but you have to admit Mike Huckabee is good at off-the-cuff humor.

Almost all successful southern pastors are.

Don’t want pastor-president. Don’t want jokester-president.
The bully pulpit isn’t a preacher’s pulpit
and there isn’t a comedy-club brick wall in the Oval Office.

I’d say it’s probably written ON his cuff.

Since he has been saying this all over the country, I don’t think that it qualifies as “off the cuff”.

Hey, Ron Paul finished ahead of Fred Thompson in Michigan. What does this mean, O Wise Ones???

I’m not a fan and won’t vote for him (and will check the air pressure in my tires next time I drive the car), but you have to admit Mike Huckabee is good at off-the-cuff humor.

Yeah. Can we get him booked for a 5 minute set on Showtime’s Live at the Apollo? No?

Huh. So he’s just like the Democrats. Get out there and stop people from voting from me. How long before he starts making jokes about slashing tires and stealing signs from yards?

If he wasn’t such a liar and if his potential affect on this country wasn’t so bothersome, I could let my guard down and think he’s funny again. But he has become THE Elmer Gantry for me and I just don’t trust him.

I am sick to death of Huckabee’s one liners. I do not want a comedian/preacher in the White House. A little humor is okay. But when you sling one liners like a fly fisherman on crack slings his line, it gets old. Enough. Stop it. Let it go. Get serious.

Huckabee is just plain odd.

He reminds of a creepy distant uncle.

He’s used this same joke before. I thought it was funny the first time, but maybe it’s starting to get old now. Hopefully he’s out after SC.

I don’t find him funny at all. His ‘humor’ seems robotic and contrived.

No, it’s not funny. That wasn’t funny. And I don’t mean “not funny” in a “little too much truth to it” sort of way, I mean “not funny” in a “lame” way. We’ve got to stop lowering the bar on humor for politicians. Otherwise they’re going to keep on trying to be funny, thinking they have a realistic shot, instead of just telling me what the hell they actually think about taxes and national security.

HuckaGeek has played out his Dan Rather “Down Home Humor” waaaaaaaay past the point of palatability….

I am an Independant Baptist, (not conformed to the SBC sect), and I can tell you I am past the point of being fed up with this A$$…..

I’m voting Fred…..Win—Lose—-or—-Draw.

Good list.
1,2,6,7,8 is good enough for me…in fact any two of the five would do it.
10. Amnesty for illegals should be in there, he believes in that 24 hr. “waiting” period.
11. Joking about serious subjects, hiding his ignorance
12. Not having an idea about foreign policy, let alone the middle-east.
The list is almost endless, and the list would be longer than the Democrats list…

I thought it was pretty good! In fact, I’d love to see more concession speeches from Mike Huckabee in the future.

When he started talking about Huckster’s illegal alien policy in Arkansas Steve Docy cut him off in mid word and when Fred called him on it he said yes he was cutting him off because they had heard all that before. Who’s Fox backing again?

I would have immediately shot back, “Oh I must be in the wrong place. Is this not the same channel which runs endless loops every Britney Spears ‘event’?”

I miss the Fair and Balanced Fox News.

Steve Docy’s a retard with a microphone, Fox ought to relegate him back to only doing the weather.

He isn’t a conservative even in religion. He was in the liberal wing of the Southern Bapists and left when the conservatives led by Charles Stanley took over the denomination. So his track record even on religion isn’t conservative. By the way OT, Fred got slammed by Fox and Friends this morning while they were interviewing him. When he started talking about Huckster’s illegal alien policy in Arkansas Steve Docy cut him off in mid word and when Fred called him on it he said yes he was cutting him off because they had heard all that before. Who’s Fox backing again?
