AP on the Chuck Norris appearance below:

Hannity’s right: A fatally weak candidate can’t buy an election, which is why we never had a President Perot and we’ll probably never have (god willing) a President Bloomberg, although a $1 billion ad b…

I see the Huckataint is infectious.

Why do we lend legitimacy to celebrities who endorse a candidate? It’s pointless.

The Hammer and I had a two-hour IM argument

Would it kill you to see a girl in person?

She’s kind of cute.

“IM argument.” Sheesh.

At first I thought Huck might be the man, in the beginning. However, I looked at ALL of the candidates records, rhetoric, etc. and he just didn’t practice what he preaches. (No pun intended). You obviously stopped listening after “FairTax”. As much as I would love to see the FairTax implimented, I am not willing to vote for a candidate like Huckabee. I was disappointed, but moved on to someone I think holds better conservative values. You need to look a little deeper man..

IMO If he can’t handle Mitt and whatever Mitt can throw at him he should shut up about it and quit trying to hit above his weight.

Huck can’t handle who?? Oh, you mean the main steam media, and the Republican money-cons…. hmm, you got a point there.

Not that I needed any more reasons to dislike Huck : )

I think the fact that Huck can’t raise money speaks for itself. He is left to “media stunts” like unleashing Chuck and attacking Hannity for a supposed “insult” to keep him in the news cycles. Nobody is begrudging Huck these obvious and lame ploys.

guess Chuck thinks diferent

We want a miserable failure completely incapable of producing any measurable income as President.

Bring on the failures.

but since there’s no way to do that counterfactual without separating his wealth from the career that earned it

Let’s not portray him has some Horatio Alger story. He was the son of a very wealth man who was a governor and who ran for President himself. Hell, he was named after hotel magnate J. Willard Marriott, his father’s best friend. Mitt was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Sure, he turned that silver spoon into a gem encrusted platinum spoon, but it is a hell of a lot easier to make money when you already have a ton of it and don’t ever have to worry about it.

Didn’t Chuck Norris recently sue that “Chuck Norris Myths” book because it “hurt his reputation”, and then use those same myths in TV propaganda for Huckster?

He doesn’t object to ALL of the “Chuck Norris Facts,” just the dirty and blasphemous ones. He had no creative control over the book and didn’t want them including “Facts” like, “Jesus can walk on water, but Chuck Norris can walk on Jesus.”

Kevin Bacon had input into “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.” Why does it make Chuck Norris a hypocrite if he wants editorial say in the “Chuck Norris Facts”?

Well, I suppose it’s better than the Chinese buying it through Hillary. Good thing McCain got the money out of politics or we’d be knee deep in superfluous celebrities spouting silliness.

Excellent point. Mitt won’t be beholden to anyone but the electorate as a payback for donations.

And even if his dad’s money helped start his businesses it couldn’t have made them successful. I’m sure we’ve all known someone who inherited a windfall and blew it on fancy dinners and toys.

It was a profit issue.

Just to clarify, I still think Chuck is waaaay wrong.

You know what? I still like Chuck even though he has been blind to A LOT of the Hucksters shuck & jive. At least Chuck has the ba11s to vote on the Republican ticket, be open about it and even campaign for a “republican”.(I use that term loosly in light of the candidate) Mini Kudos to Chuck.
