Friday Night

on a Saturday...my calendar is all funked up

so anyway, those of you fortunate enough to endure me in real life will know that I've been preaching this for weeks now. It goes like this: Isn't it curious that the MSM is so gung-ho for Huckabee, who is the Stereotypical Characture of a "Republican"?

Fortunately, McQ of Q and O fame has done the leg-work to prove the point. To quote:

...the left and the Democrats see Huckabee - no matter how skilled he is at oratory, or charming and glib, or how well Republicans accept/tolerate him - is their dream candidate for the Republican nomination.

For one, he's a preacher - a Southern Baptist preacher. For the secular left constituency, that's a theocrat in waiting. Especially when he plops out statements like I highlighted above.

Secondly he's a Republican from a Southern state. For the Democratic base that makes him an automatic racist.

Tell me that isn't a combination from lefty heaven.

Please read the whole thing, it's well worth the effort.

As a recovering Southern Baptist, Ive always viewed Huckabee with suspicion. I know the type. Been there, done that.

When asked, my response is this: "I've had quite my fill of liberal ex-governors from Arkansas; Thank You, No".

Stephen "VodkaPundit" Green is ready to stick a fork in Fred Thompson. I'll take it under advisement: I respect Mr.Green's judgement, but hope holds eternal, right?

There's more to this though, but it's late. We'll have words again soon.
