A woman who works in a restaurant at the Little Rock airport said she was fired after she held up a Hillary Clinton sign in view of John McCain's landing plane. Micah Qualls says former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee saw her holding up the sign in the parking lot and complained to her boss, who promptly canned her. But Mike Huckabee and her boss say no such thing happened, and this is all a terrible misunderstanding! So who's lying — the sassy lassie who starred in a local theater production of "Anything Goes," or the devout governor whose covenant wedding Qualls protested three years ago?
Ah, who cares! The point is, this tangled web has ensnared one diligent reporter for the Arkansas Times, Mike Huckabee, John McCain, Hillary Clinton, and various airport restaurant authorities. Every single literate resident of Arkansas has commented on this very important incident at the bottom of this blog post, so read it if you want to read about how Hillary Clinton is a lousy tipper, and freespeech freespeech, habeas corpus, and some other cafe that might employ Ms. Qualls now. Also there is an exciting late-night phone call from Mike Huckabee himself, admitting to nothing!

I'm guessing that Obama is "Hitler of Hope"?
Are you sure it was a Hillary sign? I heard the sign read "Hey Walnuts! KISS MY GRITS!"
"Every single literate resident of Arkansas has commented on this very important incident."
Has Maya Angelou weighed in yet?
Keeping plausible deniability a fine art. That's our Huck!
The Flight Deck is all right, but true airport dining aficionados know that Homer's, with their delectable fried baloney sammitches, is tops in the market.
WHY DOES BARACK OBAMA LET THIS HAPPEN?!?/1!111!
Huck was probably just mad because she told him they were out of deep fried squirrels.
No problem -- all they have to do is find a McCrone supporter who's willing to work for $2.01 an hour plus tips.
Every single literate person in Arkansas? Okay, so where did the other 600 commenters come from?
Well, if she gets a new gig at Waffle Hut, at least she can pester Obama while he's just trying to eat his fuckin' waffles.
But not at Denny's. They don't like serving his kind there.
it could be Hill's latest attempt to raise "waitress for Hillary fund". You Go Girl 5$!!!
Mmmm...she's got that hot Paula Jones look going on.
@jagorev: Oh, lots of us can do the readin' and writin', it's the wearing shoes thing that hangs us up.
Huckabee really does seem like the type that would narc on someone for smoking in the boy's room in high school. He is just that kind of smarmy do-gooder.
Why is everyone from Arkansas ugly?
Aren't McCain and Hillz such great pals? I thought they were drinking buddies, traveling companions, and just plain fun peeps...
I particularly love how her boss let her work the lunch shift before firing her.
Kind of like fucking your girlfriend right before you break up with her, huh?
Classy.
Walnuts has been pissed ever since they closed Sambo's.
Whadja expect? The sign opposed dog hanging, still a very, very sensitive issue in the McHuckabee camp. [victoriakos.blogspot.com]
This is even though Scalia has come out in support.
Qualls looks a little bit more like Chelsea than Bill would probably like to admit. WOnder how many other Chelsea look-alikes there are in Little Rock?
Huckabee is a minister, and a Republican. So there is no way he could have lied to a reporter in order to make himself look better. We all know that only godless Democrats do that.
Wait, are we naming girl babies "Micah" now? More proof that the folks in the Bible belt don't really read the Bible, or at least don't understand it.
@Gopherit: That Qualls looks a fair bit like Chelsea just proves that Web Hubbell is the unlikeliest "player" in the history of mankind. That troglodyte pulls serious tail. He must sweat Axe bodyspray or something.
Bill's never been able to fulfill his biological imperitive on account of narry yoo-ree-threr. He relies on ol' Web to do the actual spawning for him.
@jfruh: Which brings us back to the earlier point about literacy and Arkanses...
That picture of WALNUTS! looks like he just stared into the Ark of the Convenant.
AHA!
The anagram for:
John McCain is a complete turd.
IS:
Majestic, phonier malconduct.
= he the debbil.
Here's the real story. Micah went to her car, got her Hillary sign, and held it up on the outside of the fence at the airport. Huckabee saw her, got ticked, and told Mr. Holbert he didn't appreciate McCain arriving and seeing a Hillary sign. Mr. Holbert, owner of the restaurant, fired Micah after her shift. Arkansas free press guy over-heard Micah's friend talking about it. Free press guy happens to know Huck. Free press guy tells Huck this girl got fired because you said something to Mr. Holbert. Huck says, oh man I didn't mean for that to happen, I paid 1000.00 bucks for Mccain to land here, he was offended upon landing and seeing a Hillary supporter. Politics baby!
@Doombilly: Genius!
She can get a job at the Wal-Mart makeup counter easy. She's got that whole Covergirl raccoon thing going on.
I'd hit that.
Whether I tip or not will depend on the service.
