It appears the always modest Huckabee family finances have gotten so lean that “the guy you work with, not the guy who laid you off” has turned to debasing forms of employment while he pursues his doomed bid for the presidency.
Yes, he is giving speeches … for money. This weekend, instead of campaigning he will be addressing a group of “young professionals” in the Cayman Islands. Yesterday he defended the move, telling reporters “I have to make a living … There will be a few other times when I go out and make sure I can pay my mortgage payment like everybody else has to.”
More troubling, though, is this ad spotted in American Profile this weekend:

Keep in mind that Huckabee has only collected $113.73 in campaign contributions since this whole thing began, so it sorta makes sense he'd do this.
Young professionals in the Caman Islands? Yeah. Right. Time to expose Huckman for the party animal/soup freak/dead elk humper he really is.
Those Campbell's ads make me sad, because you know? That was Agent Harris on The Sopranos, and it seems wrong for him to go from that show to shilling for shitty soup.
He could sell his blood plasma to McCain.
@Serolf Divad: 113.73 + a few cases of Evian. Not to mention all the backstage snax at the debates.
A caman once tried to carry away my baby.
Hey, at least he's working, earning money, paying taxes, like the rest of us. What about the hearings with the legislators, Waxman and Friends, grabbing the media for self promotion about a subject that our judicial system should be concerned with, not the legislative branch of our government. These grandstanders are getting paid out of our hard earned money. These grandstanders are making themselves household names, riding to fame on the coattails of Roger Clemens, Someone should investigate them on wasting taxpayer money for their own personal use.
Huck hearts caimans.
That ad makes my head hurt. Do people think they use divers to harvest sea salt?
Coming soon from Campbell's: Think & Hearty Squirrel Chowder (in a delicious popcorn butter broth!).
@Godless Liberal: Have you seen what Paulie Walnuts is doing now? I'm afraid the magic is gone.
There's always roadside muskrat stew stands.
He's still in better fiscal shape than Walnuts though.
I just saw McCain on the corner in a cowboy hat. "Uh, well, sir, I ain't a f'real cowboy. But I am one helluva stud!"
Unfortunately, I don't think that Huckabee can look to either of his two bloated-sacs-of-protoplasm sons to be breadwinners in the foreseeable future, unless strangling dogs magically becomes valued in our service-oriented economy.
@norbizness:
How about instead of strangling dogs, we hire him to strangle dog show people?
Nobody is saying what group of "young professionals" Huckabee is speechifying for. Likely choices are Skull and Bones, or the Log Cabin Republicans.
I can see it now, Hucklebee's House of Dog 'n Deer, fresh-killed each day.
he's going to the cayman islands to make some bank deposits where there will be no tracking.
Well, what else can you expect with a college degree but no PhD in miracles?
Re: Huckster posing with Bambi's dad: can someone tell me why hunters bother to wear camo when they go and put on day-glow orange hats and vests over them?
@metropolitan:
hey soup can, is that you in the ad?
Chucklebee's signature soup recipe: Mix 1 quart of Evian with 3 cups of Miracle Whip. Simmer for one eternity atop a lake of fire and brimstone. Serves 4!
Huckabee also has a TV ad:

I'm Mike Huckabee, and I approve of this soup.
I'm telling you people, he's ideal as a Cabela model.
Especially if get gets his fat back:

That is not a deer, and its meat doesn't turn into venison jerky. As for the camo, it's just a hunting coat, most of us don't have more than one. Sometimes you need camo, sometimes you don't.
