Gawd. Anyone watching Huckabee speak?
All the biblical rhetoric. Declaring it's again a three-man race.

1. Then he said it was a two man race and He is in it.
Good rhetoric for a knuckledragger.

2. he's a good speaker
Anyway, he said, "some people say it's a two-man race. it is - and we're in it!"

I think Huckabee lives to anger Romney. He seems to go out of his way to drive Mittens nuts.

33. He is. If he just had thicker, fuller hair, he could get elected President.

39. Did you see his response to Romney?
Romney complained about Huckabee staying in the race & the official Huckabee campaign response was: "Stop whining!"

16. Widow's mite.
In the bible, Jesus told his followers that even the widow's penny was important and valuable to him...that if she gave a penny and that's all she could give, it was as much as a rich man giving his wealth.

At least, that's what I remember from Sunday School.

26. He reminds me of Andy Griffith in "A Face in the Crowd."
Edited on Tue Feb-05-08 10:29 PM by Radio_Lady
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Face_in_the_Crowd

The movie was set in Arkansas...

Smooth, smart, and sharp -- a snake oil salesman.

Sorry, Huckie, I don't like what you are saying about schools and the personhood of... fetuses.

I didn't like your kind in the past, and I don't like your kind now.

36. Good call. Also Broderick Crawford in "All the King's Men"
Huckabee is a classic American snake oil salesman, politically speaking. Preaches hate with a smiley face.

43. Have we ever had a pastor as a President?
Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 08:44 AM by Radio_Lady
My history lessons were so long ago. Maybe Doris Kearns Goodwin can answer that one! Doris is the presidential biographer who appears frequently on TV, and writes some amazing books. Wonder if she still lives in the next town, Concord, MA, from where we lived for 30 years in Sudbury, MA.

She's a hot ticket! I must have interviewed her along the way somewhere. Or seen her so much during presidential elections.

37. Why do I hear an off-tune and "unplugged" version of John Denver's tune ...
"Thank Gawd I'm a Country Boy" in the background.

Now I was raised on the Plains of South Dakota and helped my cousins "clean stalls" for my Uncle's Sale Barn, but Huckabee is ... well, the kind of "country" that is just mental-midget *disturbing.* :crazy:
