How is weight loss his "signature issue?"

I don't remember him saying much about it during the campaign.

Resume items aren't "issues."

Hello Mrs. Plutarch. It would be amazing if what you and your husband posted was the gospel truth :)

3. The Democrats and media will find victims. Obese Arkansans will be interviewed, who felt humiliated for remaining fat after the Governor falsely claimed that his weight loss proved “anyone can”.

The Gov. is going to have to hide at least one of his sons, David, who is one very large 26 year old, who obviously has rejected Mikes "book". Now, if after awhile David resurfaces looking 100 pds thinner, I'd have to suspect a medical procedure was involved.

I find it amusing Mike preaches to the great unwashed about weight loss, when he needs to take care of his own family...first.

When people lose a dramatic amount of weight when they are in their thirties, they look younger, when an old person loses that much weight, he skin sags and he looks older. Haven’t you ever seen that make over show on tv, where they cut away the excess skin after the subject has lost a lot of weight?

Thank you Spectre for the interesting information about Huckabee’s son.

Huckabee can disprove Plutarch’s compelling evidence by having a simple barium swallow test which would produce an xray showing an unmolested upper intestinal tract. My guess is that he and his campaign will ignore the challenge and hope the the issue will go away over time. Reporters should doggedly ask him to submit to the test, until he agrees or comes clean.

Why? I think Rudy G. or Mike H. as prez would be horrific for the USA. How is having a wolf in sheep’s clothes better than having a wolf in wolf’s clothes? It’s probably WORSE.

Allow me to reiterate: I commend you for your thorough and thoughtful work.

As I went through my workday, I reflected on your suggestion that Huckabee might have had gastric bypass which he has denied.

Never mind the primaries rigmarole, if Huck wrote a book on weight loss focusing on diet and exercise but somehow neglecting to mention that he had his stomach stapled in addition to the diet and exercise regimen, that book is FRAUDULENT.

Mike Huckabee totally makes my skin crawl. He gives me the creeps BIG TIME. So, if he actually has had surgical intervention to take off all that weight, that’s totally consistent with the lowlife used car salesman swindler my gut’s telling me he is.

Plutarch, thanks again for your insight into this small time corrupt politico who’s trying to make the big time at the expense of conservative America.

That is not only by far and away the best vanity post I have ever seen, it’s probably the best article I have seen anywhere in months. It shouldn’t even be called a vanity post, it should be in a major publication.

It’s much better researched then anything I have seen recently in Time or Newsweek. Extremely well written too.

Great job.

Great collection of articles. Throw in the crap about his smoke nazi crusade to make smokers criminals and kick them out of bars and restaurants by force of law.

did you see Huck's new book?

Translated it means "stop digging your grave with illegal aliens and drivers licenses."

Thanks for the ping.

Thanks again for your voice of reason. Glad you quoted the Drudge stuff. I am SO frustrated that conservatives could be so GULLIBLE as to fall for Huck’s dog and pony show.

"If Huckabee lied about his weight loss, then he is no better than Clinton lying about having sex with that woman."

Unless he tried to get people to perjure themselves about him getting bariatric surgery, I'd say Clinton is a tad worse.

Hmmmm, you know Eric, Huckabee might have taken up smoking. That would make him thinner.

You’re right, you’re right. I believe military tactical doctrine is to charge an ambush. This isn’t exactly the same, but it’s pretty close. The military would move in and try to take the initiative away from the shooter. So you’re right.
