So this is where all the nonsense about Fred being a stalking horse for McCain has come from!
Dirty politicking by the Huckster camp continues!

SEAN HANNITY:...
Joining us now is Fred Thompson’s campaign adviser, Mary Matalin. Mary, always good to see you.
MARY MATALIN, THOMPSON CAMPAIGN ADVISER: Hey Sean.
...
HANNITY:.....Why does he seem only willing to attack or go after or challenge Mike Huckabee but not Senator McCain? Senator McCain is leading there?
MATALIN: No, of course, he’s been challenging — I wouldn’t call it attacking. He’s been challenging each of these candidates on their issues. And specifically relative to McCain, he said he disagreed with his immigration issue. Let me say this, Fred Thompson would not have gotten in the race if John McCain was scratching the conservative itch. You listed all the things that John has not been conservative on. I would add to that, it was a tipping point for a lot of conservatives, he’s now jumped on the pseudo-religious global warming bandwagon. That’s just madness.
But they are friends, and if they thought John would have been able to carry the banner that could unite the party to beat the liberals in the fall, he wouldn’t have jumped in the first place. “
MATALIN:.... “We all love John McCain. We just don’t think he’s the kind of conservative that can unite the party. “
“Dirty politicking by the Huckster camp continues!”
More proof that - as bad as McCain is - Huckabee would be worse.
Huckabee’s team.... I’m gaining more and more disrespect for this man and his team. Definitely not Presidential.
They outted themselves.
