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.
“Huck is ONLY there to drain votes from the people the MSM doesn’t like in the Primary.”
I think you’re right.
Better watch out, Palin may need a southerner as her VP.
Yea, well I have had enough sh*t from Arkansas in my lifetime. BTW, there is an extremely qualified and popular pubbie Governor of Virginia available. Also, don’t forget about George Allen. Belive me, the huckster and romnibot ran only because of a weak field - 2012 will be different.
I was a strong sarah palin supporter but it is time for her to come and face the media and show her knowldege on any issue or any question. She just cannot walk into 2012 primary and get the nomination for the president. I like her issues and I agree she will make a great candidate. I am fine that, she is making some money but, if she does have any interest in running for president or any other position in future, she better come out and articulate her views. Just posting in Face book is not enough
That’s a swipe? I talked rougher to my boss this morning.
Dear AuntB, you shall get your wish. In the PR world, making them hungry to hear you is always a great introduction.
Especially not with current poll numbers.
He’s an emotionally extremely needy man with an almost complete disregard for the truth, with one thing going for him: he knows how to lay on the Christianity like the wolf in the sheep’s woolen outfit.
A certain number of people are going to vote for him because of the shellacked and shiny Christianity he talks about more than displays. Just like many blacks voted for Obama BECAUSE he was black.
Huckster talks about being Christian, but he’s no conservative. He just wants to be loved and adored no matter what, like Clinton, Obama, and Gingrich.
I guess you haven’t heard much news the past months.
Sarah Palin this month and over the next few months will be
on several TV Programs including those hosted by liberals.
Dan Riehl has really become sucked in to making nasty personal comments and being unable to rise above the fray.
He did not used to have such a problem with dissent.
I agree with you. I forgot about the book tour. Let us see, how she handles the questions. That will be a window for us to know more about her knowledge on various issues. She should be ready for the garbage from the mainstream media and keep talking to them
I strongly believe that this is exactly what is going to start happening with the Nov. 16 Oprah appearance.
Yes, he is, isn't he? Weak and slimy. Always underhanded and devious. Man, he would be perfect as a loser bad guy on a cop show. The kind that no one suspects at first, but the one who breaks down and cries when he gets caught, begs for forgiveness, but the tries AGAIN to steal the cop's gun.
The other month Sarah Palin gave a major address to international trade exs in Hong Kong
The other evening Sarah Palin gave a pro life speech in Wisconsin
Huck has not only turned off 95% of the Mormons (who vote Republican by a 19-1 ratio) and 75% of the Catholics, but also 60% of the Evangelical Protestants who are supposed to be his base.
He'll up all those numbers by attacking Sarah Palin, who is loved by all three groups.
But it was all closed to the public. More over, she should be ready to answer questions from main stream media. She knows that,she can always walk into any radio show or fox news to do any rebuttal. Bottom line, it is time for her to define.
If unfavorability rate does not go down, it will be hard to get elected. When ever a candidate has more unfavorability rating than favorable rating, the rules are the same for demcorats and republicans. It is statistics probability and she is entering into that territory. So, she has to come out and talk.
Meow! Huck's quite the catty beotch these days. Methinks he's been struck by that ole green-eyed monster.
If looks and attractiveness was ALL that Sarah Palin had going for her, half of the country wouldn't even give her a second thought or glance as a future leader. Huck's jealousy is glaringly apparent. He wishes he had her charisma, charm and ability to motivate huge numbers of conservatives. That, plus Huck probably senses that he needs to grow a pair. (not bloody likely)
AMEN. The only thing that makes Romney worse is that Romney has more money and a tongue more silver using words that are pure music to conservatives' ears, like "The invisible hand of the market is more powerful than the lumbering machinery of the government." Romney is more dangerous because so many Republicans take him at those first words and hear what they so desperately want to hear, never hearing the REST of Mitt's words, which confirm that his actual political policies and proposals advocate the opposite of limited government. Romney is actually more of a threat than Huckabee because he's so much prettier both physically and in his facade of platitudes.
And you're right -- they BOTH need to be booted out of the GOP as any kind of prospective candidate.
