Huckabee “Humor”
Blues reader Lisa says she got a call from Chuck Norris last night asking her to vote for Mike Huckabee. I hope she told him she would — even though she won’t. Huckabee is telling supporters to let the air out of the tires of people who aren’t voting for him.
In a brief homecoming Monday afternoon in an airplane hangar, Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee urged his supporters to get people out to vote today.
And, Huckabee jokingly said if they know people who intend to vote for someone else, to go let the air out of their tires.
It’s amazing how the mean-spiritedness can show its face through “jokes”. Lisa, let us know if Chuck shows up at your house with an icepick.

Kind of a DIY form of voter disenfranchisement. He’s putting power back in the hands of the people!

Sure this SOUNDS bad, but how different is this from voter ID laws? It’s just less institutionalized and more versatile.
At least, as a Clinton Democrat, I feel reasonably safe in the sanctity of my tires. I don’t think the Obama hippies’ “new kind of politics” includes flagrant obstruction at the level of the individual voter. It’s much more efficient to just not seat delegates.

I’m a “hippy” for supporting Obama? Cool.
Don’t worry, Joey, once we wrap up the nomination, there will be plenty of seats for all the delegates.

Oh I’ll be so glad when this is over so that Roy and Homeboy can go sing Kumbaya with everyone who doesn’t like Hillary (especially the brilliant Republican idea people like Gingrich, DeLay and Cheney) and us old, immoral assholes can go screw ourselves. Thank God the moral candidate will prevail.

If Mike Huckabee is elected, he has promised to stack his cabinet with squirrels. Vote no to Rodents in the White House!!!

There you have it: We are split evenly between hippies and “old, immoral assholes.” BTW Bill, I hope that you weren’t suggesting that I’m somebody who doesn’t like Hillary. I like her just fine and think that she would make a wonderful President.

Folks, either Clinton or Obama will be the Democratic candidate in November. We can resolve to get behind our candidate, or we can get used to saying President McCain. The latter is not something I want to do. I’ll like it even less if we also have to say Vice President Huckabee. Speaking of Huckabee, can we get back to making fun of him now?

By all means. The best line that I have heard recently was on NPR when discussing the various campaign stops of the candidates in the lead-up to Super Tuesday: “Huckabee’s weekend itinerary reads like the datebook of a Lynard Skynard cover band.”

Roy, thanks for that, I needed a laugh today!

I don’t think I could get President McCain out of mouth without vomiting.

Anybody know the words to “Kumbaya”?
