SCREW THAT!!!
Is this guy one of the biggest manipulator’s you have ever seen?
He is as calculating as Hillary/Bill & he has obviously learned a few things by watching and knowing them…don’t be fooled by these Arkansans

Brody spoofs Huckabee’s ad
heh

Nice kneepads!

I’m sure that Rush does love Huck just as much as Huck loves him, what he does not love is the notion of the Huckster as POTUS.

Beware of the false teachers–men who come to you in sheep’s fleeces, but beneath that disguise they are ravenous wolves.

Sure! Rush loves you Huck. He loves the fact that you will never win…
This guy is unbelievably bad!!!
I think they need to investigate the poll takers: :) :)

Pucker up, Huck.

Larry Kudlow was pretty rough on Huck in an interview he did with Hugh Hewitt the other day:
[W]hen I had Governor Huckabee on, what was it, last week or the week before, I had a bout with him. I went at it. He wants to, if need be, have government regulate salaries. I think he’s crazy. I don’t think he understands the free market business system. He’s not good on taxing, he’s not good on spending, he’s not good on free trade. In other words, all the prosperity factors seem to be Mr. Huckabee’s weakness. I don’t think he understands it. He’s just out of tune with all measures of free market, supply side economics. You know, it isn’t his religion, and I admire his religion. I personally am a man of faith. I regard myself as an Evangelical, the fact is. But it’s not his religion, it’s his positions. Condi Rice came out of the State Department. Hell, I haven’t seen her in about a month or two. She came out and attacked him because of his navet on dealing in international affairs with Iran and others. He doesn’t seem to understand power politics, and that we are in a jihadist global war.

Jeez…
anybody notice this is SOOOO like his answer to the NIE?
He just said “daaaaaaahhh I dunno!!!!”
when asked why he thought Rush attacked him.
Oddly reminicant of hillary’s “I cant recall.” answers during her many hearings.

peski on December 22, 2007 at 10:49 PM
Is this the cherry on top? News coming out about shady fundraising.
Most noteworthy, $35,000 came from Novo Nordisk, one of the world’s largest embryonic stem cell researchers. It seems that when money is at stake Huckabee may be able to look past his supposedly fervent opposition to this procedure
Jay on December 22, 2007 at 10:49 PM
Jay, you link to a site that links to a blog that claims to have documents that “prove” something. Never heard of the blog and don’t know what those documents are, nor what they show or don’t show. But I guess if it really is true, we should see it in the MSM soon. If not, we probably won’t.

When we have men of the calaber of McCain and Thompson running, if we elect Huck, we deserve to lose.
bnelson44 on December 22, 2007 at 11:28 PM
With this feud between Rush and Huckabee,I can’t
help but wonder how big Al Franken’s smirk is!
canopfor on December 22, 2007 at 11:40 PM
Too bad Rush is on vacation this week…
krabbas on December 22, 2007 at 11:42 PM
I found this the other week on Huckabee and Novo Nordisk. This may be the story.
The embedded links in the quote are from the Arkansas Blog. The first link to the Hispanic PR Wire announcing the book and the second is to Salon, which states:
I don’t have Salon premium to link to the pages. However, I assume the report is available somewhere.
INC on December 22, 2007 at 11:54 PM
I was on another Salon page and went back to the above. Here is the link to the document. I don’t know if it will work or if you will get a Salon ad.
INC on December 22, 2007 at 11:59 PM
I’ll THIRD that motion!
Go Fred!
tickleddragon on December 23, 2007 at 12:01 AM
Well he don’t Huck,
You pissed your bed, now you gotta lie in it.
Sweet dreams a$$hole!
conservnut on December 23, 2007 at 12:02 AM
Sorry, I’m giving it to you backwards. That was page 6. Here is page 5 and here is page 6 of the document.
INC on December 23, 2007 at 12:02 AM
Gag me. I don’t believe it for a minute any more than I believe anything coming out of that “pious” mouth of Jimmy Carter.
katieanne on December 23, 2007 at 12:04 AM
Yes, the two 17,500 fees are there and they are dated 2007 not 2006 so it would have been after he as governor. As I suspected, this was a non-story, story.
Huck has enough against him without making things up so thank you for the reference.
bnelson44 on December 23, 2007 at 12:05 AM
bnelson44, You’re welcome for the reference. However, I don’t think the point of the Stop the ACLU story was any financial problem with the money, but calling into question Huckabee’s record of objecting to embryonic stem cell research while taking money from Novo Nordisk.
INC on December 23, 2007 at 12:11 AM
Schmuckabee: Jackass of the first order.
Too late dumbass. REAP THE WHIRLWIND!!
thareb on December 23, 2007 at 12:19 AM
“If this model is accurate, it is saying that the US will officially be in recession right around the time Americans go to the polls next November.”
And if not, the Dems will make sure Americans believe we’re in one.
Connie on December 23, 2007 at 12:22 AM
Glen Reynolds has it up and the Boston Globe does as well. Apparently some Huck supporters were claiming that Novo Nordisk just did diabetes research, but that is challenged by folks saying they are using embryonic stem cells for that research. Goes head on against his base.
a capella on December 23, 2007 at 12:23 AM
Quick search
Too late tonight for me to do much research.
Connie on December 23, 2007 at 12:27 AM
a capella,
Heh. Reynolds goes to Caucus Cooler and the Boston Globe, but those are still secondary documents. My links are to primary docs.
Connie, thanks for the start. Here’s Novo Nordisk on ESC research:
INC on December 23, 2007 at 12:34 AM
Will catch up in the a.m. Oh, it is the a.m. Well, you know what I mean.
Connie on December 23, 2007 at 12:40 AM
Thanks. That quote is a giant killer. I don’t see how he can recover from that.
a capella on December 23, 2007 at 12:41 AM
Thanks. Definately something for someone to look into and flush out.
bnelson44 on December 23, 2007 at 12:47 AM
When a child apologizes for taking a cookie, they aren’t apologizing because they stole, and deceived, they are apologizing because they were caught and are trying to appease the punisher.
Politicians are far from the innocense of a child taking a cookie. He got caught calling Rush out and Rush hit back. Now he’s asking for a truce, surrendering before Rush actually loads up and unloads on him. I am a firm believer in unconditional surrender. Rush needs to put him in his place, take no prisoners, no capitulation.
Rode Werk on December 23, 2007 at 12:53 AM
Well, tonight on Fox, Ann Coulter endorsed the Huckaboom.
broker1 on December 23, 2007 at 1:02 AM
Kneepads, backpedals, pant-wetters and ars-kissers are indignant.
Entelechy on December 23, 2007 at 1:19 AM
Ah yes, the vital Coulter endorsement. Is it supposed to help or hurt him you think?
P. James Moriarty on December 23, 2007 at 1:26 AM
I think you can find a “Quote of the day” in this interview John Stossel did with the Paultard:
Ron Paul on War
the guy is either the most naive of human nature, ignorant of basic history OR is a lying scumbag with ulterior anti-american motives.
Stossel shouldn’t have stopped with WW2. SHould’ve asked:
Was Thomas Jefferson wrong to lobby for War with the Barbary Pirates and their City-State sponsors for more than 15 years before doing so as President, without a ‘declaration of war’? Was Jefferson wrong to say ‘they attack us’, because of it being in the “laws of their prophet’.
jp on December 23, 2007 at 1:33 AM
LOL! Right after she says “Mike Huckabee is the Republican Jimmy Carter” she endorses him.
Nice fantasy.
Here’s an even better one: A heavenly choir of all the Cherubim and Seraphim singing the praises of Huckabee, the Archangels chanting “Huck-a-bee, Huck-a-bee” while banging their swords in time against their breastplates, the curia of all the saints in heaven stomping their feet on the bleachers shouting “Huck-a-bee, Huck-a-bee”, and in the midst the tumult, God himself rises from his throne and glances down with affection at Mike Huckabee, whereupon all the people of America proclaim, with one unanimous and desperate voice “President Huckabee”! Yeah, that would be cool.
jaime on December 23, 2007 at 1:46 AM
From your link JP. NO matter what you think of Paul, that’s a funny answer right thee.
Spirit of 1776 on December 23, 2007 at 1:51 AM
Don’t you people ever sleep? Wait, what the hell am I doing up? Anyway,
Very expansive and flowery. I could hear the choir. Well done.
iurockhead on December 23, 2007 at 2:03 AM
I
hatereally dislike Huck. He reminds me of those guys always coming to my door to sell me Jesus. I always tell them, “I’m sold on Jesus!!” If Catholic isn’t good enough for you then curse my land and be done with it.Beyond that, why would anyone try to piss off Rush?
And why am I awake…
sunny on December 23, 2007 at 2:12 AM
I expect that Hucks numbers will be headed to McCain, Hunter, and Thompson territory pretty soon.
Where are the real conservatives? Did RR take them with him? Did the Clinton/Bush years damage this country so badly that the only way to get elected is to try and be both liberal and conservative at the same time? Why, as is evident in the 2000 election, is this country so polarized? Aren’t there ANY issues left that cross party lines that we can get behind? Is it going to take a catastrophic event like the depression to get folks wanting the same things for this country?
The only consolation is that the liberals are having the same problem. They don’t think their liberals are liberal enough.
The only answer is that it is time for a new Reaganesque movement in this country. We are bored with the old Reagan, and the next politician who figures out how to speak to us all, WILL become the new Reagan.
csdeven on December 23, 2007 at 6:36 AM
The clintons know everything that goes on in Arkansas.
Does anyone else wonder what position huckabee has been offered in the new clinton admisnistration?
peacenprosperity on December 23, 2007 at 8:12 AM
I swear it will come out that all the pollsters were “accidentally” using some Baptist church directory instead of the regular phone list.
saint kansas on December 23, 2007 at 8:43 AM
He sounds like another “slick” talker from Arkansas.
HarryBalzac on December 23, 2007 at 8:44 AM
One of two explanations for this:
- The more-innocent one is he doesn’t have the “hotline” number (that is something that is well-guarded by radio shows)
- If he doesn’t have the main studio line (1-800-282-2882), he’s lying (again) about loving Rush.
steveegg on December 23, 2007 at 8:45 AM
Very good questions. The short answer is that 75 years of virtually-unchecked growth of government has successfully killed conservatism and put us on at best the slow boat to outright socialism. Just take a look at how the last couple of tax-rate cut battles were fought. The argument that ultimately won the day wasn’t, “Let’s cut taxes because government is taking and spending too much.” It was, “Let’s cut the rates because it won’t actually reduce how much government takes.”
steveegg on December 23, 2007 at 8:55 AM
BTW,Russert is having his way with Ron Paul On Meet the Press.
broker1 on December 23, 2007 at 9:17 AM
“Dr.Paul is it Americas fault?” “Well there is a moral equivelance”
“Dr. Paul, you are for term limits yet you have been in office for 18 years” “Welll I dont, ummm I dont uhhh”
“Dr. Paul, you are against earmarks but you submitted 10 in the last bill for your own district” “Well I mean, mmmm I didnt vote on them so I dont know if they passed ummm..”
broker1 on December 23, 2007 at 9:22 AM
Thanks for the warning and the blow-by-blow.

Sorry, second cup of coffee….
broker1 on December 23, 2007 at 9:33 AM
Meet The Press (and Fox News Sunday) is delayed an hour here in the land of snow, cheese and beer (suburban Milwaukee, Wisconsin). Thanks to the warning about Paul being on MTP, I know not to tune into that.
steveegg on December 23, 2007 at 9:44 AM
Now I’m a huge dittohead, but I have to say: Bwahahahaaa! Good one, Huck!
petefrt on December 23, 2007 at 10:49 AM
Wow…Huckabee..what happend? Such promise..then you bash Bush on Iraq..and then bash Rush.
Goodbye Huckabee…

Sycophant.
Too late Huck. Limbaugh is just going to roast you on your record, better to have stayed quiet and hopefully Rush would lose interest. But now… I can not wait until Rush’s next show.
Theworldisnotenough on December 23, 2007 at 12:47 PM
Heh. I thought if we were going to engage in Huck fantasy support we might as well go all the way.
