Two weeks before Sarah Palin's memoir hits bookstores next month, possible 2012 presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee is publishing a new volume of his own: A Simple Christmas: Twelve Stories That Celebrate the True Holiday Spirit. Huckabee's already taking presale orders—and orders for leather display boxes and for signed, numbered versions of the book that include certificates of authenticity.

The Huckster is going to be a contender, I’m afraid.

That reminds me that Christmas is coming soon.

I better buy some more copies of Sarah's book.

I wonder if there will be a story about the family gathered around the popcorn popper anxiously awaiting their Christmas squirrel.

As big government as RINOs come, unfortunately. Somewhat socially conservative.

We have soooo many twits in office or aspiring thereto.

No wonder the founders wanted a LIMITED government.

The only real difference between Huckster and Barry is that I believe the Huckster would actually put conservative judges on the Federal bench, to include the Supreme Court. Beyond that, they’re indistinguishable.

Story number eight from his book talks about the warm Christmases illegals can now have in Little Rock because he let the Mexican Consulate be built on hugely subsidized land, including furniture, for only a $1 a year.

Huck is a freaking nut.

No freaking way. This bag of dust will not hold up under examination. He's as phony as a 3 dollar bill.

"The Huckster selling more snake oil.

He's not a phony; but Romney is. Romney is the quentisential suede shoe vacuum salesman. At least Huck is a Christian, and 1000 times better than the current fake Prez we have now. Personally, I surely hope Bobby Jindal or Sarah run in 2012, but if not, I'll look closely at Huck.

For God’s sake, and our country’s sake, boycott this RINO’s book. Simply buy a second Palin or Beck book and gift it to a homeless shelter, public library or a local government school. Please don’t support this clown.

He might make a great minister in chief. He could replace Billy Graham.

Not a president.

Huckabee doesn't care if his book sells or not. The whole of writing the Xmas book is go on a book tour and promote his potential 2012 candidacy to churches.

Say what you what about Huckabee, but the guy is media savvy. He effectively used the media to defeat Romney in Iowa on a shoe string budget.

You’re right. The Huckster is a genius at hype in this modern age, and I think such genius has probably adapted to whatever the age it’s found itself in.

And CDs of Bob Dylan’s Christmas in the Heart will be a nice companion piece.

They need to add an extra certificate to attest to the authenticity of the Certificate of Authenticity.

I wonder if the Brothers Grimm were savvy enough to try to cash in like this.
