Huckabee Takes Swipe At Sarah Palin

The Huckster took a swipe at Sarah Palin and he did it with a smile. He does everything with a smile, being far from the first snake I've seen that has himself one of those. At least she isn't a Mormon. He might cut her a little bit of slack. Why am I thinking Huck has now read every Palin column Andy Sullivan has ever written?

The Hucky puck doesn't like it that he's being overshadowed by both Palin and Romney, who comes up in the interview, as well. Is Huck's real problem that Sarah may have blown him off as far as appearing on his show? Or is he laying the ground work for 2010? My guess is, it's a little bit of both. The dude should shave his legs and see how he looks in a skirt. Maybe he can compete, maybe not. But it's fairly clear that whatever bit of rock star rep Huck had because he plays the bass is destined to be overshadowed by Sarah Palin no matter what he does.

I doubt any swipes he takes at Palin are going to win him many new fans. And that's just fine and dandy as far as I'm concerned.

“Some of the people who had excoriated me and really been very dismissive of me for views that I had taken, and labeled me anything from a populist to an ignoramus — the same people have been very defensive [of] and laudatory to Sarah Palin,” Huckabee noted, adding that he’d invited her to appear on his weekly Fox show but “could never get any contact.”

“I’m glad she’s getting the props — I know I’m not nearly as attractive,” he said with a guileless grin.

Huckabee is unceasingly pleasant and mild, even in relating his grievances. The same sense of humor is there, too. But so are an obvious frustration and a barely concealed bitterness, as well as the underlying question of whether Huckabee really wants to go through with this again or, instead, succumb fully to the showbiz side that he began polishing as a teenage disc jockey in Hope, Ark.

Keep hope alive, dope. But don't let your Fox contract expire. You might find yourself having problems winning the next job you might desire.

Huckabee is a smarmy snake. Be on your guard around him. I cannot trust him.

If Sarah became a Catholic, she would immediately lose a sizable portion of her support.

Who would she lose? And I'm not suggesting she be just any ol' [Kennedy] Catholic ... I'm suggesting it would nice if she became a "powerful" Catholic ... like Mother Teresa ...

Huckabee is no conservative. He just plays one on television. Here are just a few facts about Mike. There are plenty more if he ever tries to run for anything again.

The president Logan character from 24 and Huckabee are one in the same.

I'm not saying Evangelicals would not support a Catholic, but many would have trouble supporting an Evangelical who converted to Catholicism.

Well, that’s some plan you have. Do you work in the main stream media?

The Happy Huckabee Family

MAN... I first saw that pic back during the 2008 primaries. I have never been able to get that picture out of my mind...

Palin narrowly won a Bill O’Reilly poll Monday night for the Rep nominee for POTUS. Huck 2, Romney 3, and I think Newt 4 out of four possibilities.

Anyone else catch that? After book tour Palin’s numbers are going up. She had a very excellent reply on Facebook to Pelosi’s midnight House vote on socialized medicine.

Um, Mike, we don’t care. Try as you might, we still don’t notice you.

Mark your calender. On Nov 16th, Sarah will be on Oprah. On Nov 18th, Sarah will be on Hannity. In the following weeks after that, she will be on Bill O’Reilly and Barbara Walters. Let’s see how she does.

Sarah has to publicly make the case for herself. People want to see a candidate in the flesh and not hide out in Facebook.

No, but he can screw up the Republican nominee in ‘12.

Maybe. He sure screwed up Romney in 2008 and made sure we were saddled with McCain. Thankfully, good came out of that when McCain chose Palin as VP, but I'll never forget what a snake Huckabee was in the West Virginia primary, or, more recently, what a coward he showed himself to be in the NY 23 race by refusing to endorse Hoffman.

Quite frankly I am a fan of Tiger Woods and Sarah Palin. Both are good looking individuals but I couldn’t care less. Their appearance is not what attracts them to me. It’s all about talent and execution.

Huckabee, shame on you for trivializing Sarah for being a female by referring to her appearance.

Tiger’s a nice chap but I like my local golfer, Phil Mickelson.

One of the nice things about Sarah Palin, there are pics of her family not only on the campaign trail last year but in everyday doing when any folks do.

Then you have the one frozen Huck Family shot
I guess Huck still doesn’t want some to remember his one son was kicked out of the boy scouts for killing a dog.
