When I saw this post by Taegan, I didn’t care all that much about the poll, but seeing all their names in a row cracked me right up:

A new Public Policy Polling survey shows four Republicans essentially tied in a 2012 Republican presidential primary match up: Mike Huckabee at 23%, Mitt Romney at 22%, Sarah Palin at 21% and Newt Gingrich at 21%.

The GOTP’s “leaders” are named Huck, Mitt, Newt, and… Former Half-Gov Dolta McLaughingStock. It’s hard to take these jokers seriously.

At times, he seems unable to resist the force of his own funniness. I joked with him once that I would write about his (fictitious) affair with Nancy Pelosi. He e-mailed back, “The only thing worse than a torrid affair with sweet, sweet Nancy would be a torrid affair with Helen Thomas. If those were my only options, I’d probably be FOR same-sex marriage!”

What a charming man. I’m sure he gets way better offers than Nancy & Helen.Via Dave.

ClusterHuck:

In discussing same-sex marriage, the Perspective reported, Huckabee said, “You don’t go ahead and accommodate every behavioral pattern that is against the ideal. That would be like saying, well, there are a lot of people who like to use drugs, so let’s go ahead and accommodate those who want who use drugs. There are some people who believe in incest, so we should accommodate them. There are people who believe in polygamy, so we should accommodate them.”

There are some people who believe in bigotry, so should we accommodate them? No. Including Mike Huckabee.

Can we talk about ClusterHuck’s record for a minute?

This is the same ordained Southern Baptist minister who joked about torturing the underpants bomber.

And who commuted the suspected Washington shooter’s sentence years ago.

This from the fine soul who said, under President Obama’s health care reform bill, Ted Kennedy would be told to “go home to take pain pills and die.“

And endorses Rubio.

And called Judge Sonia Sotomayor “Maria”.

This is who Mike Huckabee is. So when he makes despicable statements like the ones above, put it into context.

When you step back and look at the entire picture of what this small-minded stain of a man represents, I don’t think this is anyone we would want to accommodate in any way whatsoever.

The explanation of this clip on YouTube is “Is the Obama administration distancing itself from religion? Mike Huckabee responds.” What a pile of poop.

Who would have thought that a fearmongering fundie like Huckabee would be on the outs with the Republican establishment.

Washington (CNN) – Following his disappointing sixth place finish in this weekend’s Conservative Political Action Conference presidential straw poll, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee criticized the conference as increasingly irrelevant to the conservative movement and accused its organizers of conducting a “pay for play” event.

Huckabee, who has never fared well in the poll, said the results did not surprise him. “CPAC has has become increasingly libertarian and less Republican over the last years, one of the reasons I didn’t go this year,” he said Saturday on Fox News, where is a paid contributor.

The 2008 GOP presidential candidate said the “truly grassroots” energy on the right lies in Tea Party movement.

“Where CPAC was historically the event, the Tea Parties now are having their own events all over the country and a lot more truly grassroots people are getting involved because of the Tea Parties,” Huckabee argued.

He added: “Because of the way that [CPAC] solicits sponsors it has almost become a pay-for-play. It’s almost like, who will pay money to be able to be a sponsor and get time on the program. It’s one of the things that has hurt it’s credibility in recent years.”

The only people who are going to be surprised are asshats like ya’ll.

Wonder if Mikey will come clean on exactly how he dropped all those lbs?

Washington Whispers reports First Lady Michelle Obama will be interviewed on Fox News Channel this weekend on Mike Huckabee‘s show. The two will talk about Mrs. Obama’s anti-obesity campaign. Huckabee, the former republican governor of Arkansas, lost more than 100 pounds and wrote about it in Quit Digging Your Grave With a Knife and Fork.

They’ve been lying thru their teeth up to now, what difference is a couple more fingers added to the scale?

Now I checked my bible and didn’t find a thing advocating torture by Christians, but then again it’s been done before in Jesus’s name… Via Newshounds.
