Fire Sale on Campaign Furniture?
By Mitch Berg
Doug at BoGo has perhaps Bthe most salient sign that the Huckaboom is fading: Hugh Hewitt is defending him:
You had a nice run HuckaJesus, and gave He of the Immaculate Hair a heck of a (huck-of-a?) scare. But it’s obviously over for you now. You can stop the push polling and the pathetic pandering on immigration any time now. If you do perhaps we’ll remember you as the charming fellow with the quick wit and gentle demeanor, rather than the oily prick beneath the surface that act was designed to cover up.
I’m not going to diagnose what was beneath the surface; the oiliness was in the national media that tried to build him into an electoral strawman for Hillary to light on fire – and succeeded in making him a costly diversion on the GOP’s road to choosing a nominee.

Yeah, cause all those Jesus freaks who voted for Huckleberry in Iowa take their marching orders from the New York Times.
Reality misses you, Mitch.

No, bitchieclown…they’re just plain ignorant dunces. Both parties have their own fair share.

In contrast to intelligent dunces, I suppose.
Work on the redundancies, m’kay Dave? Otherwise people may think you’re an ignorant dunce.

I think ac was referring to right-wingers blaming Huck’s success on yet another bogus “liberal media conspiracy,” as opposed to the GOP’s coming-back-to-bite-them-in-the-ass pandering of evangelicals.

When, oh when will people start to ignore the MSM? When Huckabee gets great coverage, time to become immediately suspect. Well, probably in a generation: the generation after we dump government controlled education and teach children how to think, discern and reason. Most voters can’t do it now as evidenced by people who think Hillary, Obama,Mike and the like are even qualified to run a laundromat let alone the Presidency. Same people who vote in Rep. Hakim Mohammed “We Ned A Peace Department” X Ellison and Sen. Amy “If My Last Name Were Smith, Johnson or Abramowitz I’d Be Managing A Call Center In Maple Grove” Klobuchar.

Tim: Right on.
Amendment X: Get back in your bomb shelter. You’re scaring the children.

. . . as opposed to the GOP’s coming-back-to-bite-them-in-the-ass pandering of evangelicals.
When Democrat’s do it, it’s called “addressing the concerns of a core constituency”.

What?!?! I have always thought of angryclown as an intelligent dunce. 😉
