Huckabee as The Mayor

John Cole:

During Huckabee’s concession speech, it appeared to me that he is really enjoying himself, which is kind of sick. He is starting to look like the Mayor in BTVS. I mean, no one enjoys this crap. And anyone who does has to be evil. Like the mayor.

Ahhh, Mayor Richard Wilkins III from season 3 of Buffy.....

Yip. As down-home as pulled pork.

The Huckster is an exact double of the cook who discovers sea salt in a series of Campbell soup commercials. A spittin' image, I says.

Did he pull his own pork or did he have a 'ho' pull it for him?

Another vital argument for the elimination of TV.

Don't know. All I know is I must have been dreaming my entire life and woke up suddenly in Wing Nut Hell.

I bet McCain picks Huckabee as his running mate, to satisfy the god-botherers in Crazy Base World.

If you can slice his head in half and it goes back together, we've got a problem.

Perhaps he's enjoying it because he has the VP slot wired down.

The hyper-religious rightwing has made a deal with Neocan't John McCain't.

(Hucka) Jesus is coming back at 2, 4, 6 -- $10 donation.

He'll be here all week -- buy the autographed beanie for your dog.

THAT would freak the Muslims.

He can also make water 'magic,' and it cures cancer.

RE: John Cole
John Amato, i know you didn't say it, but whether or not we think he is a nut or horribly misguided calling Huckabee evil is not helpful. or anyone. I love Crooks and Liars. I read it every day, several times, but hardly ever post comments. i love the strong, funny, no BS, skirting the edge conmmentary, which i even sometimes find too charitable...to the Crooks and Liars, which they [Bush & co etc.] are.
However, EVIL suggests beyond redemption, which, well, if we let that cat in house, we can go in the same dungheap as the people we are trying to outsmart.
that being said, I hardly ever find a story i am concerned about.
you have great writing and writers, funny, witty smart, deep thinking, honesty seeking and spreading around real integrity.
that's more than enough.

i think you have great writers, smart, informed, witty contributors, big thinkers, sparating the good FROM the corrupt, using real honesty in reporting as a guide. that is more than enough.

Isn't that kind of lame, comparing Huckleberry to the 34th biggest villain of all times (according to Wizard Magazine). Maybe it's that I never got into BTVS.

Give me a real insane baddy like Gul Dukat any day.

He's not smart enough to be Gul Dukat

Wow. What a startling revelation. Didn't Carter say this in 1979. With the result being Ronald Reagan?

Bush: US must 'get off oil'

President Bush said Wednesday that the United States has to "get off oil" to reduce dependence on foreign suppliers and declared "it should be obvious" that high demand is creating painful gasoline prices.

It would be a neat trick. Maybe he can sell it as a reality/food network t.v. show. I wouldn't mind seeing Rachel Ray take her chef's knife to him.

I can just hear the Huck crowd. "We'll who in the Gosh Darn Hell does this critter think he is telling what to get on and off of !"

I thought he was winning because of divine intervention , don't tell me that was more religious BULLSHIT. How the hell did god get beat by McLame?

The Mayor had concrete goals, and evidence that his actions would help him become a demon in fact. He just wanted to be a big snake. A reasonable enemy,, unlike Huckabee.

When the Huckster turns into a giant snake, maybe he'll eat the principal (McCain?). Wow, I miss Buffy.

It was more an ode to Buffy than anything else and not meant as being all that serious...

I prefer Guilliani as Principal Snyder

You're so right. Where does the Mittster fit in, then? Maybe the whole Repub candidate crowd could be teachers?

Nerd alert!!
Who would be the principal in this little Huckster play?
I'll be Xander.

So, has Huckabee become invincible yet?

+100 for the Buffy reference. Keep those coming.

There's an opening for a new preacher in a church that was vacated by a fellow named "Ted Haggart".

At least there was no spin - it was heartfelt. Maybe I'm too naive for crooks and liars, but I kind of like to hear the warm, fuzzy truth once in awhile which you don't always get from a politician.
I like Hillary.
