For a backwater little state, Arkansas governors know how to wrestle around in the mud of media without getting too dirty.
Mike Huckabee was governor of Arkansas and he’s running for president. It won’t happen, but it’s always a pleasure to see Republicans wrestle around with the pigs in politics. Everybody gets dirty.
Last week Huckabee defended Rush Limbaugh’s “phony soldier” diatribe, which many of us thought was worthless drivel masquerading as free speech. Huckabee said, among other forgettable things about free speech, “it is not the business of government to infringe upon the free speech of anybody, including a talk show host.”
Uh, Mike, where were you when the Senate Republicans were condemning MoveOn.org‘s advertisement, “General Petraeus or General Betray Us?” You were awfully silent about the government’s impending role infringing free speech. Remember that?
Huckabee defends free speech as long as the speech agrees with Huckabee.
Billionaire George Soros is credited with supporting MoveOn.org and their hit piece on General Patraeus. It was a catch advertising title but not much more. So why was Huckabee slinging mud balls? Maybe that’s the only kind he has.
Still, it took some kind of intestinal fortitude to loft a mud ball at a me. Huckabee said:
Good one, Mike. Really.
If a sitting general is guilty of treason, then explain why it’s wrong to say so? If a sitting president is wrong for doing Lord knows whatever to whomever and whenever, then why is it wrong to say so?
Bill says never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig loves it. Mike, I won’t wrestle with you. You’re a pig. But if you want to know what I think, look at my hand. Yes, that’s sign language.
