Craig Crawford's Trail Mix

The Bolo Pundit with the I-Man... the duo returns.

With regard to the Clinton/Obama kindergarten flap...

This comment was spotted on the TPM blog, "By the way, now we have obama's kindergarten papers. Where are the clinton II white house papers??????"

Just like you question anyone who was a teenager during the 60's who claims they didn't do drugs,

I would wonder about any person who for at least a moment didn't aspire to be president when they were a child.

Imus can be heard in the Boston area on 96.9FM WTKK. It will be good to have you back with the I-Man. Huckabee was on Imus this morning and mentioned that Bernard was a prophet a couple of times but I was not sure what he was talking about. Did anyone catch that?

Bear,
I didn't want to be president. I wanted to be an astronaut. Still do.

Bowmanc,
Bernard had early on said Huckabee would be in the mix, back when his poll number were in the low single digits.

I hope Craig will be a regular on the new Imus program.

It's funny. When Imus zoned out and asked Richardson the same question twice this morning, it dawned on me that he's still a way, way, way better interviewer than Scarborough.

Bear.... I hope you feel better very soon.....

I saw a bit of Bushie's press conference while in the waiting room of my vet's office..... both the secretaries laughed when I looked up at the tv screen and made a raspberry sound..... the 3 of us started critiquing his speaking style....
god.... what an ass our President is...... or should I say..."are our president learning"......

Craig..... have fun with the I-man...... don't forget to speak "pirate"....

Craig,

No love fest with Imus tomorrow, please. It would be nice if he acknowledges your support, but getting you on in the first week already takes care of that. I hope you'll pick up where you guys left off, and have some good lines about what your parents did during Imus's sabbatical.

I haven't heard any Tassimo commercials yet, that might be an area you could pursue on your way to talking about the primaries.

Your appearance will be after I'm at work, so I hope MadMustard will have a way to capture it for us.

Craig has a good point about Huckabee's gender gap problem. Unfortunately, I don't think endorsements from women wrestlers, like Chyna or The Fabulous Moolah, are going to help him in that area.

If he didn't compete with them selling books, he might have been able to tap Laura Ingraham or Ms. Coulter for support.

I don't want to accuse those Republican women of voting on looks alone, but Mike isn't exactly a pretty face.

My Fellow Crawfords Listers\Trail Mixers

it is with great pleasure that I accept the burden and responsibility that comes with being the "Chia Head", I feel I have a mandate since I collected 100% of the votes(which admittedly is tempered somewhat by the fact that only two people voted) so my first act as "Head" will be to insure that all chia's come equipped with listening devices, followed by an unprovoked war with Ron Popeil and that Head On guy, followed by tax cuts and subsidies for folks to not grow chias.

I would also require that used chias be stored in Tucker Carlson's attic.

Thank you

ran,
I think the poll is great. The best thing about it is it really forced me to think about things I hadn't given much though to. I may change my mind, so are you gonna do the poll weekly? Will you post the results here?

Anywho, thanks for all the effort to put it together. Zogby better watch their ass...

Bear,

"Anyone know some quality remedy to break a fever?"

You don't want to break a fever. It is fighting some form of infection. You just don't want it to get dangerously high.

Easiest way is to put cold cloths around pulse points ( wrists and neck are easiest).

If it lasts more than 72 hours ... GO TO A DOCTOR!!!

dnd,

Sorry, I wasn't clear - Edwards' slip is reflected in dropping into the MOE from a clear frontrunner status outside the MOE in many IA polls until the last 6 months - I am fully aware that the uncertainty regarding any candidates whose positions fall within the poll's MOE of another can't be considered above that other candidate and am just using the 1st, 2nd, 3rd nomenclature as a matter of convenience reflecting the poll results rather than true relative positions of the candidates and meant to indicate that he's not significantly behind them. Specifically, instead of polling 1st, with a lead greater than the MOE in prior polls, Edwards is now essentially even with Clinton and Obama. That better?

KC, thanks for that IA poll link - as I read it, Hillary is the only candidate in either party whose lead in the poll is greater than the poll's MOE. Assuming that poll's sampling is random, considering its size, it should be a fairly good reflection of the voters' preferences when it was conducted.

"Come on Ed you're being too hard, some woman like short flabby men!"

With Really Big Bank Accounts

okay Clisters\Mixers, our very first poll is up and running, this is just sort of a trial run to get a general sense of what we are thinking. The weekly poll on the elections will start this weekend.

thanks to Jamie, dnd and pogo for their insights, suggestions, critiques and other assistance rendered, this poll would not be if not for them

this poll is open to everyone, so have at it and I will post results tomorrow.

on a more serious note, I still say something earth-shaking will happen before the conventions next summer that will completely change the election.

pogo,
That's better. What I find interesting is the trends in the polls, because the IA voters are predominately undecided.

"Assuming that poll's sampling is random, considering its size, it should be a fairly good reflection of the voters' preferences when it was conducted."

The randomness is an assumption. Probably not valid, but it's all the pollsters have to go with if they want to give a margin of error. Actually, the random sample has to be independent and identically-distributed . So my take away from this is that from a statistical point of view, the polls shed little light.

ran,
"on a more serious note, I still say something earth-shaking will happen before the conventions next summer that will completely change the election."

Now that's a great question to put on the poll!

kgc,

That picture tells us everything we need to know about why Chris Matthews thought Fred Thompson was the Republican savior. He's tall.

That ought to register a 12 on the Matthews Meter.

hey all, sorry about not posting the "new thread" message as before, but lately been pre-posting new threads an a 6am and 1pm schedule -- so pls look for new threads at those times

oh right, the poll can found on Craig's blogroll

Pre-posting???? Hummm.....

Will someone be taping Imus tomorrow??

tt

Huckabee is kinda cute with his dark hair and dimple.

tt

Jamie, harborwoman,
How's the weather out there? Looks nasty on the news. Hope you guys are ok.

but he really needs to get his teeth fixed, tiptoe

Tacoma is fine. I haven't seen the reports for Gig Harbor so I hope Harborwoman will chime in.

It's the low lying areas near rivers that are really getting hammered.

Maybe the Huckster can get the same discount as Norm Coleman

http://blogs.citypages.com/blotter/2006/02/oh_the_irony_smilin_norm_thank.php

Jamie, the SEA to Downtown area OK? I'll be driving that tomorrow afternoon.

well, gotta go. Headed to jamie and HW's neck o' th' woods tomorrow ar zero dark thirty -

jamie, I sent you an e-mail.

dog,

Thanks for the update on the Fabulous Moolah. I was straining for names that sounded good. Chyna was the only one I knew.

That being said, now it would be very impressive if Huckabee could get her endorsement.

Gig Harbor was spared the nastier effects of the storm, but I have many friends in Belfair (that's where I lived for many years, and where I worked for 29 years) whose homes are flooded or who are stranded because of water over roadways...deep water! There was a woman who called for aid last night - pregnant and going into labor - from Tahuya (by Belfair). Emergency personnel were unable to reach her last night because of the flooding; last I heard, they were still searching for her.

Jamie and others,

I don't pretend to know the difference, but a co-worker said there were some Chanukkah laughs here.

ran...

Found the poll, but where do we get our 'tokens'?

Bear:

Bernard said through I-Man's earphones: "President Huckabee is on the line now..."

I have been thinking what a dangerous situation we will be in if crazy John McCain gets elected.
He was thumping his chest, bragging how he was the only one who supported the Surge , and then he brags how it's working, and he took credit in a back-handed way for being the force that separated Rumsfeld from the picture.
He says we are on a very important mission in Iraq, and al-Queda would be claiming victory if The Surge never happened. He said if we had not Surged it would be tantamount to "surrender."
Hey, I'd like a new car and a new truck and a fancy big new house, too...but I can't afford it.
McCain thinks it's OK , wonderful even, to print more money and borrow 2 and a half trillion dollars to stay in Iraq...for what?
I guess he must not have thought about the fact that al-Queda in Iraq is a creation of FrankenBush...the whole situation of the destruction of a huge nation's infrastructure, and wanton killing of civilians , greatly overwhelms all the problems Saddam Hussein created.
McCain has blinders on...he sees temporary lessoning of violence in Iraq and he waves Old Glory in our faces.
I don't care how much these people love war and want to continue the "adventure" in Iraq, there's no money for it.
We are way past bankruptcy...$40,000,000 an hour more in debt...soon it will be a million dollars a minute.
There's no money for this and McCain can just go to hell.

EdVB...

Biden is on Hardball right now. He's utterly disgusted with Bush over Iran...makes for good listening. God! His knowledge of good foreign policy would make him an awesome president for these times. You've chosen a good candidate to back!

Dex,
Huh, I woulda thought you'd have been outraged about the link KGC posted in the last thread about Hillary:

http://jaydiatribe.blogspot.com/2007/06/senator-clintons-political-epitaph.html

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9A0DE3DC1430F930A35755C0A9619C8B63&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=3

EdVB & tiptoe, I should be able to grab the Imus audio tomorrow. Assuming that my alarm clock wake up time is properly pre-posted.

Gee Whiz, dnd...that's old news that's been kicked around for years now.
There were so many chances AFTER this that HRC coulda repented, admitted a mistake...so no, not reading this was not the problem, years after she is committed to the lie that it is valiant to stay there.
I turn purple and curse when she says she is going to end the war...that is the lie that gets me a-screamin'...cuz only Dennis and Crazy Uncle Mike would end the war pronto-like.
I don't even like Richardson's plan for withdrawal, cuz I don't believe in any slow phasing.
Listen to the wise man: Dennis Kucinich for President.

The daily screed by Matthews against the Clintons ... Yes I'm turning to CNN now ... But Tweety is such an aggravating bore.

I Love the Flow Chart.

I just got off the phone with Frontier Airlines. I donated all my frequent flier miles to FisherHouse.org. They told me they had over three million miles donated to Fisher House. Makes me feel good about America.

dnd..didja catch this? I am copying from Bret Hayworth's blog here:

"...this morning on the Don Imus show.:...
Imus asked about a lack of foreign policy experience, Huckabee went with a joke....

Huckabee’s remark? He allowed he might not be as versed in foreign policy as some, then added, “but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.”

Huckabee has perfect comedic timing...and he can improv...he will be great in President Kucinich's Cabinet as Court Jester!

Dex,
"...this morning on the Don Imus show.:...
Imus asked about a lack of foreign policy experience, Huckabee went with a joke...."

I heard it. What a doofus. There is no candidate that can come close to Richardson's foreign policy experience. None. Ok, maybe Biden, but the rest have about as much experience as Shrub did when he took office.

sorry all, I was foolin around and changed the settings for the poll, it's available again on Craig's blogroll.

I'm not as smart as I think I am

HW,

Thanks for the heads up on Joe Biden. I'm still at work, so I hope no news happens to mess up the 7 PM rebroadcast of Hardball. I wish more people would take a long look at Biden. The guy is no dummy, AND I believe he could work with both sides of the aisle.

If nothing else, he's at least been around long enough to remember what it was like to work with a statesman like Daniel Patrick Moynihan.

dnd ,

That was very thoughtful of you.

well i did talk to the I-man today when he called to book me for tomorrow -- he was having a struggle with his microsoft word spell check at the time, it seems that he was having trouble spelling catastrophic in order describe the technical meltdowns on the show today (most likely for an angry email to those in charge) -- so he's back friends, soon to be feisty as ever

that's awesome dnd, we Americans are a fine group of folks, unfortunately I don't think most people in the world sees that there is a difference between us and the policies of our Government.

During the summers I work with kids from all over Europe, the Caribbean and South America and deal with many others. The almost universal response to the question "How much different are we than you thought we would be" is "you're all so much nicer than I thought you would be"

Yes, Craig! Can't wait to see you tomorrow with Imus! And I hope they will have solved their technical difficulties. Today's show was largely a disaster.

Saw a Tassimo at Target the other day and thought of both of you. How's that machine doing?

Fry,
"That was very thoughtful of you."

Thanks Fry, but I don't think of it as being thoughtful. I think of it as giving thanks for the blessings I've received. And viewed in that light, I'm probably a cheapskate ;-)

dnd,

Well cheapskate or not it was the right thing to do.

That hucksterbee ....refused to say whether he thought Mormons were Christians.

Craig,

"Huckabee should get some famous women on board"????

Your old pals at CBS News have named a few who are already "on board" the Huckabee juggernaut -- ALL THREE OF THEM RAPED AND MURDERED BY MACHO MAN WAYNE DUMOND who Huckabee (far more than Jim Guy Tucker who preceded him) endlessly proclaimed as "railroaded" because of his 17 year old first victim's distant relation to Bill Clinton and who twisted the system to get him released.

The last two were raped and killed directly after Huckabee politicized and defiled the parole process and got the poor Mr. DuMond (whose claim of being "castrated" by agents of Clinton Huckabee never challenged) was released in 1999.

His shameful, ignorant and destructive violation of the parole process is fully detailed in a link contained within this article.

Wouldn't it be more effective for good journalists (and people) like you to stop looking at the Huckabee Hound Kartoon Karnival and the freaking polls (which are the Perez Hiltons of politics) and actually examine THE MAN?

I'd have to say that the reason Huckabee doesn't believe in evolution comes more from self-knowledge than any fundamentalist dogma.

Here's the CBS News link:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/12/03/politics/main3569614.shtml

By the way -- you all know what a juggernaut is, right? An unstoppable force that crushes everything in its path. Given Jesus H. Mikey's ignorance of everything except selling "charming" swampland in Florida to the press and to voters, he'll be GOOD at that. (He certainly wasn't a success as a preacher or as a governor. Or, for that matter, as a father.)

By the way... anyone see Missus Huckabee recently? I think she's playing gin in a locked closet with Missus Rochester.)

My hunch is that ol' I-man loves the Chucklebee for the same Imus-stated reason he endorsed Bush in 2000 -- as a source of great material. THAT'S why he worked to make Duhya and Cheney our leaders.

Anything for the fans, right?

welcome back 9/11, hope all is well with you

Thank you, ran. Just here for a moment -- and pretty much always in treatment.

Ran I can't do the survey. I am undecided and the mandatory question would cause me to select a candidate. If it was a ""who are you leaning to," question and had multiple options, I would answer. Another good question would be to know if there are any candidates the respondent would not select.

Thanks for the dot!!!

9/11 good to see you having a chance to post.

I want to correct you though. The only thing Imus did to help Bush get re-elected was to say that he was backing Kerry. That may have been enough, but I wouldn't characterize him as backing Bush/Cheney.

zoey: thanks that completely missed that(I should get a nomination for a Captain Obvious award for that statement). since this is just a one time test poll if you wouldn't mind filling it out as if it were worded that way but not a big deal if not.

"Another good question would be to know if there are any candidates the respondent would not select."

I am leaning toward including something along that line for the weekly campaign poll
thanks for your input

ps
Hi ran I took the poll
Are we supposed to look for a new one each week?

Hi 9/11
I hoped you were feeling better but I see it's Imus outrage that got you to post. I like "Chuckleberry."

Mrs. H and the two boys are campaigning on the bbq circuit in South Carolina.

Huckabee must be doing something. I watched Glenn Beck last night and country singer Trace Adkins said that if he had to choose a candidate to vote for right now , he'd pick Huckabee. In non-political news , the Detrioit Tigers just made a major trade with the Florida Marlins. Detroit gets Dontrelle Willis and Miguel Cabrera , while Florida gets Cameron Maybin , Andrew Miller and 4 other players.

Whoa baby was Biden on fire on Tweety tonight?

Ran, fun survey. The last question that asks about selecting someone to serve in the winning administration, I would prefer a none of the above. I have a strong belief that some of the Democratic candidates running for President should all go back to their day jobs if they don't win the nomination. Dodd and Biden, in particular, are both good where they are.

KGC: 2 polls on Friday is the plan right now, I have a few technical details to work on but I will keep everyone updated.

dnd...Biden was so good on Hardball tonight that I watched him twice!

Ed... I hope you got to hear every word Biden said! He was spectacular!

I add green onions and parsley

Ed,

Imus absolutely endorsed Bush/Cheney in 2000. Which is when the real damage was done.

When he made his remark that Cheney was still a war criminal and Hillary Clinton still Satan, it was the first time I can remember that Imus didn't include Al Gore in his trinity as the Antichrist.

I think the remarks Imus made on Monday were lucid and full of character he has shown before. That's a significant part of him at the times he is reflective. But I have to agree with what Michael Harrison of Talkers said this week as well -- as a personality Imus exists mainly in the moment. Which was hunky dory when it was at its peak as a real comedy show in the 70's and 80's. It's just less viable for what espouses itself as serious political discussion.

Lots of people praise him as an interviewer. I think he is a good conversationalist.

I wish him well.

As someone involved in pediatric oncology as both a volunteer and a friend of a brilliant teenager in very serious treatment, I feel the Imus Ranch really provides unrivaled experience for the children it serves. It just is a very expensive proposition compared to both of its models -- Mr. and Mrs. Ham Jordan's Camp Rainbow and Paul Newman's Hole In The Wall Camps, both of which provide similarly exceptional experiences for many more sick kids for a lot less money.

To be honest both the Jordans and the Newmans/Hotchner put a lot less of their ego on the line in their camps and are much, much less obligated to corporate sponsors which was Imus' chosen instant recipe. (Remember Harrison's comment that he exists in the moment.) Imus' main emulation of Newman was in creating a for profit food company. It has had excellent food products and has evolved into a terrific green cleaning products line: what it always lacked (not really to Imus' surprise) was Newman's overpowering universal appeal. A loyal but limited fan base can't ever support anything on that model's level.

I hope that Deirdre Imus can relaunch her book with the new show.

Same wish applies for Craig's fine Machiavelli rewrite.

I also want to recommend that all the good people of Crawford's List look into the truly remarkable Big Apple Circus Clown Care Units. Again... remarkably good use of money (which is no surprise given that it is founded by the brilliant financier and philanthropist Alan Slifka) in helping to treat children in original and effective ways. (If you liked Danny Kaye's hospital scene in The Red Pennies, you'll love Clown Care.)

kgc,

Go and spend some time exploring Arkansas newspaper archives for both reporting and editorials.

They really don't like Mike there. They think he screwed over the state, the law and the people from a number of highly non-erotic positions.

As for Imus outrage... read the post above.

Corey,

Huckabee is doing something.

Andy Griffith did it a sweatier, sexier version of it first as that Arkansas Traveler Lonesome Rhodes in A Face In The Crowd.

Anyone seen Mrs. Huckabee??? Or Lock 'N' Load Junior?

Love those family values. (Chuck Norris has 'em the same as Bob Hope did: if it moved and it didn't go for Crosby first, he'd jump it.)

shallots and rosemary in the pancakes, then parsley, scallions and butter to drizzle over them when they are done

kgc,

I was writing about a political moral moron who twisted all judicial precedent to let loose a convicted psycho who then raped and murdered two more women almost instantly.

But if you're cool with that... that's cool, that's cool.

Maybe I should support him to be the NEXT Bush A-G.

Bye all!

9/11,
Imus supported McCain in 2000, Kerry in 2004.

9/11

Hucksterbee is not acceptable to me in any way
But of course none of that is new
Not that pointing it out at any time is a bad thing

I was just making a joke (apparently not a good one) about the timing of your post.

I have been posting about what creepy guy he is for quite some time.

9/11,

You're right about 2000. He preferred Bush to Gore, even after Gore humbled himself in order to get some Imus air-time. He was wrong about Gore's sins, and while never admitting it, Imus at least realized by '04 that a change was needed.

For what it's worth, Imus says that he and his wife are both registered Republicans.

Harborwoman,

Thanks again. Yes I got to hear the entire Biden interview. Zoey is right that Biden and Dodd are good in their current jobs, but I'd still love to see Joe at the top of the next administration. Too bad Delaware doesn't have about 55 more electoral votes.

Jamie,

Glad you liked the flow chart. Seems there's definite trend there regarding ultimate fears.

Craig,

Perhaps Romney or Huckabee could solicit support from Chyna...?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chyna

:~D

Do you have a dish or cable? I get RFD-TV here in Woodbridge.

Lou Dobbs has a sanctuary stable problem.

That sounds yummy, too, but I'd like your sausage, peppers and onions a lot.

I'm really ignorant about Judaism. What is Hanukkah?

*L* @ kgc...yes, I heard that on KO, too, and was chuckling....

I've come up with a campaign slogan for Huckabee.
Mike Huckabee '08: He may not kick ass....but his friends do!

Yes, Muppetheads, Biden was giving hell to Bush.
So was Richard Wolffe, KO. Rachel Madow..(is that her name?)
Tweety, everyone in the lineup tonight, even Abrams.
Bush is flat-lying to us...Gregory nailed him , then backed off...ABC got in a zinger at Bush , delivered by Jim Axelrod...even Faux Noise's softball had some steam on it...and I agree, this
finally destroys all US credibility.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Santa Claus told an elf and the elf tipped me off: I can finally join the modern age as I am getting a dvr this year for a holiday gift.
None too soon...my vcr finally totally bit the dust.
I went to the local stores...and sure enough...no longer can one buy a vcr without a dvd player...and we have three dvd players already...what to do until I get my dvr?
I had one option: venture into the Goodwill store for a used vcr. They had ten of them, from three dollars to ten dollars.
I bought the best , most modern, least scratched one. Of course, it had no remote.
All it has to do is record Imus for three weeks and then I'll donate it back to Goodwill.
Wish me luck...now to try it out.

...and don't tell me to just watch Imus live...I usually don't fall asleep until 5:00 A.M. !
Yes, it will be a grand reunion with I-Man and Craig tomorrow!
I will get up see that live ...but keep your fingers crossed...becuz I have not seen a bigger clusterfugg in TV production since...well...Imus in the Morning from The Imus Ranch , at times!
At one point Imus jerked out his headphones and we were told he was walking out , over to WABC , across the street, and was going to do the show with Lou Raffino in the engineers' crib.

Good job, dex! I was going to suggest eBay...but Goodwill was a better/quicker solution.

HW - Chanukah - Go to my blog. The whole thing is there.

9/11 - Please, please stay. I've missed you. Hope you are as well as can be expected. How is VB?

Thanks for the education, Jamie. You do a great job with your blog!

dog---Mitt was taken to task by Rudy over the illegals hired by his landscapers. Knee-jerk reaction!?!

Maybe I'll do brisket and latkes tomorrow.

Mitt Romney truly is a total tool. Just watched an interview of him by Greta Van Susteren, and there's no doubt in my mind that he simply lies/says what he thinks the voters he wishes to 'move' want to hear in order to get their votes.

He probably is pro-life...and the lie was to the voters of MA when he ran for governor. If his record is as spotlessly pro-life as he says it is, in terms of the legislation he signed in MA, that's the only logical conclusion.

On serving in the military, he says his sons made their own choices as young adults in an all-volunteer military...made no distinction about how much easier that is when you've grown up in a family that probably discourages military service, instead stressing all the opportunities the family wealth has to offer them. But, he says...he and his sons value those who choose to serve.

Says our current immigration laws should be enforced...then goes on to say, when asked if that would mean prosecution for employers who hire illegals, that they would be fined. Described how a series of fines would bring the employers in line. Right, Mitt! That'll take care of the problem. It's clear that business interests dictate his response on immigration.

And he ended with a patently fake platitude about how good it was of the Gideons to provide him reading material (meaning the Bibles they place in hotel rooms) while he's on the campaign trail. I may puke....

I think I hate being lied to more than nearly anything else in life...which is why I can hardly look at most of the Republican candidates...and even a few of the Dems. By and large, what passes for leaders in this country, ain't....

That woman ain't as bad as looking at Jennifer Love Hewitt's fat bikini pictures which upset her so recently.
Last thing I cared to see...Yahoo! put up a link yesterday and well...curiosity killed the cat...I looked...very bad photos...I do not know anything about Hewitt...who is she? Was she a sex symbol? Cuz she ain't nomo...

h-woman...my discount vcr works perfectly so I will be able to record Imus .
We tried a TIVO machine a while ago but my wife didn't like it for some reason ..oh yeah..we had it set to record her fave show and it malfunctioned...so we sent it back.

dnd,

Imus supported McCain until McCain lost. (He is with politics as he is with sports teams -- fickle, vain and narcissistic.)

He was loudly in support of Bush and loudly mocking of Gore. The only mercy he showed there was his undying love of Holy Joe Lieberman.

How do I know this?

I watched him daily. I still liked him then.

Murray Waas has a devastating history of Huckabee, the intense and ignored contact of so many of his victims with Huckabee and the serial rapist/killer.

Waas has been covering this since 2002 for the Arkansas Times.

This is not a casual incident: this is deeply characterological.

We've already had Bush look into Putin's eyes and see he was a good man. Huckabee was confronted with a mass killer and saw a poor Christian brother born on the wrong side of the tracks who got railroaded.

He is stupider than Bush. And less informed if that is possible.

The only reason why Huckabee is rising is because journalists are guffawing endlessly over his videos with Cheatin' Chuck Norris and Somewhat Sociopathic Ric Flair.

This I blame on their utter sloth as lap dogs -- and the damn WGA strike. Without Jon Stewart and crew to correct 'em and Stephen Colbert to mock them.... they just loll around like bimbos and stare at what is approximately funny ot them.

I am amazed that both a major network and a serious journalist were all over this today -- and that here it's jokes about fifth rate TV performers endorsing him and wondering where Pluckafee will find the support of them gals.

Somehow the timing of this story and the release of Sweeney Todd are really synchronous.

Here is the Murray Waas link:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2007/12/04/documents-expose-huckabee_n_75362.html

By the way all you journalism and Imus fans --

Won't you be happy if the media -- surely not Brokebank Huckabee who hasn't had the cash for a sandwich -- elects him as The Eight Years Later Edition Of The Likeable Guy You Just GOTTA Have At Your Next BBQ -- And Go Running With, Too?

9-11...we survived , so far, the worst administration in history, with the Holy Crusader as President.
Maybe we could survive 8 years of Huckabee, chucklin' , smokin' and jokin' all the way down the path.

But we can not survive John Mc Cain for more than a year before the wheels fall off the world.

BTW...glad to have ya back .

VB hasn't posted for a long time either.

RUN AL RUN !!!! He's RUNNING STRONG!! (..sorry...it's the other Al!)

Dexter and Jamie,

VB is doing remarkable work at art school. One of her teachers compares her work to Kathe Kollewitz's.

I think Huckabee is less self-aware (despite my evolution razz) than Bush is. His advisers as governor were below the level of even Jim Guy's -- same as with his campaign.

The only person who ever celebrated him as a governor was -- well, he's on the radio again. Ol' Mike was one of the worst administrators ever in any statehouse -- little understanding of governance but a love for glibness, performing with his cover band and easily distracted radio hosts.

I'll put it simply -- as governor Mike Huckaberry made Rick Perry look like he was Mario Cuomo. (In the interest of objectivity, Eliot Spitzer makes Mike Huckabee look like Mario Cuomo, too.)

About the only thing ol' Dingleberry Hound has going for him when it comes to not destroying the nation and the planet within 15 minutes is that Norman Podhoretz is NOT his foreign affairs adviser.

Dexter,

Did you ever visit Franken's PAC site before he announced? It was really effective on lots of levels.

Plus I think Franken is the only Democratic candidate who not only physically could beat the crap of both Chuck Norris and Ric Flair.... he possibly would.

He's more of an actual wrestler than Flair ever was.

However, Flair is more of a real financial expert than Ben Stein ever was. (Which isn't saying much.)

Huffpo has the complete Waas story on the Huckabee
dumonde story apparently some new papers have been made available
