Mike Huckabee is Smoking the Dope Again
Poor Mike Huckabee. Seriously, you gotta feel sorry for a guy who never gets anything right. Ever. I mean, you’d think a guy with a direct line to God would get some heads-up every now and then. My theory is that he’s yakking so much he never hears anything.
And he remains totally convinced that President Obama is evil personified.
On his radio show on Monday, Mike Huckabee predicted that President Obama will not complete his second term due to the administration’s handling of the attack on the U.S. consulate Benghazi. Comparing it to Watergate, Huckabee asserted the Benghazi “cover-up” is “more serious.”
But, Huckabee warns, if Democrats gain control of the House in 2014, Obama will stay in office. Which is why, of course, you should send some money, lotsa money, to HuckPAC.
Now couple this dire warning with the news today that Huckabee’s radio show may be cancelled. He explains …
“I’ve got to always weigh how much time I’m putting in it and what the return is. How long it will take to make it what I call hopefully disgustingly profitable. That’s what one always hopes for in a deal like this.”
“Disgustingly profitable.” I’m kinda proud that he admits that’s his purpose. Not many Baptist preacher / political hacks will admit that’s their goal. Just to make loads of money.
Maybe with Limbaugh fading fast, Huckabee thinks he can be the big buck at the lick. However, at this point, he’s disgustingly profitable without the profitable part.
Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
So it is his hope to be disgusting? Good news, Huckie–you’re already there.
The good news are that the Repubs are still zeroing in on Benghazi, which I think will be a swell issue for them in the next election. Right up there with voucherizing Medicare.
1Old Huck should probably re-read his favorite book before getting so excited about “what I call hopefully disgustingly profitable.”
What do they call it when you worship mammon over Jesus’ message?
2Very rarely can you talk, and listen, at the same time.
Huckabee’s always talking.
He’s never listening.
Consequently, he doesn’t learn much.
He thinks calling himself a “Preacher”, and going to church, makes him a Christian.
He also thinks if he sleeps in his garage, he will turn into a car.
He’s just not the brightest bulb in the lamp post.
3How is it that the Rs can ignore the FIVE attacks on Embassies that occurred under shrub, with FAR greater loss of life, but none were the ambassador.
4Oh give me that Prime Time Religion, give me that prime time religion, give me that prime time religion, it’s good enough for me.
5If it’s good enough for Tammy Faye, if its good enough for Tammy Faye, if it’s good enough for Tammy Faye, then it’s good enough for me.
Oh send you money to the Lord, send your money to the Lord, send your money to the Lord and here is my address.
Huckabee is a-hopin’ and a-prayin’ that the Repugs can make something out of nothing, a conspiracy witch hunt which will only reinforce their
6own gult for underfunding embassy security. Watergate my tush!
Bless his heart.
7HuckPac. Couldn’t they find a less disgusting name? It sounds like someone clearing their throat.
8Kate–that’s nicer than what I was thinking, although it’s directionally similar…
9I just recently watched a retrospective by Robert Redford of All the President’s Men, and then last night watched the movie itself. I’ve read many accounts since first seeing the movie, even Bob Haldemann’s and I gotta say NOTHING is like Watergate. But we’re getting close to it again.
With all of the scads of loose cash floating around, lots of people are making lots of money circumventing, flouting, weakening, repealing, challenging and flat out ignoring all the post-Watergate laws put in place for political cash.
The archetype that survived and flourished after the scandal is the Bebe Rebozo bag man, funneling Howard Hughes’ cash wherever needed.
Instead of a safe at CREEP, we have a bunch of creeps with a lot of drop boxes, called PACs, super and otherwise.
Dirty tricks, aka “ratf—ing,” have grown by leaps and bounds, and in fact now have their own media outlets. The late, unlamented Breitbart and his little catch-fart James O’Keefe are but the easiest examples to call to mind.
Too many… FAR too many… young people I know today have no idea WHAT Watergate was, WHY it was important and how, like the Civil War, it has never really ended.
One example: When the Special Prosecutor started demanding the secret tapes, Nixon had to fire the AG and his top deputy until he found someone who would do the dirty work of firing the special prosecutor. That lackey was Robert Bork. When Reagan nominated Bork for the Supreme Court in ’87, the Democrats, and most thinking Americans, went NUTS. Gregory Peck even narrated an anti-Bork commercial!
IMHO, I believe that this was the beginning of the end, the point of no return, for Congressional civility. I think the GOP began retaliating after that, and Watergate, Iran-Contra, Bork and Thomas all led to the Clinton impeachment, as revenge.
…and to today.
Folks like Huckabee, especially that car-thief-cum-arsonist Issa, are trying to make this, AND EVERYTHING, a Watergate, for two reasons: first, to continue to try to squirm out from under the shadow of that corruption, even as they wallow in it. Second, to try to cast that shadow over the Democrats.
10I have hucpac so bad that my wife made me move into the spare bedroom.
11My VA doctor gave me a Z-PAC for my HUCPAC.
Disgustingly pathetic=Huckabee
12@daChipster: You make me want to put a unit on Watergate is my classes. But since I teach fashion merchandising I’m not sure how I can connect it to the curriculum. But I might just do it anyway since part of our mission in higher education is to produce students who are better citizens – or have the tools they need to become better citizens.
13If anyone has any ideas how to connect the two – let me know!
He signed himself off of the Good People List when he cozied up to Ted Nugent and the porn he spews out of his mouth. Could not believe it when I was channel surfing and saw him playing back up guitar to Nugent while Nugent was scatologizing all over the place!
PS – Huck, look that one up in the dictionary!
14I think that Huckleberry is wrong about President Obama not completing his 2nd Term, but I have no doubt that the Republican controlled House of Representatives will, at the very least, attempt to bring impeachment charges against him.
Please look at all the crazy things this group of idiots have done over the past 2+ years.
15Speaking of yakking to God, when I was a women’s clinic escort many of the protesters prayed loudly and constantly. One day I asked one of them, “Have you ever thought about just being quiet for awhile and listening? Maybe God has something to tell you.”
An expression of fear crossed her face as she replied, “That’s the way the demons come in.”
Quakers they weren’t.
16daChipster: I’ve always like “lickspittle” for disgusting little creeps like James O’Keefe, but “catch-fart,” well, that’s my new descriptor. Thanks. As for Huck-a-buck, he’s going to face judgement some day, from a far sterner judge than any we have on earth.
17According to the story the President ignored clear and present warnings and left a US facility unguarded. A bomber was able to penetrate security and 242 Marines died.
Oh wait, that wasn’t Libya, it was Lebanon, and Saint Ronnie Reagan was at the helm. My bad, let’s forget all about it.
18Perhaps the problem is that Huckabee doesn’t smoke enough dope. It might mellow him out long enough for his doctor’s to remove that large stick.
19Jan: isn’t there a line of watches and apparel called “Nixon?” And aren’t they from California? And isn’t some of their stuff made in China? And wasn’t there a fellow from California named Nixon who went to China which eventually resulted in opening of trade?
What ever happened to that guy, “Nixon?” Why did he quit being President? To make watches?
Actually, a unit on how a successful brand could be launched with such a name that would seem to be a detriment would be a PERFECT opportunity to educate them on why the name was bad, and teach them how merchandising overcame it.
Next: Naming something “Hitler”… STILL a bad idea.
20Some good ideas! I’m teaching an intro course in the fall and we do talk global. That means I have to really study up on Watergate. When I saw the movie dozens of years ago I had a hard time keeping up with the “plot” line. But what I do best is study!
21Thanks!!
Au contrare, oh blue bottomed one, if Mike Huckabee smoked pot he’d be much more reasonable, maybe even capable of those liberalish things known as reflection and introspection. Or not.
22I’m really, really tired of Benghazi being used to make political points on the deaths of Americans. Some facts about attacks on our embassies. G.W. Bush terms – 9 attacks 57 deaths. Obama’s terms – 7 attacks 6 deaths. Who the hell wasn’t doing their job? 26 of those deaths were in 2008 – I do not recall political hay being made of American deaths in an election year – do you? I also do not understand why those facts are not being used by the dems.
23Issa, the con-man, criminal (see daChipster: arsonist, car-thief) is the proverbial fox presiding over the State Department hen house. What a desperate, hypocritical show to satisfy the Repugs urge for revenge after Watergate. They can’t get no satisfaction.

25Thanks for capsuling a particularly difficult time. One of my brothers was enroute by airplane to my house in Texas for some event or another. When he didnt show we brothers got on phones and backtracking him. We found him in a warehouse building a battalion landing team from scratch, along with every captain and lite colonel not doing something else. Al Gray was the colonel then and CMC later. My bro said when someone told him to do this he asked how much BLT stuff will I need to take. They told him “All of it.” Such an incalculable criminal loss.
Honey, ‘pears to me he may have graduated to the hash brownies with the coke dusting. Poor twisted lil’ thang.
