Huckabee Too Busy Keeping Up With ‘Britney’ Gossip To Follow Foreign Policy
Huckabee Too Busy Keeping Up With ‘Britney’ Gossip To Follow Foreign Policy
In an interview with the Quad-City Times yesterday, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee tried to make excuses for his lack of foreign policy knowledge and his ignorance on the most recent National Intelligence Estimate on Iran. He compared the NIE to gossip about Britney Spears, saying he just can’t “keep up with every single thing“:
The point I’m trying to make is that, on the campaign trail, nobody’s going to be able, if they’ve been campaigning as hard as we have been, to keep up with every single thing, from what happened to Britney last night to who won “Dancing with the Stars.”
Presumably, presidential candidates are supposed to keep track of foreign policy developments more closely than celebrity gossip. But when asked about the NIE on Dec. 4 — a day after the report was released — Huckabee said he wasn’t even aware of it. Days later, Huckabee defended his gaffe by misrepresenting the timeline of his mistake, quipping that the “report was released at 10:00 in the morning, the president hadn’t seen it in four years and I’m supposed to see it four hours later.”
In fact, despite his lament that he is too busy to follow with current events, Huckabee seems to have had no trouble following the events of Britney Spears and her family. When asked on Dec. 20 about the pregnancy of Britney’s sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, Huckabee had no trouble in quickly giving a response:
It’s a tragedy when a 16-year-old who is not really prepared for all the responsibilities of adult life is going to be now faced with all the responsibilities of honest-to-goodness adult life. I respect it.
Apparently, she’s going to have the child and I think that is the right decision, a good decision, and I respect that and appreciate it. I hope it is not an encouragement to other 16-year-olds who think that is the best course of action.
Oops, he did it again.

It doesn’t take much of a stretch to read Huck’s remark as equating foreign policy with Britney gossip.
This is a man that a substantial number of Republicans want to win the presidency?
I guess they’ve really enjoyed the last seven years.
January 1st, 2008 at 6:19 pmDo the HuckleCluck in two thousand oh eight and be a blithering idiot… Sounds perfect for the Know Nothing Party, which seems to be reviving after its collapse about a century and a half ago.
January 1st, 2008 at 6:24 pmRepublican’s should be real happy with this guy. He’s an uninformed moron…just like Bush.
January 1st, 2008 at 6:26 pmAnd they want this bozo to have the’football’ (nuke arming device)?
January 1st, 2008 at 6:27 pmThe Know Nothing political movement in the 1850s (according to dear wikipedia) gave most of its support to the new Republican Party, which nominated Abraham Lincoln in 1860. Now some one hundred and forty seven years later, the Repubicans are giving rise to Know Nothings… Ironic?

January 1st, 2008 at 6:32 pmMore frightening and disheartening than Huckaboob alone is the choice between him and Ghouliani, the ghoul trying to climb to the White House over the graves of the people killed on 9/11. If he gets the nod, I’d seriously have to consider voting for the Enabler in Chief, Hillary Clinton.
January 1st, 2008 at 6:33 pmNow I’m really concerned about that leftover donut at Huckabee’s campaign headquarters beating him in the in the next election.
January 1st, 2008 at 6:42 pmIt’s a shame the Huckster can’t keep up. Sorta sounds like the idiot dolt we now have in the WH who is protected by hordes of enablers and other deflectors and protectors. We don’t need another.

January 1st, 2008 at 6:48 pmLOL….best one yet.
If he can’t keep up today, being a simple Presidential wannabe, what makes us think that he will keep up being President, when information will flow far more quickly, stressful situations will emerge, and instant decissions must be made?

Good point, Grover. maybe it’s not so much that Huck has no respect for foreign policy expertise, more that he just doesn’t understand how language and syntax work.
Of course, THAT doesn’t do much to distinguish him from the current POTUS, either.

January 1st, 2008 at 7:41 pmThe irony here is that while an applicant’s knowledge is examined for even a secretary’s job in any company, the people who are running for the highest office in the land,the Presidency, never were tested to see what they know about local and foreign affairs…
The majority of them will not even pass a simple test in geography, modern or ancient history.
Any wonder why our foreign policies in the Middle East, Latin America and many other places around the globe are nothing but failure.
It is because the people who run these policies never were tested. They run these policies as OJT ‘On The Job Training’.
Huckabee is trying to cash on religion,gays and lesbians,and empty patriotism issues to pave his way to the presidency.
We don’t know what he knows about this wrold,foreign affairs,and wide range of international issues.
The issue of ‘what a candidate knows’ is neither a Republican or Democratic issue,but rather an American one.
January 1st, 2008 at 7:44 pmFailure in this area can be very costly to America, in lives and dollars,as past experiences taught us.

Just remember, to a rethug, sex is a sin (unless it’s them having it with prostitutes or underage male pages - oh wait, Huck espouses the marriage only (thus far) route, my bad - but national security is just too much damned work. It’s much easier to f()k and s()k than to actually do those little presidential (nee, elected official) thingies - like READING intelligence reports, daily briefings, and all those other thingies that they have others to do for them. Oh wait, there was My Pet Goat.
January 1st, 2008 at 8:11 pmHuck said the reason it took him over a day to hear about the Iran NIE (it was all over every media) was that he could not afford a huge team of advisors!
The mother of Jamie Lynn and Britney is now delaying the release of her book on parenting (no joke). She is shocked that the “abstinence-only approach” didn’t work!

January 1st, 2008 at 8:18 pmThe only reason Huckabee “respects her decision” is because he agrees with what she decided. He has stated quite clearly that she should NOT have had any decision to make, but rather the State should make that decision for her. True respect is what you give to those you DON’T agree with. Respecting those you agree with is not exactly the kind of moral fortitude that I think we need in a POTUS.
January 1st, 2008 at 8:18 pmHuckabee: I must confess…

You’re right. If people like Huckabee ran the country, there would be no decision for people to make—-politicians would say that abortion is illegal.
Instead of a woman and her doctor making the decision, it would be a politician/exterminator like Tom DeLay.

January 1st, 2008 at 8:34 pmKeith, I would bet my bottom dollar that they wrote it out for him phonetically. He’s not so good using words with more than one syllable and I think it had a couple of those.
And I am sure there were the nights kept awake studying that phonetic briefing. It was a big day for him. He was so overwhelmed with the reading and what happened on 9/11 he had to disappear for a day or so (I forgot…anyone know the exact number of hours Bush was MIA after 9/11? I think it was at least 18 but no more than 30. Anyone got that number out there?)
The thought that Huckleberry hound is even getting ANY percentages in GOP primaries is an embarrassment for our country. But then again…how many in our country need that phonetic rendition of My Pet Goat (wait, rendition is for another discussion! Nevermind. :-)

All our times have come
Here but now they’re gone
Seasons don’t fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain
We can be like they are
Come on baby… Don’t fear the Reaper
Baby take my hand… Don’t fear the Reaper
We’ll be able to fly… Don’t fear the Reaper
Baby I’m your man…
Valentine is done
Here but now they’re gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity…
Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday… Like Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday… Redefine happiness
Another 40,000 coming everyday…We can be like they are
Come on baby… Don’t fear the Reaper
Baby take my hand… Don’t fear the Reaper
We’ll be able to fly… Don’t fear the Reaper
Baby I’m your man…
Love of two is one
Here but now they’re gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn’t go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared
Saying don’t be afraid
Come on baby… And she had no fear
And she ran to him… Then they started to fly
They looked backward and said goodbye
She had become like they are
She had taken his hand
She had become like they are
Come on baby…don’t fear the reaper

Wish I could hit recommend multiple times on your post.
What is it with the repubs who run for presidents but don’t show any interest in world affairs ? #13 from Repubs are the Smear… remind us of when Shrub couldn’t name any of the world leaders. As I remember it, Shrub also said that he wasn’t interested in reading or learning about “policy” (after all, what does a prez have to do with govt policy ??)
Now with the war being a big issue, Huck doesn’t know about the NIE ? Perhaps a politician with the slightest interest could have someone follow the news and abstract it for them, perhaps hold a daily briefing ?

Try to read the whole sentence, Rodan, and don’t skip over the hard words………
He’s also a religious-right nut job with a demonstrated penchant for setting jailed serial rape-murderers free to rape and kill again. The fact that he did this is all the more damning as he did as an act of political retribution against Bill Clinton.
Furthermore, Huck had his intestines operated on so that he would lose weight, lied about it by attributing his weight loss to self-control and endurance, and then criticizes others when they lack the ’self-control’ to stop their own bad/dangerous habits.
And finally, in addition to all of the preceding, he is a conservative Republican - and they’re not liked much here, anyway.
So, Rodent, why don’t you just STFU and vote for this moron? Why post here?

All governors were asked to name their favorite childhood books in a nation-wide survey. Curiously (or perhaps not), Jeb Bush named “Curious George” as one of his favorites. Perhaps symptomatic of a subconscious longing for a wished-for aspect of his childhood that never materialized?
No wonder he seemed so much at home reading “My Pet Goat” on 9/11.

I wasn’t there.
As his former obese state was probably caused by repressed sexuality, it was either keep eating, get a gastric bypass, or spend 8 hours a day jerking off to pictures of Larry Craig.
That’s just my opinion, folks - but I’ll bet it’s true.

OMG, that’s horrifying and cruel. It would have been more merciful to shoot the poor thing.
You know what is so interesting? You know how we had this horrible feeling about Chimpy, but learned the awful truth after he was president?
Not that I think Hucker will be prez, of course.
Well, all this stuff has come out before Hucker is even close to the nomination — imagine what horrible secrets he’s still holding on to.
**shudder**
January 1st, 2008 at 9:55 pmHey, I feel confronted. Anyone else?

Not in the least. Even if I were any of the things the “new” troll says. Besides which, I don’t bother confronting people who are compelled to proclaim their IQ. Especially when it’s “75″. No challenge at all.

I thank you gigi!!!
January 1st, 2008 at 10:05 pmHuckabee is anti-Globalists and anti-Free Trade.
Yet you eftists attack him.
You guys are pathetic!
Comment by Rodan75
I haven’t attacked anyone and from what I have read on Huckabee he has no real foreign policy, so I dont know that he is against globalism or free trade.

January 1st, 2008 at 10:17 pmIs anyone here a “leftist”? Has anyone ever, even, met a “leftist”? Personally, I don’t think there’s been a real “leftist”, in this country, since Nixon proved idealism can’t stop bullets.

January 1st, 2008 at 10:22 pmIs anyone here a “leftist� -Pete
Rodan seems to equate being left of right ideology with cold war communism. Which is odd because, in reality, the muslims didnt care for the communists at all.
January 1st, 2008 at 10:22 pmLost in the pundits’ pondering over Mike Huckabee’s scam to show - and then not air - an attack ad against Mitt Romney is the former Arkansas Governor’s apparent bloodlust. As Steve Benen and Michael Crowley note, Huckabee’s spot takes Romney to task for a record in Massachusetts that included “no executions.” In extolling the joys of the death penalty, Huckabee is following in the proud tradition of George W. Bush.
For the details, see:
January 1st, 2008 at 10:23 pm“Huckabee Echoes Bush in Killer Ad.”
He’s an Islamist.
Comment by Rodan75 — January 1, 2008 @ 10:26 pm
You’re an Islamist too, Joker.
Did you know that every time you think, speak or write the word Islam, a martyr gets his wings?

You’re a P.O.S!
Comment by Rodan75 — January 1, 2008 @ 10:31 pm
Even for a psycho you are confused. Attacking Iran, the wet dream of all you neocons, is the way to get Russia and China to attack the US. Maybe you should go to a neocon site because they’re the one inciting attacks by these two super powers. Maybe you need to shut your yap until you get a clue.

Rodan, how was Russia defeated in the cold war?
Economically. In the last 25 years America went from a creditor to a debtor nation. China is a fast rising economical power. Since 2001, under GOP rule, the dollar has lost much of its value.

Where have you been, in a straight jacket or solitary confinement? Because the neocons were itching to attack Iran only recently. Did you just get out. Maybe you need to reacclimate yourself to the outside before you spew stupid.

It just wants to come here and spit and spray all over the thread. Calling people names gets him off, just like back in the schoolyard.
January 1st, 2008 at 10:46 pmAscii 75 is the + sign. Definitely not any correlative value here.

Also on CNN the other day, Huck was criticizing Romney for only hunting twice in his life—while he goes 30 times a year. Then Huck can’t figure out that the reason he is having trouble firing his gun is because the safety is on!!

January 1st, 2008 at 11:03 pmDescriptive Classifications of Intelligence Quotients
IQ Description % of Population
130+ Very superior 2.2%
120-129 Superior 6.7%
110-119 High average 16.1%
90-109 Average 50%
80-89 Low average 16.1%
70-79 Borderline 6.7%
Below 70 Extremely low 2.2%
Obviously 75 is too high for his “actual” IQ. He’d then be borderline as opposed to extremely low which obviously RodanT is.
January 1st, 2008 at 11:06 pmLooks like TP is, in fact, getting some moderation. A bunch of troll poop just disappeared. Hooray!

Comment by BARTLEBEE — January 1, 2008 @ 11:04 pm
ROTFL! Pure PROJECTION there BART. The DICTIONARIES OF RECORD (Merriam Webster and Oxford) BOTH disagree with you, but you were too much of a TARDED FANATIC to admit it. Sorry BART but where this ISSUE is involved, you’re EVERY BIT as MUCH OF A LIAR and MORON as RODAN APPEARS TO BE! Grow up LITTLE GIRL!

January 1st, 2008 at 11:22 pmmany literate people are very stupid. a dictionary is a limited source, and is a compendium of opinions. it seems to fit your limited viewpoint, but that’s your problem. and you are being very selective in your choices of definitions, as well. you may as well quote the bible.
January 1st, 2008 at 11:24 pmKeith I think it was bypass surgery. For one thing 100 lbs. is the mark you need to hit to get the bypass surgery. Besides that the rate at which he lost weight would be remarkable, making it to the full 105 lbs. and being as thin as he is without it. When he wins the nomination, snort, we should demand that he has a physical and release his full medical records to determine his character.
January 1st, 2008 at 11:27 pmBartlebee, you accusing others of having to have the last word is indeed ironic. You sound like Worfeus, who had to leave after another bout of having to have the last word.
