Huckabee Defends Joke About Fred
(CBS)
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – Asked about Fred Thompson’s “hatchet” attack against him at Thursday's Republican debate, Mike Huckabee joked to Joe Scarborough that he thought “Fred needs some Metamucil. I think it would help a lot if he gets some. You know, he was in a bad mood last night.”
On the bus with reporters on Route 96 in Michigan from Lansing to Grand Rapids, Huckabee explained his Metamucil comment saying, “You have to understand the context of the show….It’s not quite as irreverent as Imus…not quite Stephen Colbert but it’s serious topics with an edge.”
“I really do believe if people can’t have some sense of humor as they approach this stuff, then it causes everybody to be so locked down and consultant driven that their campaigns become so boring because all they’re going to do is give this robotic answer to everything that’s very carefully scripted. I promise you, you won’t have moments like this,” Huckabee said, gesturing to the handful of reporters that had gathered around him for an on-the-record conversation that would last about 40 minutes.
“Does Romney do these?” Huckabee asked the reporters. No, replied one. Neither does Thompson, said another.
“If I thought I couldn’t be a human being. That I gotta wait till six handlers tell me what I can and can’t say and I have to read it, you know, it’s not worth it.”
Mike Huckabee is moving quickly to the top nationally for the GOP. He has said nice things about John McCain, all true. Mike Huckabee respects John McCain and McCain knows this. So, rather than McCain attack Mike, he has Fred Thompson do it and Thompson''s attack in the debate was totally baseless and without merit. As far as Romney is concerned, he is still hurting from Iowa and doesn''t want to appear revengeful, but he is and he will continue to let Fred do his bidding.
Its all politics as usual, but, Mike will rise above it and still become the Republican nominee.
I don''t see a better choice than Huckabee. And I like the fact that he is HIMSELF and can freely talk to the press without all the "handlers" checking everything he says. Mike Huckabee is one of us.
America%u2019s only choice for President is clear. Don%u2019t be suckered in by the elite media%u2019s propaganda. Tens of millions of dollars was donated by Wall Street to purchase the White House in this election. Some candidates are just too old or too liberal to win. Please remember, the rest of the country is waiting and depending on you (Michigan & South Carolina) to give us the opportunity to elect Huckabee and say no to big government, Wall Street, and the elite media. Those Americans who never had a set at the table, who don%u2019t have the big money or a voice in this election are waiting to cast their vote for Mike Huckabee. Please provide America%u2019s true conservatives the opportunity to vote with you and elect Mike Huckabee President. No more Presidents from Camelot!
