Will TV viewers heart this Huckabee?

Former Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee -- who already hosts a weekly Fox News show -- is getting a six-week tryout for a daily gig.

“The Huckabee Show” will start July 26 at noon. According to his political action committee’s website, the program -- which will be taped in New York on certain Fox stations -- will tackle the "tough political issues of the day."

“His common-sense conservative message resonates with Americans, and now, new audiences and new fans will begin to realize what makes Gov. Huckabee so popular,” said the committee’s executive director, Hogan Gidley.

Oh, so now HE is a common sense conservative. Funny how now all these guys are. Wasn’t common sense to let killers out of jail, was it?

LEST WE FORGET!!

“Phyllis Schlafly, president of the national Eagle Forum, is even more blunt. “He destroyed the conservative movement in Arkansas, and left the Republican Party a shambles,” she says. “Yet some of the same evangelicals who sold us on George W. Bush as a ‘compassionate conservative’ are now trying to sell us on Mike Huckabee.”

Does anyone have the Huckabee Amnesty song parody, to the tune of the Beatles’ “Yesterday?”

I think he found his niche.

Kind of like Oprah, a down home feel your pain kind of guy who has battled a weight problem all his life just as the retiring Queen of day time TV.

The vice-presidents at Fox are geniuses, the Queen is dead, long live King Huckster.

Boring! The light of the day on FNC is Megyn Kelly at 1 pm EST and then Cavuto at 3pm. I never could sit through an whole hour of boring Huck. The other programs are not that great either.

Nine years ago, then-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee granted clemency to Clemmons, commuting his lengthy prison sentence over the protests of prosecutors.

Clemmons’ criminal history includes at least five felony convictions in Arkansas and at least eight felony charges in Washington. The record also stands out for the number of times he has been released from custody despite questions about the danger he posed
Huckabee laughed at the thought he would be a danger.

Last year, he killed 4 Police officers in Seattle area

After watching him on Fox weekends, I think that he has definitively demonstrated his shallowness, his lack of discretion and his lack of conservatism.

Someone refresh my memory please. If G W Bush had not won the GOP nomination who would have? I can’t even remember who else was running besides McCain.

Jorge Bush gave the Mexican government the locations of the Minutemen on the Arizona/Mexico Border during our border watch.

He put the lives of Law Abiding American citizens in danger.

PLEASE don’t talk to me about George Bush being a Conservative!

Ummm....this time in the election cycle...1998. BobDole was leader, Quayle was second, I think.

When Pubbies run “whoever’s next,” we get the crap beaten out of us. BobDole was “whoever’s next” in 1996. Bush got the nod in 2000 because he wasn’t any of the others. We ran “whoever’s next” in 2008 and we got Zero. If we nominate “whoever’s next” in 2012, we’ll lose again.

Huckabee has a good show on weekends. Pleasant, intelligent, polite. I enjoy it.

In my opinion, he’s found his niche.

Let me see ——— A news item, followed by some music. And then an interview with a celebrity and more music. A bit more weekly magazine stuff and ending with a news item -— and more music.

Huckaby is doing a great job with daily news and commentary on radio. He is the closest anyone has come to the timing and wit of Paul Harvey.
