Despite Expressing Support For Writers, Huckabee Will Cross Picket Line To Appear On Leno
Despite Expressing Support For Writers, Huckabee Will Cross Picket Line To Appear On Leno
Today, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee is heading to Los Angeles to appear as Jay Leno’s first guest on the Tonight Show since the writer’s strike began on Nov. 5. When Huckabee enters Leno’s Burbank, CA studio, he will have to cross a picket line of striking Writers Guild of America members, as the union is protesting Leno’s return without a settlement.
Speaking to reporters earlier today, Huckabee “professed his support for the striking television writers union,” but said that he didn’t realize Leno’s writers were still on strike:
Mr. Leno’s program is returning to the air for the first time since a long hiatus for the strike. Speaking to reporters, Mr. Huckabee said he was unaware that he would be crossing picket lines and believed that he the program had reached a special agreement with the union.
Huckabee is either confused or being intentionally misleading. Unlike his rival — CBS’s David Letterman — the producers of Leno’s show have not brokered any sort of agreement with the Writer’s Guild.
Additionally, before being challenged by reporters about the picket lines, Huckabee and his team indicated that they knew Leno’s writers were still on strike. Today on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Huckabee’s wife, Janet, described his appearance on the Tonight Show as “an opportunity, really, for Mike, with the writer’s strike and everything, to go and give back to him [Leno].” Huckabee nodded in agreement. Watch it:
In an interview with the Associated Press yesterday, Huckabee joked about the strike’s stalled negotiations, saying that “if all else fails and this whole process doesn’t work out, maybe [Leno] needs a sidekick and I’ll be auditioning tomorrow.”
UPDATE: Alluding to Huckabee’s prior ignorance about the Iran NIE, ABC’s Jake Tapper reported tonight that his ignorance about the writer’s strike was just “the latest example of Huckabee being uninformed about a major event.” Watch it:

with guests like huckabee, who needs writers?
January 2nd, 2008 at 5:44 pmEvery time Huckabee uses the word “unaware” to justify his actions, I’m convinced he really needs to get new handlers. And if his campaign can’t afford handlers, he needs to start being aware.
If he’s this clueless as a candidate, how can we expect him to perform as president?
January 2nd, 2008 at 5:48 pmHuckleberry has the wisdom and sensibility of Floyd the Barber from the old Andy Griffith show.
January 2nd, 2008 at 5:48 pmHe supports the writers, but doesn’t know if Leno has an agreejament with them, so he’s just crossing the picket line to shake a few hands and mingle with the scum.
January 2nd, 2008 at 5:50 pmI wonder if Huckabee knows that Leno’s studio is somewhat, north, east and south of Los Angeles…
January 2nd, 2008 at 5:51 pm“…he didn’t realize…”
January 2nd, 2008 at 5:52 pmThe Huckster doesn’t realize much these days, does he?
Sorta kinda like delusional, sorta kinda like the incumbent presidunce and several wannabees.

Okay, let’s give him that.
Now that he’s aware that he’ll be crossing picket lines, what will he do?
January 2nd, 2008 at 5:54 pmAh. Can’t let those pesky principles get in the way of free publicity now, can we, Schmuckie?

More importantly I wonder if he understands that it borders the Writer’s Guild Building so if they wanted to negotiate it wouldn’t have been too onerous. Oh that’s right, borders confuse him.

It seems to me that the God guy - Huckabee - has trouble telling the truth. Ya know, Romney has trouble with the truth too. You know what? Gulliani has trouble with the truth. You know what? Thompson and McCain have been caught in lies recently.
Hmmmm. Who would Jesus lie to?

I think he’s measuring every Borders for a fence once he’s elected. It’s easier for him to keep track of borders when he throws a fence up every time the word arises.

Excuse us for reading your reflexive “Algore” as an expression of knee-jerk derision. Hatred may be too strong a word for it, but wingnuts do seem to have contracted “Gore Derangement Syndrome” — which is odd, since he’s not even running for office.

It looks like you’re wrong, katy. As a matter of fact, our favorite Christianist troll Daryll says that God has already elected the Huckster.
January 2nd, 2008 at 6:13 pmMore of those Christian Values on display. Let’s see Rev. Huck supports the writers but will cross the picket line. Rev. Huck had the famous floating cross but when caught he called it a bookshelf without books, in other words a floating bookshelf that glowed like a cross but you didn’t see what you saw. Then there’s the Mitt Christmas Card that Rev. Huck knows nothing about, but he did stop the hateful ad but showed it first just so it would be on national TV. Rev. Huck said he wants Jesus in the White House, while Bush said he had God in the White House. Makes you wonder since Satan has been running the White House for 7 years, will the Devil stay on for another term with Rev. Huck. Give Rev. Huck a gift and you can shake his hand, without the gift get out.
January 2nd, 2008 at 6:13 pmGG - you have just proved that you (and Repukes in general) don’t understand comedy.
Gee Dumbya is famous - or INfamous, I should say - world-wide for the extreme stupidity of the mangled messes that fall out of his mouth.
That’s funny.
Al Gore is smart, well-spoken, classy and the winner of a Nobel Prize.
Thus, your comeback is completely inaccurate; in fact, rather juvenile — and decidedly not funny.
Idiot Repukes never could figure out how to be funny. Your jokes are on par with the “your mother wears combat boots” crap that most of us left behind when we got out of third grade.

Comment by ralph the wonder llama — January 2, 2008 @ 6:13 pm
Absolutely right, although more “ordained” than “elected.” Darryl apparently believes this is The Year, lots of tribulation and chaos, but God has annointed Huckleberry to lead us onto the path of whips, chains and beheadings.
I suppose this means that The Rapture has to happen after November 4th. Otherwise, who’d vote for him?
January 2nd, 2008 at 6:18 pmThe weird thing about Daryll’s proclaimation is that he also said that he and some of his boys will be having a hunger strike in support of Huckabee. I asked why this was needed as he claimed his God had already preordained a Huckabee presidency. If I remember correctly he got tied up discussing his up coming Rio Gone Wild stuff and something about getting his beans buttered
January 2nd, 2008 at 6:19 pmYou guys think Hucksters wife looks bad here and this is with an NBC makeup artist. I’ve seen her standing next to him off the set and she looks glamorous here in comparison. They don’t call them artists for nothing.
January 2nd, 2008 at 6:20 pmAlright enough with the coat. Sammy Hagar loaned it to her since she was feeling chilled and Chuck Norris isn’t much of a gentleman
January 2nd, 2008 at 6:21 pmIs Daryll back yet?
January 2nd, 2008 at 6:24 pmI remember one of goals of the Brazil trip included the impregnation of Tiffany.

…
The sad think is that cheapskate Huckleberry payed for his own gastric bypass but wouldn’t by one for his wife. Of course it’s easier to keep her in her place, subservient and all, while she’s portly. It’s probably in his bible that only men should have bypass surgery anyway.

Comment by Nevar — January 2, 2008 @ 6:24 pm
Oh, lord yes, he’s back and posted a nice trip report. Apparently, he got hauled into the cop shop to account for his behavior, ogled half-naked women and converted a couple of gay prostitutes to being straight non-prostitutes. Or something. I know you’ll not believe me, but his report was a little incoherent.
January 2nd, 2008 at 6:26 pmSeems he is. Sadly I missed him earlier but it seems he has a new plan that involves celibate prostitution in the Brazilian sex industry. I highly recommend not investing in this venture as it seems counter to the whole point of prostitution
January 2nd, 2008 at 6:26 pmUnaware? Doesn’t he know the correct Repub phrase is “I don’t recall”?
January 2nd, 2008 at 6:27 pmSo gummitch what your saying is that Daryll posted something incoherent. Imagine that usually he’s so, so, blatantly insane.

January 2nd, 2008 at 6:29 pmDaryll’s report was a pip. I think it’s comment #42 but those are sometimes flexible numbers. It’s well worth reading, especially if you’re in need of a good laugh.
January 2nd, 2008 at 6:30 pmSounds like he had a good time!
January 2nd, 2008 at 6:33 pmProbably got hauled in for to much comfort from his rod and his staff, and squeezing the pomegranates…
gummitch, thanks for linking there.
What a goofy hoot St D is…
He converted three prostitutes to Godism, and they’ll now be celibate hookers.
I’m amazed he wasn’t knifed. He did however, true to my faux story, get hauled off to jail…
January 2nd, 2008 at 6:33 pmWhy is thinkpro all about Huckabee recently. Lets have a go at Romney. At least Huckleberry’s a nice guy, funny too. And the best thing about him? He will NEVER be president. We should be praising the guy!
January 2nd, 2008 at 6:33 pmi thought dave’s guest tonight was robin williams…
hillary also? or, instead?
should be a real hoot if both… if she’s first especially…
January 2nd, 2008 at 6:35 pmWhoa! After reading Daryll’s post again, this jumped right out at me!
He is attempting to rid this government of sin.
That’s a great idea! Not having a government that lies, invades, occupies and otherwise murders, tortures and turns us into a demonized nation would be great.
January 2nd, 2008 at 6:35 pmHe [Huckabee] wants to bring back harsh capital punishment. -Daryll
How is that doing Gods work?
January 2nd, 2008 at 6:36 pmi also heard that huck was going to play his “instrument” tonight…
CLINTON DID IT FIRST!
January 2nd, 2008 at 6:36 pmRid the government of sin by bringing back harsh capital punishment.
I wonder why Daryll didnt just get a baseball bat and start beating prostitutes in Brazil?
Sorry, Daryll, I dont follow your logic, it seems odd, mean and rather convoluted.
January 2nd, 2008 at 6:39 pmWell, I see SHE’s still fat.

What is it with Arkansas governors, anyway? What is it with Arkansas, for that matter? I mean, seriously, Arkansas? There are fewer than 3 million people in the whole state.
January 2nd, 2008 at 6:42 pmI’m sure all of the acquaintances Daryll and friends made in Brazil cheerfully went along to the tent meeting, grabbed a bite, made some new friends and perhaps some cash; and went right back to their favorite haunt as soon as the tent came down…
January 2nd, 2008 at 6:42 pmI wonder who his handlers are? It’s evident Huckabee isn’t paying attention to internation matters. Apparently his handlers aren’t keeping him apprised of national matter either. Just what is this man’s focus? Besides God, that is.

Maybe Daryll knows the answer to that one….. :)

He’s going to set up a church for all fourteen convertees… Good luck with that.
January 2nd, 2008 at 7:11 pmdbadass, you nonbeliever, Jeebus told Daryll that the smart money was on celibate prostitution and the lord doesn’t lie to Daryll when he’s off his meds. Daryll I mean not the lord. The lord doesn’t trust big pharmaceuticals.

Funny story! I share my classroom with a health teacher during my prep period. The other day was one of the closing days of her sexuality unit. I just happened to be in the room setting up a lab for the next period. Anyway the kids were allowed to ask any questions they had that had not been covered already. To prevent any potential embarassment they wrote them on paper. My favorite was ….
“Why are boobs so awesome”!!
To her credit the teacher in question responded with a simple deadpan…
“Because they are”

hey, the whole riggamarrow was beyond my realm…
i should’ve said i was raised in a catholic family… that seed never took hold with ME… but the teachings about jesus did… the golden rule…
like i said, i just got the I.M. thing recently… after 50+ years!
January 2nd, 2008 at 8:06 pmIf Mary were born of “Immaculate Conception” before Jebus then she is the first offspring of a god herself!!
Wow, imagine that a religion needs a sin free, virgin born female to have a virgin birth just to get a god child who just happened to be a man named Jesus instead of Jose!! THAT’S A LONG SHOT!!
And all of this in a nice Jewish family…Oy Vey!!!

Oh, man, that’s mean! I’ve saved it at home.
Priceless.
January 2nd, 2008 at 8:17 pm“virgin born female” - dixie, you’ve got it confused…
January 2nd, 2008 at 8:23 pmmary’s mother wasn’t a virgin… uuugh…. no more…
Gauging from the photo, Mr. and Mrs. Upchuckles must think this whole presidential race is some kind of sitcom/reality show…
January 2nd, 2008 at 8:35 pmDoes Huckleberry have a clue? I don’t think so.
January 2nd, 2008 at 9:59 pmHe does’t know about the NIE, about Bhutto, about the current status of the writers’ strike, but just ask him about Jamie Lynn Spears pregnancy and her “good” decision to keep the baby. He has a lot to say about that.
This man is dangerously ill-prepared to be president. The only one worse than him is the one we are suffering with today.
Virgin births, immaculate conceptions — every time I am reminded of these teachings from the old Baltimore Catechism of my childhood, I reject them all over again.
January 2nd, 2008 at 10:06 pmI once asked my sunday school teacher ‘If god got MRS.Mary Christ PG,wouldn’t that make her MRS.God?….out in the hallway again.
January 2nd, 2008 at 10:14 pmTwo things I don’t understand:
*) I’m of the impression that if a famous person flagrantly crosses a union picket line, folks from all the unions get a tad peevish about it. As a simple politician, why would Huck take the chance of loosing the labor vote ?
*) There is an explanation. Seeing all the stupid and mean things that Huck is doing, the writers have got to of figured out that this is the wrong time to go on strike. The politicians are sitting there writting their jokes for them. So if Huck gets them mad enough, they will abandon the strike and start writting for the pure joy of satarizing these boobs.
January 2nd, 2008 at 10:15 pmMarcus Aurelius, it appears that the WaPo is rotating pictures, so I had to wait for a few minutes, and was greeted by a sickening picture of Phyllis Diller with the Huck pointing like he is a cross between a stud, a playah, and a gangster.
You could have warned me!
January 2nd, 2008 at 10:18 pmwisedup - L O L … i was familiar with the hall also…
January 2nd, 2008 at 10:32 pmyou too, marie! … it’s quite a club!
Don’t worry katy the whol original sin thing came up later when they were trying to give the truly pure a reason to come to church if they hadn’t sinned and had nothing to confess. That’s no doubt when they backed in to the whole immaculate conception of Mary. It’s all just part of the Catholic marketing plan.
January 2nd, 2008 at 11:09 pmI’m getting sick and tired of Jay Leno sticking his nose…er chin into American politics. He should stay with what he’s good at, the Holllywood freak show.
January 2nd, 2008 at 11:39 pmUm, dixie, it’s Catholic doctrine.

It’s actually you that’s ignorant, DB.
BTW, I’m a Jew. I don’t believe this stuff. But you don’t have to believe it to know what it is, and proclaiming others’ ignorance regarding subjects about which you know nothing only proves your own ignorance. And arrogance.
