What will Mike Huckabee do next?
He gave a reporter a quote about Jesus and Satan (a complete distortion of Mormon doctrine). He aired the Christmas ad (we won't get into whether or not that was a cross). He invited the press along while he hunted pheasants (what kind of real hunter wants a bunch of noisy reporters scaring away the game?). He called on Mitt Romney to apologize for telling Iowa voters about his record as governor (heaven forbid people should know about how often he raised taxes). Now he's showing his "negative ad" about Romney (which he admits is full of half-truths and flat-out lies) to the press so that he can show everyone that he's above negative ads (and so that he won't have to pay to have it aired).
Anybody remember that one commercial slogan: what fun fruit rollups will we rollout with next?
That is huckabee for you. He was my governor so I know him better than people who don't live in AR. He is a master at dirty politics and spin. If you would like a little information on huck I am posting some links...
