SecState Condi Rice pretty much called Mike Huckabee crazy today for saying in a speech before the Center for Strategic International Studies and in an article in Foreign Affairs that the Bush administration has an “arrogant bunker mentality.” Huck’s response: Who, me? I may not have even written the line that has you so upset.

Yeah. It’s a response right out of the “Are you kidding me? No, seriously. Are you kidding me? That’s your answer?” files.

He does take the credit/blame for signing off on and delivering the line (twice), but the “I’m not sure I wrote it” schtick is so “yeah, but I didn’t inhale” that it beggars belief.

There’s a word that describes this kind of hair-splitting/word parsing/stupefyingly ridiculous response: Clintonian.
