonned out of the pool quickly. They are welcome in the party, but neither of them should remotely have any shot at being the standard bearer for the party. They are both two faced political whores.

******************

I couldn't agree more.

If it looks like a doofus, walks like a doofus, talks like a doofus, and makes a fool of itself trying to play musical instruments like a doofus, chances are it IS a doofus!

Nice try Gomer, but your attempt at notoriety has passed. Let Sarah show you how it's done.

Huck is ONLY there to drain votes from the people the MSM doesn’t like in the Primary.

And Huck knows it too. The minute the MSM determines Huck is more of a threat to Democrats than Republicans to his right, he'll have incoming MSM fire on him akin to that of an AC-130H Spectre Gunship.

[opinion] ... Our next president will be a "strong" Catholic (if it's not Obama), for it is only through Catholicism (via the Body of Christ, Rosary, etc.) that one can battle and win against the stronghold the devil has on America now, both through 30+ years of abortion, and our current administration. So Huckabee and Palin or anyone else ... return "Home" first, then seek the election.

I live in NC, I am a preacher and I'm Republican.

Can I volunteer? :D

I tried to watch Huck’s show once, but couldn’t take it. It reminded me of Hee-Haw without the jokes. I wouldn’t vote for him ever.

At least she isn't a Mormon.

She also does not write letters to help rapists get out of prison early. Nor does she raise taxes more than the 2 previous democrat governors did. Like the huckster did.
The huckster and cut and run Paul were the only 2 people running on the Republican side who were worse than McCrazy. If the Huckster wins the primary we can count on 4 more years of Osama.

If Huck doesn't need proof to make an innuendo; why does anyone else? These are the rules the he created, I simply have chosen to play by those rules. He threw the gauntlet down; I just picked it up.

IMHO, you play by the rules set forth by the attacker, as they are not wise enough to understand the merits of debating based upon facts and logic - why, let's Mormon bash instead. Let's attack Palin because she looks hot in a swimsuit. So, I thought it only reasonable that some baseless allegations get tossed his way too.

Just some simple yes/no questions. So, does Huckabee still beat his wife? Has he sought help for a cocaine addiction? Has he overcome his penchant for small children, sheep and hamsters?

Huckster will never get a single vote in this house— not even for dog catcher or even dog walker.

His comments about Mormons and Mitt Romney were nothing to be proud of.
I am not Mormon- nor will I ever be, but his behavior was not acceptable.
Now he is going after someone I do support.

Careful, Huckster.
Some people like me have very long memories.

The Huckabee ought to stick to his FOX-TV gig. He’s never going to win another election.

BTW, he’s packing the pounds back on again. Easy living!

Why do people give this jerk a damn TV show? “

He also has a readio comment time- took over Paul Harvey’s slot when Paul died.

Isn’t that considered a large advantage in anything political?

I agree with you dale.

Is DB9 just another newbie with an axe to grind against conservatives by stirring the pot and agitating the base?

To DB9 and all you other Huck haters here:

Back the Huck Off.

Huckabee is the white Baptist male version of Oprah.
