Get ready for a political Twilight Zone. In this clip from Huckabee on Fox News, The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg tries to convince former Governor Mike Huckabee that we live in treacherous times that justify the current police state security measures at the airport. Wonder if it was President Bush, and not Obama, who instituted the TSA pat-downs whether Huckabees uneasiness and Goldbergs compliance would be reversed?
In response to Huckabee saying he is not happy about a government employee going into peoples pants at the airport, Goldberg reminds him no its not comfortable and its not the way I would like to live, but if its going to keep me from getting blown out of the sky, you can check anything you want. And if you feel something you like and squeeze it, what am I going to do?

These “pat downs” are saving Whoopi 20 grand a year. That’s what she was paying homeless guys for her weekly “treatments.”
Frieds in LA tell me that she goes to LAX almost every day and, grinning from ear-to-ear, cycles through the checkpoint 20 and 30 times.
I’ll disagree here. I watched the segment and it seemed consistent with what I’ve heard from her elsewhere - she may be a moonbat but she’s her own moonbat. As with the walk-out episode on the View, she does what she feels like, even when it works against her self-interest (as with the added publicity she ended up giving O’Reilly). At least has the courage to stand for her beliefs, goofy as we may think they are. When asked by Huck if she’d ever said anything on the air she wished she hadn’t, Whoopi replied without hesitation “Not one word”. Certainly a lot of what she said about the TSA goes against popular opinion and the positions of most liberals.
Again, we may disagree with everything she says or every opinion she holds, but that’s what America is all about. I’d much rather have libs like Whoopi in the media than those like Olbermann, Maddow, Matthews, or Joy Behar who twist facts and opinion together and offer their own perverse hybrid as “the truth”.
Darn tootin’!
If Bush was President, these T&A TSA acts would be deemed forms of ‘slavery’ and ‘torture.’
Whoopi says “if its going to keep me from getting blown out of the sky, you can check anything you want”. Does that include young muslim men?
And let alone monitoring cell phone calls, remember the uproar over library books? Now.....crickets.
OMG - Bush would be slammed day and night - 24/7 365 !!
Calls for impeachment!!
Yeah, Allred is another tool. She’d have clients up the wazoo if a Republican admin did this.
I can understand her position seeing that is probably the only attention she can get.What a nasty woman.
For her it may be the only way she can get a “squeeze.”
Notice how nice and at ease Huckahillbilly is talking with this trash?
He was on another Fox show singing the praises of Whoopi, saying what a really nice person she is...
Excuse me? This woman brags about arranging abortions for her teen age daughters. She is one of the most vile and hateful liberals on TV.
The Huckster has real issues with judgment...well, I guess she’s not a serial murderer...so how bad could she be, right Huck?
And abortions for her daughter...well, it’s not like she tortured a dog or anything...
NO HUCKAHILLBILLY!
He is a phony. There is a reason his show has no ratings...
I’ll bet Ms Whoop does not fly commercial airlines and if she does she gets “special” treatment.
Come on, who would grope Whoopi or Claire McCaskill willingly?
No wonder they are tickled with the love pats. Aw, shucks!
That’s hysterical!
She was being sweet as pie...just trying to sell her book.
I feel sorry for the unlucky TSA employee that has that assignment.
Even the idiots over on the DU have changed their position on the scanning and patting. Last week they were 100% for the TSA, now after these horror stories are coming out they can no longer defend it, and voicing their opinions strongly.
A real way to stop terrorism would be to use Whoopi’s face as one of the 72 virgins they will meet if they follow the radical path.
And she had a willing accomplice in Huckahillbilly.
This is why he is unelectable!
His judgment is seriously flawed!
I doubt she's ever flown commercial in the past ten years.
I don’t know where you’re getting your information from, but liberals (and Muslim Marxists) from Bambi and Napolitano on down are supporting the TSA procedures.
That’s where dimbulb Whoopi is getting her marching orders.
That said, the ACLU is apparently opposing this, which could actually be a good thing.
I’m glad Whoopi finds this a pleasant experience, but most of us don’t - I just cancelled my flights and my hotel for Christmas. I’m staying home or going someplace I can drive.
She’ll probably acknowledge it’s an assault, but not an “assault-assault”
