That’s a Tobias. It’s made by Gibson. Comes out of their custom shop up in Nashville. Although now the Tobiases are made in Conway, Arkansas. Because the CEO of Gibson, Henry Juszkiewicz… I was up there touring, got the guitar, had a visit with him. I said, “Henry, how come these guitars are being made in Nashville”–’cause they were trying to expand their line–I said, “There’s only one governor in America who plays your product. Why don’t you bring your factories to Conway?” So they moved the manufacturing to Conway.

Bass guitar?

Can we start with the bass player jokes now?

What’s the difference between a bass player and a large pizza? – The pizza can feed a family of four.

How do you get a bass player to stop playing? – Put sheet music in front of him.

In all fairness to the Huckster, he does look pretty cool in that screencap – for a Praise and Worship Team member. If I was at that service I’d raise my lighter.

Chris Squire was equal to The Ox.

I’m more a Squire fan than of the Ox, but … I have absolutely no problem acknowledging that they were equal. In fact, the Ox was a big influence on “Fishie”. And The Who were quite awesome in their own right.

I bet Chris Squire’s not for open borders and giving American citizen’s money to illegals for freebies.

I would not be surprised if he has no opinion on this. He’s British.

And yes (if you’ll forgive the pun), Huckabee is neither Squire, nor Entwistle, nor Lemme, nor even McCartney.

Chris Squire was equal to The Ox.

A great stringmeister.

Saw both in concert and cherish the experience.

Charlie Mingus, I wish I had seen in the 1960′s, at his peak.

Or Jack Cassidy, with the Airplane.

Or McCartney, circa Rubber Soul.

Huckabee, feh.

I think the Dems will lose to a Rudy-Hunter or Romney-McCain ticket.

The HillObamaWard has yet to be hit hard.

Yeah, he’d be tarred as an ugly warmongering racist who has a crazy wife and uses too many big words. Also, modern “conservatives” would call him a big government type who just wants to increase the power of the federal government. He’d be attacked from all sides.

His [Lincoln] religion, or lack of same, would also be attacked, particularly by the High Reverend Huckster.

But that’s a back-up position in the band.

Don’t tell Lemmy, either.

Not necessarily fixin’ it for ya … just putting in my own version ;) thirteen28 on December 3, 2007 at 7:52 PM

Your fellow “Yes” fanatics agree whole heartedly.

I bet Chris Squire’s not for open borders and giving American citizen’s money to illegals for freebies.

We need a real conservative people. Not Bush III.

I knew John Entwistle Chris Squire.
John Entwistle Chris Squire was a friend of mine.
Mr. Huckabee, you’re no John Entwistle Chris Squire.

It means the Republican Party loses a whole lot of folks including people like me who didn’t become pro life because of my politics I became political because of my pro life convictions.

Huckabee won’t back the Republican candidate if it’s not him? Sounds like it will be Pres. Hil because of him, not because of Rudy. Strange way to run for Republican nomination, or for VP.

Right now the Republican’s could nominate Abraham Lincoln and it would be President Clinton in the WH.

Unfortunately, for Huckabee their is a lot more to the Republican party then abortion alone. And quite honestly, abortion, though it is important, is far less pressing of an issue right now then some others (illegal immigration, Islamic Jihad, taxes, healthcare, war, getting the government out of our personal lives, etc).

I will not vote for this Jimmy Carter replica for President.

4 Hucksters
2 Hilebeasts
2 Romnoyds
1 Rudinator
Assorted lunatics

Depressing. Is conservatism dead in America?

I won’t be happy if I have to vote for either one of them.

With any luck Shrillary will self destruct (or better yet, be indicted) before the nomination. But that still leaves any number of socialists and assorted morons running on the Dem side.

Huckabee says a Giuliani nomination means “President Hillary Rodham Clinton”

And Giuliani (or his supporters anyway) says a Huckabee anybody but Rudy nomination means “President Hillary Rodham Clinton”

How did we come to this?

Rudoufo = Milkshake with 1 scoop of $hit.

Huckster = Milkshake with 2 scoops of $hit.

HildaBeast = Milkshake with 3 scoops of $hit.

Scary thought. Well its obvious at this point also if you listened to Rush last week that he clearly thinks Fred is the most conservative and if you looked at Laura’s polls that Fred won the “border” issue and the most able to beat Hill” question.

So.. for me.. (even though I made up my mind last winter).. thats that.
