Huckabee puts Coulter on the spot, but still kisses her spiked heel
By David Neiwert Monday Jan 12, 2009 7:45am
Have you seen Mike Huckabee's weekly show on Fox yet? If you haven't, you needn't bother; it's mostly a painful exercise in talk-show amateurism. It has the feel of a local-studio talk show minus the clown used-car salesman.
Last night we instead got the clown wingnut, Ann Coulter. It actually was a highly amusing exchange, in large part because Coulter had said so many cruel things about Huckabee during the campaign and he replayed several of them. It was worth it just to see Coulter squirm at having her phoniness on such brilliant display.
In particular it was worth it to see a conservative finally notice that Coulter has a problem with keeping her facts straight. In truth, this is something that other people have noticed before. Unfortunately, the extent of Huckabee's awareness of Coulter's afactuality reached only to her reportage on him; otherwise, he thoroughly commended her new book as a fine piece of research, even though it too is so error-riddled that it would be an embarrassment to anyone besides a peroxidized right-wing hustler.
But there was also a revealing exchange midway through it all that made clear that Huckabee was actually trying desperately to earn Coulter's approval:
Huckabee: But let me mention a couple of the -- You said that I am against school choice. I am not. You said I was bad on immigration, and yet it was Jim Gilchrist of the Minutemen who endorsed me and traveled with me.
Coulter: You did say that you think illegal immigration is our chance to make up for slavery in America.
Huckabee: Not illegal immigration. I did not say that. What I said was that the manner in which we treat people is a way in which we can show our civility and a compassion in a way that we did not show --
Coulter: And I think you wanted in-state tuition for illegals.
Huckabee: No, here's what I wanted. I wanted for kids in my state who have met --
Coulter: [Giggles] Are you running again? Because you're clarifying a lot of points for me.
Huckabee: Well, I want to clarify, because -- here's the deal. If I ever do run again, I want, Ann --
Coulter: You'll run more as a conservative.
Huckabee: No, I'll run as I am, which is a conservative, because that's what I've always been. But I want to make sure that the next time you write about me, we get all this stuff straight.
Coulter: Ye-e-e-e-s, well, a little more conservative and you would've had my vote.
Of course. Because the essence of being a right-wing politician these days is to earn the Blessing of the Brownshirt Barbie. One can't expect to win as a Republican, evidently, unless you pass the Ann Coulter Wingnut Ideological Purity Examination (which indeed has a family resemblance to a colonoscopy).
But notice the issues she's making him scramble to curry her favor on -- especially immigration. Huckabee even touts his endorsement by Jim Gilchrist of the Minutemen -- who has since then been largely exposed as a scam artist -- as evidence of his tough stance on illegal immigration.
Indeed, I think we can count on a hard nativist-style stance on immigration to be one of the signature positions of the brand of conservatism that will emerge from the ashes of 2008. We keep hearing conservatives tell themselves that the reason they lost last year was that they weren't "true to conservative values," and this will be one of the issues that they will use to define "true conservatives" (as Coulter does here).
We can only say: Please. Make our day. Far be it from us to stop you, O denizens of wingnuttia.

clip no workie. which is probably a blessing.
Dang! Fixed now.
ann's back in her black cocktail dress?
I can see the one on Coulter.
Jeeze, wouldja cover up, already?!
Ecccch.
Compared to ann, Eva Braun was cheesecake.
Yes, she was. From all I've read, Eva was rather quiet, rather compliant, and very dependent on Adolph, waited for his every beck and call.
Ann's more like Ilse Koch.
I wouldn't have thought of Ilse except for the memory of Ann Coulter's bloodthirsty remark about Iraqis: "we should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."
She is really trailer-trash.
""we should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."
I'm sure that comment was played far and wide in the middle east to help drum up terrorist recruits to attack us again. Ann Queda is doing the terrorist's bidding. Ann Queda would love nothing more than for America to attacked again and for Americans to get killed so she can sell more books. A bloodsucking opportunist.

THAT's what you're calling it these days? (Okay with me, I got it!)
There's one other blonde wingnut, who's name I've forgotten and it's probably just as well, who seemed to say things off the top of her head, and she always wore miniskirts too, but she was chunky as all get out.
She used to appear on Politically Incorrect too.
That would most likely be Debbie Schlussel. And I know what you mean re: her chunkitude; the dress she was wearing one night on PI was tighter than any sausage casing I've ever seen, and with a figure such as hers that was not a pleasant sight.
Are those Ann Queda's legs or two broomsticks?
He was an embarrassment as Governor, and keeps on truckin'. Double Douchebag alert.
I registered just to post this comment. I have lurked here for years now, and really enjoy the site. But I am tired of the links to videos not working. Seriously, this issue has been like this for a long time. I come here to watch these clips as I can't catch any of this on TV.
Surely this is an easy issue to resolve?
I wonder how hard it would be to test the clip when the thread is first put up? Seems someone has to post a comment about it not working before it's fixed.
A lot of times (as in this case) I make these late at night and don't always have the ability to test (it often takes the servers awhile to process the clips). Sorry about screwing this one up. It should work now.
They don't load on my computer, either, not in QuckTime OR Windows Media, though both work from my computer on other sites. I can see the ones that don't open in another screen, that play in the post itself. One day I worked for five or six hours trying to resolve this problem and finally gave up. No suggestions fixed it!
John, could you ALSO post a link directly to the clips in addition to embedding them in posts? That would help.
Those download links should let you download them in general.... Although this post's videos don't appear to be on the server (or at least aren't linked to properly).
No, they still don't work. My computer gets stuck on the counter, or that's what shows at the bottom loading window -- it just stops working. I've tried with FIVE different browsers, still can't get them to run.
Baby Jesus in intervening. He doesn't want you to hear anything Mike Huckabee or Ann Queda has to say. Baby Jesus knows what he's doing.
In preventing that Huckabee/Coulter interview from loading, Baby Jesus obviously wants me to be nicer. If I don't see it, I don't get as riled up or foul-mouthed... Just as well, for the main part.
A miracle isn't the act itself, but rather the timing of the act...
Thank you Baby Jesus.
There was an ad in yesterday's NY Times arts section for a speaker series at Radio City Music Hall. It's a rogue's gallery of criminals and propagandists, featuring the likes of Ann Coulter, Alberto Gonzales, Karl Rove, and others.
We're in for decades of revisionists and apologists for the Bush catastrophe, and they're getting a kick-start from Citi Bank and Radio City. Despicable. Shame on anyone who buys a ticket.
Perhaps it's a set up. Once all these criminals are in RCMH the police will sweep in for a mass arrest. Traitor Turdblossom should be the first one frog marched out in chains.
Coulter: Ye-e-e-e-s, well, a little more conservative and you would've had my vote.
And just where would you cast that vote, you harpy skank? Bite me! No. Don't.
(Scott Horton) "First-year Detective Kristine Villa in December was assigned the job of investigating whether Coulter committed a felony in February 2006, when she cast her ballot in the wrong precinct in a Palm Beach election after registering to an address that wasn’t hers.Villa’s report leaves the clear impression that Coulter’s attorney, Miami’s Marcos Jimenez, stonewalled Villa for five months—at times agreeing to make Coulter available, at others reneging, often not returning calls promptly or claiming not to be able to reach his client."
Also...
(Crooks and Liars yesterday) "The New York Daily News reports that Coulter voted there via absentee ballot in 2002 and 2004 while records show she actually lived in New York City."
Ann who? Mike who?
Not one bit interested in what either of these people have to say about anything. To me they are yesterday's trash. They can keep talking all they want, but I can also ignore them forever.
Here is wisdom.
Yes they lost because they were not conservative enough. Yeah that's the ticket.

That takes me back.
When I was in the eighth grade, I wanted one of those...
If Huckleberry feels he has to get Coulter's appearance or approval to validate his program message---man, are they in deep shit. They should be weeping for their future---but being a Neocon apparently means never having to say you're sorry even when you are the sorriest political organization ever. Why these losers enable this bizarre circus freak or even think she has a palatable message is hard to understand, unless you are a bizzaro Neocon, I guess.
Can't Huckabee find a real job?
I think its a safe bet that we can ad "The Mike Huckabee Show" to the pile of conservative failures. I give the show 3 months before it's yanked.
Will he regularly trip over the ottoman?
He could go back to conducting tent-revivals -- that would make a lot of people happy.
could sacrifice dogs on the alter.

Yeah, I've seen bits and pieces of Huckabee's show....yes, it is quite painful to watch.
I did see about 5 minutes of Coulter last night.....that skank is so hard to watch. I cannot stand her "giggles".....it's as if she purposely is trying to cover up her viciousness. I liked how Huckabee went on a bit about how he doesn't like sodomy.....I mean, who talks about this as an issue???? He went on about it 2 or 3 times.....guess it's the religious nut in him.
I sent Huckabee an email chastising him for even having the witch on his show. She's been on several programs this past week, and every time I see her, she very strongly asks the interviewer to mention, to promote her book. She'll never get me to buy, much less read, her putrid screed.
"I liked how Huckabee went on a bit about how he doesn't like sodomy.....I mean, who talks about this as an issue???? He went on about it 2 or 3 times.....guess it's the religious nut in him."
If he really didn't like sodomy she shouldn't have any religious nuts in him.
Hilarious!!!!!!
The Huckster with religious nuts in him!!!!!!
offering to sodomize Huck?

Since the video doesn't work I'll post this link of Bush's final press confernce which can best be summed up as "Soon you want have Chimp to kick around anymore" http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/01/12/bush...
They should have hung a "Nothing Accomplished" banner behind him.
I watched it when it happened. He tossed the whole financial mess over in Obama's lap when he said he wouldn't ask congress for the rest of the money unless Obama asked him to. But when he talked about his response to Katrina I was just shaking my head in disgust. All he thought about was his decision not to land his plane there. As if that was the only thing he might have gotten wrong. The he talked about the helicopter "drivers". I would think a pilot would know to call them helicopter pilots instead of drivers.
Several weeks ago I watched about 15 minutes of the Huckabee show. His audience reminded me of the audiences in those infomercials. They seemed laugh and clap right on cue. It was strange.
Did you watch it with a bowl of freshly popped squirrel?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yj3QAzSWVA4
pretty damn good.
She reminds me of a four year old that has just dumped a load in her pants and is looking around with that special little smile to see who notices the stink.
Brown spots on the Great Wall.
and Huckster might have gotten her vote.
Would that be her New York vote, her Florida vote, or her Connecticut vote?
well played, sir or madam.
Is it a coinkidink that the acronym for
Coultergeist's test of conservatism is WIPE,
as in AC WIPE????
I think not!
I noticed the same thing and I'm pronouncing it ASSWIPE.
Ann Coulter is appearing on The View any moment now. I will watch just to see her against the women. Whoopi already has had some things to say.
If the Fox News Channel ever revives their failed "Daily Show" knock-off, they should have Coulter and the Huckster on to re-enact the famous leg-crossing scene from "Basic Instinct"!
Which one would play Sharon Stone?
"Ye-e-e-e-s, well, a little more conservative and you would've had my vote."
Translation: "You actually talked about helping the poor during your campaign. Don't do that anymore".
Coulter: Ye-e-e-e-s, well, a little more conservative and you would've had my vote.
Remind me, why should anyone take campaign advice from this harpy? Has she been elected to anything? I think her negatives are probably higher than David Duke's.
there is huck's problem
he has never had a good bj
shoulda asked coulter to help him with that
Huckabee promotes this tax to replace our Federal income tax system. There is nothing Fair about the Fair TAX system.
1.) It will reduce Federal Government jobs! That is true; it will increase State Government jobs because each state would be required to add jobs to handle the case load of tracking every purchase we make.
2.) It would eliminate Tax Refunds? It would require each state to REBATE taxes monthly to almost everyone living in the state. Rebate, isn't that a Refund? How many people would be needed to accomplish that? What if while on vacation you went out of state; Would that State send you a Rebate? Who would track out of state purchases and rebates?
3.) "Sales TAXES" on everything bought NEW! You can refurnish your home with million dollar Antiques TAX FREE. That New $300 Sofa and love seat combo or bedroom suit is TAXED. Who can afford expensive Antiques? You can purchase your used clothes wardrobe from Goodwill and the Salvation Army Tax FREE.
4.) It will not replace State and local Sales Taxes.
5.) There are no Taxes on Income, money invested, or profits on investment income. The rich who have money to invest get richer and working stiffs who can't afford to invest will spend the greater part of their income to purchase food, clothes, and home furnishings etc ALMOST ALL OF WHICH IS TAXED.
6.) The Tax would be 23% or greater on everything from food, medicine, Rent etc to tickets to visit Federal Parks.
The people pushing this tax system are loading the greater percentage of almost all the burden of government working capital through Taxation on to middle and lower income Americans.
Obviously, the term "compassionate" means something entirely different in the GOP newspeak that it does in the Queen's English. I assume Huckabee's definition of "fair" does differ significantly from the accepted definition among English speakers.
One of these days one of these idiots is going to let a "doubleplusgood" slip by...
He is stupid! let her promote her book helped her saying it was an excellant read what crap.
He is just another in a long line of over paid card readers he cannot be trusted.
It is the reason he didn't make it as a presidential candidate, to much snake oil salesman him.
To much republican and the republican motto what can I do to help me. Should be tattooed on everyone of their foreheads. It could be their signs!
Wouldn't that be the mark of the anti-christ?
