Mike Huckabee sent this e-mail to an Evian PR person — seriously. Is he really so poor?

Everyone knows Evian makes for better moonshinin'!
Hey! Evian is Naive spelled backwards! But Huckzbeez is the savior!?
damn, old habits are hard to quit. mike hickabee never met a freebie he didn't like.
Thought Hucks drank well water.
It's for his "turning into wine/walking on" operation at the inaugural.
You know, I doubt Hillary, Barack or John would bother emailing themselves. This tells me that he's a regular guy, and perhaps less arrogant that the others. That has to be worth something.
@NoWireHangers: Nope, just rain water and pure grain alcohol.
@Lothar_: This means his major in miracles can finally be put to good use.
Evian doesn't have any of that poisonous floride.
good to see someone with his grandiose aspirations has time to take his focus off the big picture so he can deal with the sort of piddly-ass lame shit that only a deeply flawed and self-obsessed compulsive micromanager personality would ever fucking bother with
But won't Evian pollute his precious bodily fluids?!
Remainders from Flunkabee's housewarming Target gift registry, perchance?
Stevie said I can haz water. Send to howz. Nice people. Thx.
Shocking that Hucklebee would put American springs out of work like that.
The first rule of campaigning. Remember to redeem your coupons!
@FMIKEA: On no account will a Baptist drink water, and not without good reason.
Huckster ain't rich, he's Arkansas rich, and those fatbody sons o his don't bring home the bacon, but they sure doez wolf it down!
Some folks just seem to
forget where they came from
Nice sentence structure. Another illiterate republican vies for the White House.
Can't he just buy one case and have someone miraculously turn it into cases enough to fill the multitudes?
And seriously, why the big drop off in reported miracles once moving pictures were invented?
Freeloading Arkansan governors are notorious freeloaders. Nail down the White House furniture if he does get elected.
@Mo MoDo: If he gets elected, Jesus will come down for the inauguration to separate the Sharks from the Jets or some such.
@Laura Ingalls Wildest: Don't even ask about the emails he sent to Italian Peoples Bakery, and Capt. John's Fish Sticks.
Get your facts right Wonkette
It was sent Friday, not Tuesday morning.
Hey, at least he's progressive enough to use "the e-mail". That's something.
@Baiowulf: I heart West Side Story Jesus.
I hope he uses his mighty miracle powers to turn it into wine. Remember Mike, WWJD.
@Evan_Jellick:
But then pile on his Jeebus asshattery and general ignorance then the answer is "no, it doesn't."
Has anyone alerted Mitt Romney and the entire GOP base, to the fact that the Huckabee wants some of that FRENCH water?
This makes me like him more. Hell, if I had a coupon for Evian water, I'd redeem it too.
I bet all the millionaires running in this race wouldn't bother, except maybe Ron Paul so he could turn Evian into gold in his basement alchemical lab.
It's for baptizing French people.
Yes, but he bathes in FIJI. FIJI is "untouched by man" and therefore is the only water pure and God-fearing enough to touch Huck's outside manparts.
Raise your hand if you are now tempted to mail porn to that address.
(Raises hand.)
@Jasen_Comstock: I thought we were supposed to avoid discussion of our precious bodily fluids. For some of us that includes transmission fluid, for others...well... is it precious when you spill it at a Britney Spears concert?
@Dave J.: hehehehe
Of course if he wins (like McCain keeling over) the Secret Service might be returning it to you....
Just one small step to us becoming the France of the 21st century.
Wait - Steven Colbert can score free water coupons from Evian and Huckabee can't? And South Carolina kept him off the South Carolina ballot but not Huckabee? If you can't score a measly free water coupon, how credible of a candidate are you?
i just think it's weird you get coupons for shit after appearing on a talk show.
Looks like Hucks lives across the street from the subdivision's community center, unless that monstrosity with the pool is actually his house. Either way, can't he just go over to the cement pond with a bucket if he needs water?

Where's the damn beer coupons?
Bah. *Jesus* could get water out of a stone! This proves Huckabee is no Jesus. Perhaps the Apostle Peter will rise up..."I knew Jesus and you, sir, are no Jesus."
@Evan_Jellick: Nothin' says "regular guy" like a good, ol' fashioned e-mail.
@Lazy Media: That's where the poor folk live? Damn. I should be so poor!
Huckabee's camel rejoices.
@Lazy Media: luckily for the world, i'm am bored enough at work today to fix links. try this.
@Dave J.: I wouldn't mail porn, but putting him on the scientology web request for info really is tempting.
My boss did the Daily Show and got tons of goofy coupons like that in his gift basket. We didn't redeem any of it. I thought it was totally cheesy. Glad I didn't redeem that shit and have some PR asshole announce that he ordered some goofy ass Rockports or whatever they had in there.
@Lazy Media: Where are the broken pick-ups and porches for the hound dogs to call home?
I wonder if Huckster got coupons for this?
@rikitikitavi:
Email is common today. Please.
If he can't be president... hey. Free water.
I really hope the leaky PR person loses that job....and it becomes a news story so we can snark, snark, snark. What fun!
Note to self: Don't trust Evian PR folk with private emails.
What is sad is that every one typing here would take whatever freebies are thrown their way too. There is nothing wrong with it at all.
While maybe being too religious for this seemingly heretical audience of bloggers, Mike Huckabee seems to be a fairly decent guy - decent enough to ask simple question and decent enough to do it without 1000 handlers.
Keep on ridiculing. A tad childish, don't you all think?
@Evan_Jellick: No.
@Evan_Jellick: Oh, and nee-ner-nee-ner.
One: This is a residential address (put it into Google Maps)
Two: According to Zillow, this seems like a pretty diverse street, with houses between $250-$750K.
@Obamaton: Shh! The commies are gonna hear you!
@HansDog: I was thinking about this. All these Hard Rockin' Events where Huckster lays down some phat groove and shit... Aren't all his supporters evangelical Christians? Can you imagine how incredibly mind numbing it must be to have to listen to "Sweet Home Alabama", surrounded by eery, vapid smiles, and have nothing but PUNCH because beer is the Devil's water?
Noboby here gets it... Evian makes the best holy water! I think he can even say the blessing himself, but maybe Jesus took that power away from him when he announced his candidacy.
Maybe he thought they would deliver it in one of the new Lacroix bottles? Very, very nice, but I think you have to go on Stewart to get one of those...
@Gopherit: I bought something very similar to those Jesus beauty products from a friend of mine recently, and have seen them around (independently owned book stores, not-too-stupid novelty shops) for a couple of years. You mean to tell me that Singapore has a stick up its ass worse than America? That we're too complacent to protest the shit out of a harmless novelty item? Then we needs teh Huckabeez to save our soulz.
I think it's pretty clear that this guy loves him some free shit.
@MoeGolden: Kucinich has been on Colbert, too; I wonder where his Email is:
"Can you send me a case or two of this stuff? It's all my Amazonian Wiccan of a wife will use to cleanse her porcelain skin and her ginger hair."
@Evan_Jellick: To be "heretical" you have to believe in something. And we believe in nothing, Jellick! Nothing!
Shouldn't the Arkansas guv be drinking Ozarka?
So an Evian person gives him a coupon... which he tries to redeem... and is then sold down the river by a classless Evian PR person? Wonkette - why not let us know who that PR person is? At best, it's dirty tricks on Evian's behalf, and Huckabee - cheapo or not - was set up.
Oh, I get it. They're giving away all the good coupons to the famous people. Leave all of us regular folks to redeem those "buy 10, get 5 cents off" bullshit. Who's in charge of this coupon business? I'll send Russell Crowe on their sorry asses.
@Rottenart: Aw, you suggesting Huckabee can't down 6 or 10 brews after a long day of warring?
Well, sorry, but what the hell would anybody want to be Presnit if you can't booze it up and get all that other free stuff?
@In Other News...:
How do you know that Gov Mike didn't allow his name to be used for this? I think its endearing that he asked for water. It reminds me of my father, who cuts coupons and mails away for every free item being offered.
Schmuckabee.
Aww guys, I think you all made Evan Jellick cry!
