Howard Kurtz reports that former Arkansas governor and erstwhile presidential candidate Mike Huckabee will join Fox News as a political contributor. As a McCain surrogate, Huckabee will find ample company at Fox. Fox is expected to announce the deal later today. (HT: TVNewser)

I’m sure Darryl will be THRILLED.
June 12th, 2008 at 4:27 pmFox News: Where the Losers go…
June 12th, 2008 at 4:28 pmPerfect. Huckabible can share his Obama assassination jokes with like minds.
June 12th, 2008 at 4:28 pmGuess with ol’ Huck Fox will be even more fair & balanced.
June 12th, 2008 at 4:29 pmLet the political sermons begin!
June 12th, 2008 at 4:29 pmFox keeps getting worse and worse - if that is even possible. It seems all failed GOP’rs never die, they just move to the Fox News nuthouse. Huckabee is Darryls wet dream…
June 12th, 2008 at 4:29 pmSo he joined GOP TV? hardly a surprise…
June 12th, 2008 at 4:30 pmMan! That Wingnut Welfare Program just keeps growing and growing, don’t it?
June 12th, 2008 at 4:31 pmfair and balanced.
June 12th, 2008 at 4:32 pmIsn’t there a proverb about too many nuts in a sack? Eggs in a box? Something like that.
Anyway, Faux is living up to the motto:
All the news you need to avoid. It’s all on Faux!
June 12th, 2008 at 4:33 pmmika’s gonna be soooo disappointed that msnbc didn’t sign him.
June 12th, 2008 at 4:33 pmLook for Grampy McLame to be on after he loses the election in November calling all those stepford News Gals “c*nts” and “Trollops”…
June 12th, 2008 at 4:34 pmAnother Huckster on Fox. One more reason not to watch.

June 12th, 2008 at 4:36 pmLOL LOL LOL LOL!!!!
The “fair and balanced” [sic] channel strikes again!
June 12th, 2008 at 4:38 pmI still can’t believe anyone actually watches fox news.
June 12th, 2008 at 4:40 pmI think the only reason anyone might tune in is to count how many different nut-bars show their grills in 30 minutes.
Why am I not surprised?

You know it won’t really be “fair & balanced” until Fox hires Mitt Romney as well. After all, he lost to McCain too. And then they could put them on an evening “opinion” show where each night they could have a conservative guest, or maybe 2 conservative guests bashing 1 moderate playing the part of a liberal, and call it Huckabee and Romney.
Hmmm. Seems too familiar. . . I’ve got it!
They could add a short-skirted blonde, put them on in the morning, and have daily roundtable discussions promoting McCentury and GOP talking points! Can’t miss TV for the 28%-ers. If only I could come up with a title.
June 12th, 2008 at 4:48 pmSince that noise needs more political contribution like Warren Buffet needs more money, Huck’s doing a cooking show. It’ll be called ‘Squirreling Around with Mike’.
June 12th, 2008 at 4:49 pmOh, great…more Christian fundieness. Huckleberry Hound, they name is Legion.
June 12th, 2008 at 4:51 pmGarbage in….garbage out!
June 12th, 2008 at 4:52 pmDamn! And I was So hoping McInsane’d pick the Huckster as his running mate! Oh well, now anyone wanting to hear the Word of God can now turn to Faux news and get a double dose of stupidity at a pop! As Mark Twain once said, the difference between fiction and reality is that fiction has to make sense.
June 12th, 2008 at 4:52 pmImpeach Cheney and Bush and Save the Constitution!
Well…he better not be doing any Contributing on the Sabbath, or I’m gonna report him!
June 12th, 2008 at 4:54 pmA match made in heaven.
June 12th, 2008 at 4:57 pmHuck-a-buck joins Huck-a-bunch-of-$hit!
I don’t suppose the “fair and balanced” news network would hire an Obama surrogate? And I mean one who can put together valid arguments, not just somebody to act as a foil for the wingnuts?
June 12th, 2008 at 5:00 pmI thought Daryll’s god had him pegged as president elect? Daryll’s god must have been on that plant Moses was that day
June 12th, 2008 at 5:03 pm#17 Blue Fish
Huckabee said “Don’t Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?” when discussing Mitt Romney’s religion. I don’t those two would be a good match BlueFish, Huck is to opinionated about religion.
But a good thought..:)
June 12th, 2008 at 5:05 pmWhere’s that pic of Picard with his head in his hand?
June 12th, 2008 at 5:08 pmHuckabee stirred controversy again in October 2007, likening abortion to a “holocaust”.”
Huckabee will be right at home with Bill O’Reilly and Ruport. They both have a way of being offensive on a daily basis also.
June 12th, 2008 at 5:09 pmHuckabee joins Fox News.»
Was he accepted because of his sick racist Obama joke?
June 12th, 2008 at 5:10 pm69 Says:
“attempt”?
what “attempt”?
you’re funny.

O’Reilly Factor (2,300,000) Countdown w/ Olbermann (793,000) Fox has 1.5 million more viewers than MSNBC
O’Really?
June 12th, 2008 at 5:13 pmWe all know Huckabee likes to clown around. What better place to do it than Faux News?

I told you once already — a “69″ involves another person. Sticking your head up your own ass doesn’t count.
June 12th, 2008 at 5:47 pmFaux News - where we have more nut bars than a kid on Halloween.
Daryll can tell us how “GOD” (snicker) told him that he really meant “the President of Fox News”.
Just what the country needs, another delusional nut spouting off about politics and religion.
June 12th, 2008 at 5:50 pmI don’t subscribe to cable so I don’t see much of any of the talking heads. However, I’ve seen KO disagree with enough guests to know that the”69″troll is pulling stuff out of it’s rear. Perhaps a troll can’t tell when there’s disagreement unless one, or both, parties are shouting and cutting off mics?
BTW, the only televised news that comes close to “fair and balanced” is PBS and people who yell don’t get invited back.
June 12th, 2008 at 5:55 pmWell, well, well, the floating cross Huckabuck landed a gig over at the Blowhard news. Is the Mittster sending his job application over there?
June 12th, 2008 at 6:07 pmralph the wonder llama: I discovered the joys of 77 years ago, after a session of 69, I done 8 more! Yum.
June 12th, 2008 at 6:16 pmIf you see Huckleberry take his popcorn popper into the building warn the pigeons.

Don’t forget BBC, I watch that both here and when overseas. It is amazing how they can see through the BushCo Fartclouds and call it as it really is.
June 12th, 2008 at 6:24 pmHucklebee, that sanctimonius soul, that mouth that promised if elected “he would change our government into a religious institution as it was supposed to be”, that republican who espoused truth as long as women stayed in their place, is proving “hypocrisy, thy name is republican” in the best way possible, by joining up with Fox News.
Lots of religious work to do there, Huckie!!
June 12th, 2008 at 6:53 pm.
UpFu(kabee is hired by Pravda News?
.
June 12th, 2008 at 7:41 pmWhen will we see them finally change their Faux logo on the bottom left of the screen to the elephant and get it over with, already. Truth in advertising and all that, you know.
June 12th, 2008 at 7:57 pmIs Chuck Norris part of Huckabee/Fox Deal.
