Agreed. I'm surprised he comes out with this stuff when his only real chance at nomination is to fill the hard, tough-talking conservative void left by the big guys, Romney, Giuliani and McCain. You can't get those votes if you're going on television proclaiming that Bill Clinton "embodies the American dream."
I didnt see Huckabee's whole appearance on the Daily Show recently but I got the impression he was trying to make nice with Jon Stewart. That is NOT what we need in a nominee or a leader. In the few moments I saw the show, I didn't hear Huckabee offer one word of defense of GWB when Stewart was saying he was dumb, etc.
