The Mike Huckabee Show?

As Mike Huckabee gave his concession speech last night, news analysts were predicting that the former Arkansas governor may become a tv personality. “We’ve got a chair here he could fill,” said MSNBC Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski. On Fox News, actor Stephen Baldwin said that “he would be reaching out to Mr. Huckabee to serve as a spokesperson for an organization called the Christian Values Network.”

    Of course. Because Scarborough, Tucker and Beck need help catapulting the propaganda.


  3. fletc3her says:

    He can provide counter programming for the Discovery Channel’s specials about dinosaurs.

    Mrs. Chuckleknees could fill Tammy Fay Bakers spot.
    And get Tammy’s makeup artist off unemployment benefits.

    I watched The Mike Huckabye Show back in the 1950s. Except back then his name was Soupy Sales.


  9. RUCerious says:

    He could have Ann Coulter perform some ‘perfecting’ exercises on Jewish members of the audience!


  10. tombaker says:

    A reality show where we can see his creepy kid kill dogs? Yee-Haw!


  11. tombaker says:

    …and how about that ugliest Baldwin brother, and his desperate bid to stay in showbiz by shilling for the bible-bangers?? must’ve been a choice between that and gay porn, and he was too fugly to do gay porn.


  12. woodguy says:

    Anyone else see the Campbell soup commercial where the cook discovers sea salt? The guy’s a ringer for the Huckster. The first time I saw it I did a double take. Maybe he’s already got a job in show biz.


  13. Ms_Joanne says:

    Hmmm…I wonder what those values might be because goopers have no values. Well, other than money…olther people’s money.

    Oh, and a ton o moolah for the Huckster.

    An electric chair ?

    Imagine the conversations that go on at baldwin thanksgiving table between Alec and Fugly.

    He’ll be your Huckleberry.


  17. Buckie Boy says:

    But God told that psycho Daryll that Mike would be Presnut…guess Daryll’s God is a liar or Daryll is a liar, and we can all guess which one of those choices are true.

    ——————————–

    Is this “Christian Values Network” going to be another misnomer? Sort of like “Moral Majority”, which was neither?

    I suspect that we won’t see Daryll for awhile. Either that, or he’ll be here claiming that “president-elect” Huckabee is still God’s plan. Even if that implies God plans for McCain to either drop out or drop dead.


  20. Fritz says:

    I think that he would be very good at selling snake-oil…

    McInsane is actually alive !?!?!?!

    I always believed he was just a regenerated zombie-type creature………..


  22. natisman says:

    So this is what Huckabuck was running for? Rudi runs to get work for his Law firm and speaking engagements? Ron Paul runs because he’s nuts and MacBush wants to be like the folks who have a brain?

    The RePUG Wizard of OZ


  23. tombaker says:

    Bob – I think Alec got most of the brains, too, so the Thankgiving scenario likely involves physical domination and screaming, cying capitulation.

    “Say “I’m an idiot”!”

    “No!”

    “Say it, or I’m not letting you up!”

    “No!”

    (twist, crunch)

    “Moooooooooommmmmm, Alec’s beating me up again!! WAAAAHHH!”

    You take that back! Don’t be bad-talking Soupy Sales or you’ll be in the doghouse with me.

    For my money, Soupy’s greatest contribution to American culture was the inclusion of his two sons in David Bowie’s late-eighties garage band experiment, Tin Machine.


  26. RUCerious says:

    Hey! Maybe the Huckster couild have Daryll on his show, mooning over the latest greatest scam that Pastor Jennings has come up with, like the chaste prostitute scam in Rio!


  27. RUCerious says:

    White Fang says, Reh, ohh Reow!!


  28. Roket says:

    LOL natisman@22

    The Republicans of Oz and their journey down that yellow brick road to oblivion. hehe

    Actually, I heard that the Huckster’s concession triggered the Rapture. Daryll and the other 143,999 Truly Faithful, God’s Gross, are happily stringing harps. Funny.

    Soon we won’t even remember them.

    Because “Morning Joe” ratings aren’t already pretty much in the toilet , you want to see how low they can go by adding another GOP loser who is as crappy a player on bass as Scaborough is on guitar ?

    Who in the hell runs MSNBC ? Moe , Larry and Curly ?

    My guess is Shemp.


  32. Leftside Annie says:

    Yeah. Perfect. He can hawk those Jesus action figures with glow-in-the-dark hands!!


  33. McWars says:

    DO NOT get too comfortable, Huck Huckabee still intends to cast that spell on the IRS.


  34. McWars says:

    Huckabee will warm up to McCain, even w/o the VP nod.

    Why?

    He wants that appointment….


  35. McWars says:

    …as Commissioner (Disabler) of the IRS!!


  36. zuch says:

    a spokesperson for an organization called the Christian Values Network.

    Like the Home Shopping Network?

    “Getchyour indulgences today! Call now, and with your order of three indulgences, we’ll ship another three absolutely free….”

    Cheers,

  39. Hawkeye says:

  40. Evil Spaniard says:

    actor Stephen Baldwin said that “he would be reaching out to Mr. Huckabee to serve as a spokesperson for an organization called the Christian Values Network.”

    Hey, Huck has already an actor to do this! Dare to steal it from Chuck Norris, and you’ll know the pain of a roundhouse kick!


  41. Max-1 says:

    .

    Maybe UpChuckabee can team up with Steven and talk about the value of bragging about how many people he’s sent to their death…

    … Them some Christian values, NO?

    .
