The first Republican primary is months away, but in the race to see which GOP candidate could make the most of the legal battle over a Kentucky clerk's refusal to grant same-sex marriage licenses, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee emerged a winner Tuesday, thanks to the efforts of an aide to block 2016 rival Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) from joining Huckabee at Davis' side.

Both presidential candidates were present at the rally at the jail holding Kim Davis, the Rowan County Clerk. But according to a New York Times report of the day's events, a Huckabee aide physically stood in Cruz's path to Davis' side as she and Huckabee appeared in front of the media after her release from jail:

When Senator Cruz exited the jail a throng of journalists beckoned him toward their microphones, but an aide to Mr. Huckabee blocked the path of Mr. Cruz, who appeared incredulous.

Moments later, Mr. Huckabee appeared, joined by Ms. Davis. He stuck close to her side as she approached the reporters, and again when she took the stage, and cast her fight as a choice of tyranny or religious freedom..........................

[virtualobserver]

1. sounds a bit Hitlerian and Stormtroopery

Thankfully Huckabee can never be President.....we would all end up living in that Margaret Atwood novel....The Handmaid's Tale

[Fred Sanders]

50. Much like Trump's mafia goon assaulted a protester, they are trying to out-Fascist each other....

It is a crowded field and religious zealotry is Huck's turf, no other dog gets to pee on that long cultivated turf!

Anyone else notice that Kim Davis is even more batshit crazy?

7. Money shot?

That is defined as the scene in a porn flick where a man ejaculates.
What was the headline writer thinking?

[7wo7rees]

8. Trendy and COOL! "MONEY SHOT, BABY!". nt

[leftofcool]

9. Well, it was Huckleboy and you know these things make him, uh...........you know.

[nichomachus]

20. I think you're giving your film viewing habits away

A money shot is a moving or stationary visual element of a film, video, television broadcast, or print publication that is disproportionately expensive to produce and/or is perceived as essential to the overall importance or revenue-generating potential of the work.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_shot

[VanillaRhapsody]

29. I'd say that pretty much describes it actually....

[Demeter]

55. Also known in literature for centuries as "the climax"

[CBGLuthier]

46. That is not the only definition.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_shot


Originally, in general film-making usage, the "money shot" was simply the scene that cost the most money to produce. In general, a money shot (also called a money-making shot) is a provocative, sensational, or memorable sequence in a film, on which the film's commercial performance is perceived to depend. The scene may or may not be a special-effects sequence, but may be counted on to become a selling point for the film.

[Mr. Evil]

75. Huckabee? Money shot?

BWAAAAAHAAAAHAAAAHAAAAHAAAA!!!!!!

[PDittie]

76. I would have preferred "Huck-blocked"

Even more cool and trendy.

[mike in raleigh]

86. Eeeewwwwww!

Mentioning Huckabee and/or Cruz in the same sentence as a money shot? Quick, bring me the brain bleach!

[TwilightGardener]

10. And then Cruz sprayed Huckleberry in the eye with seltzer, and

Huck startled him by tooting a loud horn in his ear, and then they piled into a tiny car and zigzagged away.

[klook]

85. Bwah-ha-haa!

That made me literally laugh out loud in an eatery over lunch! Thanks for the chuckle.

[Jim__]

11. How is tough guy Cruz going to stand up to ISIS when he backs down to a single Huckabee aide? - n/t

[cntrygrl]

88. I doubt if he ever has to worry about that.

[orange you glad]

12. Kim Davis Money Shot?

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!

[Martin Eden]

13. She is absolutely basking in the attention ...

... but shouldn't it be against her religion to be photographed with a slime-sucking huckster?

[tblue37]

47. I am reminded somehow of how Paula Jones reveled in all the attention

from the media and from being surrounded by her RW handlers. And like Ann Coulter, who was a secret behind-the scenes advisor to Jones at first, Davis's handlers will ditch her and turn on her when it serves their purpose.

Coulter really did a job on Paula Jones, scuttling her generous settlement deal to make sure that it all came out and made a political mess for Clinton, and then later turned on her when, after her settlement deal was destroyed, Jones posed for Penthouse. Coulter even called Jones "trailer trash," after condemning CLinton supporters for slinging that ugly slur. This is from a Joe Conason piece on coulterwatch.com:

“Had she settled the case in September 97,” observes author Joe Conason, Jones “would have had three times
as much money, we never would have heard of Monica Lewinsky, and it probably would have been much
better for her and her family.” As it was, due to marital breakup, legal fees, back taxes, and a defense fund
fiasco, Jones thought the only way out of her family meltdown and financial chaos was to discreetly pose for
Penthouse.

Ironically, after abandoning Jones – without ever offering her any post-impeachment aid – Coulter
denounced her as “trailer park trash,” doing precisely what she had previously condemned Clinton
supporters for doing.

But conservative pundette Ann Coulter, one of the legal ‘‘elves’’ who assisted Jones, is pissed at
Jones. ‘‘I totally believed she was the good Christian girl she made herself out to be,’’ Coulter
says. ‘‘I was doing this for her, not just to expose Clinton ... (but) now it turns out she’s a fraud –
at least to the extent of pretending to be an honorable and moral person.’’

Here is Paula Jones's response to Coulter's attack on her:

“I haven’t been out doing anything and trying to make a lot of money. I haven’t been offered a
book deal like everybody else in this huge thing has done. Ann Coulter’s done books. I haven’t
seen her call me up and say: ‘Paula, would you like for me to help you write a book, a really nice,
decent?’ I haven’t had any help from anybody whatsoever.”

The whole piece is interesting and shows how truly vicious and exploitative Coulter is:

Kim Davis will be similarly dumped by her RW handlers when she no longer serves their purpose, and when that happens, the consequences of her actions will come down on her like a ton of bricks.

56. Where is she now? POLITICO: Paula Jones: Hillary Clinton unfit to be president By Nick Gass

http://www.politico.com/story/2015/05/paula-jones-hillary-clinton-unfit-president-118368

05/28/15

Paula Jones, the woman who sued President Bill Clinton for sexual harassment while he was governor of Arkansas, says Hillary Clinton is not fit to be president because of her husband’s past behavior.

“There is no way that she did not know what was going on, that women were being abused and accosted by her husband,” Jones said in an interview with Daily Mail Online. “They have both lied,” she said.

Jones, now 48, sued Clinton in 1994, alleging that he propositioned her in an Arkansas hotel room while he was governor. The lawsuit preceded revelations about the president’s affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky and his impeachment and later acquittal.

“She should not be running with the terrible history they have,” Jones said, warning that the former president should not be allowed back in the White House.

Jones said that both Clintons would do anything “to get to the top,” adding that it is “all about political status.”

“He does not have a right to be in the White House to serve the people the way he treated women, sexually harassing women,” she said.

Clinton had denied having sexual relations with Lewinsky in his deposition for the Jones lawsuit. Clinton denied Jones’ claims as well, though he paid $850,000 to her and her attorneys in an out-of-court settlement in November 1998. The lawsuit was dismissed pre-trial in a summary judgment after it was ruled that Jones did not prove damages.

[smirkymonkey]

48. I know. It's revolting, isn't it. She thinks she's the second coming or something.

This whole spectacle is just completely bizarre. It makes me physically ill.

[NBachers]

74. Yes- my stomach is actually upset and filled with an icky, dreadful feeling over all this.

[Fred Sanders]

51. Kim Davis and her crazytalk is not the kind of martyr the religious freaks may want to have....

[Martin Eden]

62. If Kim Davis is the face of Christianity in America ...

... then Christianity in America has some real problems.

[smirkymonkey]

69. I read a comment in the UK Guardian yesterday or today that said something

to the effect of "well, people like Kim Davis are pretty mainstream in the US." I was absolutely horrified. Is this what other countries really think? That we are all like this? I know it was just one commenter, but I get the impression that most foreigners think we are a bunch of right-wing, fundamentalist christian idiots. Then again, look at who we elect to office. Never mind.

[Martin Eden]

72. America is diverse, but RW fundie Christian idiots are all too common,

and they vote.

I thought that once GW Bush left office I wouldn't have to feel embarrassed and ashamed for my country, but a large segment of our society has gone even farther off the deep end of batguano crazyland.

[flygal]

81. I met three families in Germany having trouble finding exchange host families that weren't extreme

One family switched to Canada, one settled for a family that did go to church but didn't seem extreme. The other just dropped out of the program and spent a summer in England.

[enough]

14. Huckabee's personal thuggish behavior was very clear in the brief video of Kim's rally.

He was trying to physically dominate Kim and the other pastor on her other side, and mostly succeeding.

[riversedge]

16. Maddow is covering this right now

[riversedge]

19. man is red shirt is stopping Cruz from going where he wants to. cites nytimes

23. drats, the rally played Survivor -one of my all times

favorite tunes.

45. Survivor is pissed too....

[Rex]

79. They getting sued for using it!

Huckabee better start counting his pennies!

[Warren Stupidity]

17. "money shot" was originally the porn film industry term for the male orgasm visual.

Seeing any use of that phrase for other purposes is just weird. I now have this image of Kim Davis, Mike Fuckabee and Ted Cruz in a three way.

[localroger]

37. Used very deliberately

...in the sense that this was the whole point of the previous five minutes of in-out-in-out, which taken out of context is a lot more ridiculous than sexy. Several places labelled the video frame where the second airliner hit the WTC tower on film the "money shot" of 911 coverage. It's a derogatory term implying that there is no other meaning to be found in the whole enterprise.

[BlueStater]

38. Thanks for the appealing visual imagery.

I happened to be eating potato chips when I read your post.

[Rex]

80. Originally it was just a really expensive scene in a movie.

The Lord of the Rings and all that CGI goodness comes to mind. All you guys posting in here about porn and money shot - well we all now know what you do when you are 'surfing' the WWW.

[AtheistCrusader]

84. Feel free to find a reference to the term prior to 1972.

I'll let you work out the significance of the date.

[Rex]

87. "a crucial or climactic moment, especially of a movie"

No doubt climax has a different meaning in the porn industry.

[bluedigger]

21. You can't teach that sort of douchebaggery.

You have to be born to it.

24. pic of rally from nytimes...

Mike Huckabee (Not Ted Cruz) Captures Spotlight at Kim Davis Event

A very sad Ted Cruz, not on stage.

35. Awwwwww....

An older boy stole his lunch.

SO sad.

40. The Art of the Upstaging

Even when Trump's not there, he's there.

[niyad]

83. to whom, or what, is turd cruz pledging allegiance? certainly not the constitution, if he is

at a rally for that attention-seeking twit davis, who openly defies the law.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. And then Cruz and Huckleberry started beating on each other

with folding chairs.

You just can't make this stuff up.

[PatrickforO]

30. Wow! We're reverting back to the old Wiemar Republic days of the 1920s

where you had opposing political candidates and parties bashing each other in the streets. Look at what Trump's aid did to that other guy.

[smirkymonkey]

49. Yeah, and we all know what that led up to.

[Thor_MN]

34. Does Cruz have Koch backing? If so, that would be a Koch block.

I think at this point, the Kochs have to be a bit disappointed in Walker. I wonder when he will be summoned to the fully operational Death Star...

[TlalocW]

36. Not very Christian of Mike

I and a friend discussed this whole rally a couple of days ago and agreed that even more than caring about the issue, Mike was probably dancing around his house, air-guitaring to Cat Scratch Fever, overjoyed about the possibility of taking some media time away from Trump and breathing some life into his anemic campaign. This was Mike's ball - no other divas allowed on stage.

I'm surprised that Jindal didn't also try to crash it cuz I'm betting he's kicking himself for letting Huckabee grab this as he could have had a hat trick - fought against marriage equality as governor (backed down but still), defunded Planned Parenthood, and this. It would have really impressed those religious conservatives who aren't going to vote for him anyway because he's too dark.

TlalocW

[BlueStater]

39. They're both such vile douchebags.

Huckleberry is a loathsome fuck but I can't say I feel too bad that Rafael missed his chance for a revolting photo-op with a nutjob.

[Skittles]

42. both? all three of them

[dembotoz]

41. Pretty strong proof that event was to promote hucky and Kim was an accessory

Feet of clay??? Hell his whole being is phony

[kairos12]

43. Was he Koch blocked?

[PDittie]

77. Huck-blocked

[Warren DeMontague]

44. I'm surprised there wasn't a generous helping of Santorum involved.

52. Huck looks like he wants to be Husband #4 (or 5 depending on how one counts) here.

65. Saw it this morning

Cruz looked bad. He looked very weak and alone. He is going to be very angry now. Looks like the old Reagon rules are long forgotten in the rush toward fascism.
This horrible woman will have to go back to jail as soon as she refuses to do her on job and I hear thats on friday. These idiots are also protesting in front of the Judges house. He is a Federal
Judge. Not an ordinary garden variety judge. You do not mess with Federal judges. They are guarded by US Marshals. And you do not want to fuck with the US Marshals.
You can get all uppity with the park rangers, or this dept or that or the sheriffs or the local whatevers. But you dont mess with federal courts and federal court justices.
This is about to go very bad for Lori and whomever else cares to cross the line again.
Eventually , we will read the sad tale of her poverty as she lost her 80,000 dollar job and everyone abandoned her and she got sued and now she lives in a house trailer alone since her husband left her for another woman who has a job.
