Mike Huckabee's "Elvis moment": U.N. = ACORN
Former Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-Ark.), speaking to a very friendly dinner crowd at the “How To Take Back America” conference, said that he’d “nearly had an Elvis moment” watching this week’s United Nations general assembly sessions and spoke about pulling out of the world organization altogether.

“It’s time to get a jackhammer and to simply chip off that part of New York City,” said Huckabee, “and let it float into the East River, never to be seen again!” That remark got him a standing ovation, and Huckabee went on to suggest de-funding the U.N. entirely.

“It’s time to say enough of the American taxpayer’s dollar being spent on something that may have been a noble idea, but has become a disgrace!” said Huckabee. “It has become the international equivalent of ACORN and it’s time to say enough!”

Huckabee continued, suggesting that the U.N. be handed over to one of the nations that attacked America. “Let’s end the diplomatic excesses that these people enjoy,” he said. “Let any country that is willing to spend the money that the United States is hosting–let them have it. Give it to the Saudis and let these diplomats suck the sand out of the Saudi desert for a few summers and see if that’s where they’d like to go, and make their ridiculous speeches.”

The man has taken ACORN international. I'm sure this will confuse the hell out of the rest of the world. Doing away with the UN because of a seed.

4. Making stuff up and throwing it against the wall to see if anyone salutes it.
Obvious base pandering. Makes him look like a fool to the rest of us.

...you think nothing of doing something crazy (like, say, flying up to D.C. on the spur of the moment and demanding to see the President right now, offering your services as a "fighter against drugs," while still stoned to the gills)?
