I'm not so sure you can apply that label to a man who was offered a chance to laugh off an old article he wrote about dancing being unchristian-like and instead more-or-less said "Well I wasn't wrong".

I was referring to his appearance on the Daily Show back in 2008. He was literally the only Republican candidate that would even touch it, and he was actually really funny.

He seems to have gotten even more stodgy since.

I always considered the GOP a bunch of snake-oil salesmen but I'm not sure how to take it when one of them is literally doing it. How will his supporters reconcile that, I wonder? Does this mean we'll never get to ironically use the term 'Huckmentum' for when he jumps ahead in a state primary for a week in early 2017 :ohdear:

"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth."
Also in '08 and to a diminished degree in 2012 Republicans would praise Clinton to disparage Obama fairly often. I hope the oppo research teams dig plenty of those tapes up for the general.

"That's what they all say!"
That reminds me of how sometimes Republicans will criticize Obama by recalling Bill Clinton's administration as a bipartisan golden age.

I can't wait for future Republicans to ask President Hillary why she can't be reasonable like Obama.

"Huck is a fatass" just doesn't occur as easily in an election where Chris Cristie is a candidate

Huckabee is just normal southron dad fat. Cristie's the kind of fat where if he falls down he might get smothered by his own chins.

It's far worse than that. He pardoned a rapist who went on to rape and murder (at least) one woman, then he pardoned Maurice Clemmons who, after he got out, murdered four police officers. Huckabee will never, ever, ever get the nom for president or VP and he knows it.

Despite how many times Drudge posts a picture of him in cutoffs holding a guitar, O'Malley has the charisma of a filing cabinet. I really can't see him ever being President. He'd be a good VP in 2024 for nominee Julian Castro.

Holy hell, everyone watch the video in this article. They spend 2 minutes talking about how important the educational history DVD series is, and how they got great animators and historians to make it for them. Then they play a clip, and it's horrible. Not that you'd expect anything different, of course, but it's astonishingly bad.

edit: I also really want to know what's going on behind the camera at 4:15 when the guy suddenly looks very afraid when looking toward the producers.
