He holds a BS in TV and Communication, a BS in Biblical Studies - and a whole lot of plain ordinary unadulterated BS....

Rep. King questions Huckabee move; Thompson said he had ‘a nice laugh’ By Sam Youngman | Posted: 12/31/07 6:27 PM [ET] December 31, 2007
URBANDALE, Iowa – Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), who is supporting former Sen. Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.), questioned former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee’s motives in showing a negative ad to reporters after telling them that he would not put it on the air.
King suggested to The Hill that Huckabee’s plan was to get a lot of play for the ad without having to pay for it.
“Doesn’t he have any money?” King said, laughing. “That’s what I’d have to do if I didn’t have any money.”
Huckabee drew laughter from a room full of reporters when he told them that he was going to show the ad he had just said he wasn’t going to run.
The former governor said the ad cost $30,000 to make. It was a spothighly critical of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s (R) record as governor.
King joined Thompson Monday afternoon at his campaign headquarters here, where the former senator stopped by to thank volunteers and supporters who were burning up the phone lines trying to reach undecided voters.
Thompson was asked about Huckabee’s unusual move, and he responded that he had been told about it on his campaign bus but that he knew little about it.
“We all had a nice laugh,” Thompson said. “He’s on his own. I can’t help him.”
He added: “You’re going to have to decipher that one for me later.”
The Huckabee press conference turned out to be the big news event on a very cold New Year’s Eve just three days out from the caucuses.

So he calls a press conference to show reporters what he would have shown them if he was the kind of person who did that stuff?
Does he think we are idiots?
No, I think he was listening to his campaign stuff who is itching to expose Mitt the flip flopper very badly on the air-waves, but changed his mind at the last second. From what I heard, Rollins was shocked he pulled the ads.
That second statement doesn't make sense unless you match it up with his 2nd place comment yesterday. Must have promising internal polling.
that’s what I’m hearing too
It ended when they found out what he said about homosexuals and AIDS.

BTW - If I paid someone $30K for a 30' commercial, I'd expect them to notice any crosses...
-—Does he think we are idiots?-—
“Now, listen to me, you hicks.”

The Huckster is a nasty man, hiding behind a fake “good Christian” facade. He wants it both ways, but all he’s doing is proving what a fraud and charlatan his and his ministry is.
I think Fred’s response is great, but I gotta hand it to Huckabee as well for being as creative as he is. Huckabee is again the story.
-— From what I heard, Rollins was shocked he pulled the ads.-—
I imagine! He wasted a very valuable afternoon making a negative attack ad and now doesn’t want to use it!
Do we need a preview of a Huckabee Presidency?
Unfortunately most politician think we are idiots, and by in large they are not far off the mark. (talking about the population at large)
This tactical response by Thompson is important. This provides some visibility into the internal polling. Huckabee is desperate because he must be seeing Romney pulling away. Of course Thompson is desperate for money because he’s in a bus, but his numbers may show Huckabee falling to within reach for 2nd (assuming McCain doesn’t overtake) — which is about the only way for Thompson to fund past Michigan.
We’ll see.
Of course Thompson is desperate for money because he’s in a bus,...
I mean, it's not a freakin' volkswagon. It's a million dollar coach.
Yes, Owen. Tell us what you know about Thompson’s campaign funds, because this is at least the 2nd time today I’ve seen you (I believe) mention Thompson’s lack of campaign funds. If you don’t know anything factual about his funds, quit acting like you do.
