Huckabee: Palin E-mails Revealed A “Perfectly-Competent Chief Executive”
US Election News ^ | June 14, 2011 | Jillian Curtin

Posted on 06/14/2011 5:08:28 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Former Arkansas Governor and former Presidential contender Mike Huckabee sent an email to supporters of his HuckPAC blasting the left and the media for their overeagerness in digging through the thousands of emails from Sarah Palin’s Governorship released recently. Huckabee practically praises them for their ability to distinguish Palin as above the clamor as she could be while fighting off attacks about her family.

Using an excerpt from The Huckabee Report included in the emails, Huckabee says;

"You almost have to feel sorry for all the reporters and leftwing bloggers who spent the weekend slogging through 24,000 pages of Sarah Palin’s old emails from her years as Alaska governor. They thought they were going on the ultimate Alaskan safari, hunting for anything remotely scandalous or uninformed or even ungrammatical that they could attack Gov. Palin with. But to their shock and grief, their partisan animosity backfiired. So far, aside from some justifiable anger about unfair attacks on her family, they’ve found nothing but thousands and thousands of dry government emails, to and from a perfectly-competent chief executive. You know, I used to be a governor. I know how deadly dull those emails must be to anyone who wasn’t involved in the business they concerned. That’s why I almost feel sorry for the people who volunteered to read them. Or I would, if it didn’t serve ‘em right for trying so hard to play “gotcha.”

"Oh, they did discover some emails that were ridiculous, loopy and downright insane. Problem is, those came from their own side. Some people were actually so discombobulated by Gov. Palin’s nomination as Vice President, they emailed her rants that included death threats. I hope those were investigated with even half the fervor that was put into examining Sarah Palin’s spelling."

Sarah Palin will be the strongest candidate for exactly this reason. Whoever is the Pub candidate will face a media jihad once they have locked up the nomination. With Sarah they have already looked under every stone and found...nothing. What else can they do to her?

Make up a story about a pubic hair on a pepsi can.

Dunno but there's one incontrovertible fact...Huck despises Mitt Romney. Huck also went after Tim Pawlenty's campaign staff today.

Interesting grist for the mill.

“man is he sacred of Sarah Palin”

Hmmm. Most interesting commentary from Huckabee. Smarter than a certain sock puppet and campaign manager - ventriloquist.

If Governor Palin should decide to run, she does have this advantage.

Sarah Palin, is the only candidate who has been thoroughly vetted with absolutely no stones left unturned in her public or private life, no matter how personal. This exhaustive vetting has been done relentlessly and without stint over a three year period by, Washington Post, New York Times, Los Angles Times, Time Magazine, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun Times, Newsweek, Huffington Post, USA Today, Boston Globe, Politico, Miami Herald, Atlanta Journal Constitution, Boston Herald, ABC, CBS, CNN, HLN, NBC, MSNBC, PBS, NPR, Fox, also, by many other newspapers, magazines, and TV outlets, too numerous to list.

Barack Obama, is the only candidate who has been thoroughly vetted by, “NONE OF THE ABOVE,” not even remotely.

Interesting. How does this play out in Iowa since MB (did you know MB backwards is BM?) tried to buy Iowa by way of the Rollins hire?

She may have just pi##ed away a bunch of money while executing her first executive decision.

The DU’er types are RABID and incoherent in their hatred of Sarah Palin and her family. They seem to think it makes them look intelligent to hate the Palins. It’s pitiful and ignorant.

If Huck were to endorse Palin, I suspect Iowa is a slam dunk. Palin may win anyway, assuming she gets in. As an unannounced candidate, she’s a solid 2nd to Romney in the most recent Iowa poll I’ve seen.

Would be funny as heck if it plays out this way. MB thought she could buy Iowa with Rollins. Her first real decision as a presidential candidate could ultimately cause irreparable damage to her political career.

I can’t help but think MB will self-destruct before it is over.
Does anyone but be find it odd that nobody is questioning her credentials? I remember them harping on the fact that Mike Pence [and others] was just a Congressman and had no chance unless he went back to Indiana as Governor first. Mike Pence was a good guy and a very solid conservative...maybe that’s why they shooed him away.
