Huckabee Strikes Back
I like the FARKing comment: “Christian conservative Mike Huckabee decides not to turn the other cheek in new book.”
Huckabee Lashes Back, Settles Scores
Out this week: Do The Right Thing: Inside the Movement That’s Bringing Common Sense Back to America by Mike Huckabee.
Time calls it “at once a memoir of his campaign, a treatise on the ills of the Republican Party, and a blueprint for his own political future.” The book is also “filled with sharp words for fellow Republicans who frustrated his bid for the party’s nomination.”
Mitt Romney “comes in for the roughest treatment… He notes that Romney declined to make a phone call of congratulations after Huckabee beat the oddsmakers to win the Iowa caucuses, ‘which we took as a sign of total disrespect.’”
He also “calls out Pat Robertson, the Virginia-based televangelist, and Dr. Bob Jones III, chancellor of Bob Jones University in South Carolina, for endorsing Rudy Giuliani and Romney, respectively. He also has words for the Texas-based Rev. John Hagee, who endorsed the more moderate John McCain in the primaries, as someone who was drawn to the eventual Republican nominee because of the lure of power.”
Then read the sequel:
Huck unloads on Mitt; Romney camp hits back
Wham. Bam. Not even a thank you. Oooh. Ouch.
Boy, I can’t wait for next week’s episode where we find out if Rethuglicans hate Rethuglicans even more than Americans do.
It is just a matter of faith in greed. I’ll pray and ask, What Would Reagan Do?
PS: In a related Foolocracy irony, “Mayor Resigns, Tells Town They Are Stupid.”
No one can say Bill Beck is an indecisive politician. He tells it just as he sees it.
Beck walked into the last city council meeting in St. Antony, Idaho and announced his resignation as mayor.
Beck said the townspeople were too stupid to understand, and the city council members too stupid to work with.
He then told the town to go to hell.
When Beck announced his resignation, the audience broke into applause.
Beck is the subject of a recall attempt, and last week, he said he would fight it. There was also an attempted recall of him in 2006, but that failed to get enough signatures.
