Liveblogging Mike Huckabee’s Socialist Agenda At The RNC

by Sara K. Smith  9:29 pm September 3, 2008

Shucks.Mike Huckabee was one of the best failed presidential candidates in the world: from his kinky public sex hijinks with his frightening wife, to his comical insistence on staying in the primary race because he went to the College of God instead of the College of Maths, and also that time he fucked a squirrel on Arkansas public television. What wonderful things will he say tonight, at the Republican National Convention, in order to make John McCain regret not picking the other pleasant wingnut Christian governor from a state of tattooed alcoholic rednecks?

9:27 PM — The Elite Media is a uniter, not a divider.
9:29 PM — I am no racist, but we can’t elect a token black guy for president!
9:30 PM — Well, people in here seem to like him. Mike Huckabee is a likeable guy who tells adorably corny jokes. Oh Jesus he is inveighing against dangerous elite EUROPEAN IDEAS. The theme of tonight isn’t “Prosperity” or whatever, it’s rancid xenophobia. Hmm, something in here smells delicious…like baking hot dog buns.
9:34 PM — Jesus Christ, Joe Biden didn’t get more than 7000 votes for Preznet? Send that loser to the gulags. And now the ritual recitation of John McCain’s Stations of the cross in Communist Vietnam.
9:37 PM — And here comes Mike Huckabee’s touching story of some teacher who made kids sit on the floor for two days in order to punish them for not enlisting in the military. America’s military veterans went to war for WOODEN DESKS, and liberals can’t appreciate that kind of sacrifice.
9:39 PM — John McCain went to Vietnam for school desks, because the Vietnamese wanted to take them, and also our freedom, and that is why they took his arms instead. The end.
9:34 PM — Sorry comments were turned off, Republican haxxors got into our spotty Internet connection and tried to curb your Speech Freedoms. But they should be on again.

Biden was running against like 15 ppl. Palin won against one dim-witted, slackjawed hick.

Garyosu September 3, 2008 at 9:38 pm

Did he really say that he didn’t find out until college that it wasn’t supposed to hurt when you showered? What kind of showering was going on in Huckleberry’s house?

SayItWithWookies September 3, 2008 at 9:39 pm

Oh good gravy — this is some glurge story on Snopes.com. Ick.

When I saw “comments closed,” I thought you folks had had it with the wallpaper gripes.

Whew.

Now about that fucking wallpaper…

angryhippopotamus September 3, 2008 at 9:39 pm

Of course he didn’t. He dropped out after the Iowa caucus!

StrangelyBrown September 3, 2008 at 9:39 pm

Yeah, I was spammed with that desk story, too. What the fuck lesson is it supposed to teach? Veterans are good movers?

AngryBlakGuy September 3, 2008 at 9:39 pm

…that was the most idiotic story I have ever heard

Monsieur Grumpe September 3, 2008 at 9:39 pm

Desk tears aren’t free!

chascates September 3, 2008 at 9:40 pm

So now the veterans have to pay for the school desks! Cheapskate politicians.

shortsshortsshorts September 3, 2008 at 9:40 pm

I hate to say this fucker is doing a bang-up job. Does he know who he’s endorsing? He sounds like it….
Remember- five and a half years gave you a school desk.

pdn September 3, 2008 at 9:40 pm

jesus, he’s still on the fucking desks.

Lorax September 3, 2008 at 9:40 pm

You are making veterans cry, Mike Huckabee.

Not sure if it’s out of emotion or out of utter boredom.

Have you no shame, sir?

John McCain helped him get a desk? How??
By fighting in Vietnam???? WTF?!?
Does that even make sense?
Hmm…

Olbermann says the Biden got 35,000 votes. but then again Huckabee didn’t major in math.

AmericanValues September 3, 2008 at 9:41 pm

Only veterans pay taxes in Huckabees’ America. Apparently they bought every desk in the country.

obfuscator September 3, 2008 at 9:41 pm

I was listening to this on the NPRs. I caught Mittens, too. The crowd reaction was positively underwhelming, except of course, when Huggabee shit on poor people for waiting around for gubbernment to help them. That shit brought the house down.

[re=81969]StrangelyBrown[/re]: What kind of bitch teacher makes a bunch of crippled vets carry desks into a classroom? Didn’t we just go over how none of them can lift their arms and all must be president?

Whose this person from Hawaii? Did she attend Mooslim school in Indonesia too????

Whitey Did Katrina September 3, 2008 at 9:42 pm

In all serious, cynicism aside, the soldier worship gets very tiresome. There are people doing all sorts of things that make this country run safely and efficiently. The focus on soldiers obscures the sacrifices that many others make.

Also, Huck’s chin has the same exact contours as my sack.

chradcliffe September 3, 2008 at 9:42 pm

Overheard in my living room: “Even if the Germans had taken over, we would still have fucking desks”.

grevillea September 3, 2008 at 9:42 pm

Y’all could’a made a whole lot more desks if you hadn’t napalmed the rainforests…

[re=81970]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: It’s a rerun from a 2007 speech — by Huckabee. Who probably paid the teacher to do the stunt.
http://www.snopes.com/glurge/nodesks.asp

You’ll note that her class has time for patriot lessons (using vets for free) but won’t spring for textbooks. Nice.

The 3-Legged Man September 3, 2008 at 9:43 pm

Yes! B-ball star! Beauty queen! I’m there!

TheSYNDICATE September 3, 2008 at 9:43 pm

The saddest part about watching Huckabee is he is the only current Republican that has any skill at public speaking. Too bad he learned it from snake oil salesmen like Kenneth Copeland.

“They face the same challenges we all do in our country,” like a lack of sex ed.

And as another commitment to fiscal discipline, she took Wasilla from having a balanced budget to being $22 million in debt.

CthuNHu September 3, 2008 at 9:56 pm

And yes, this wonderful saint of a mother put country first — well, Alaska first, really, enough that she blithely endangered her premature child’s health to cross a continent while leaking amniotic fluid just so that young Trig could be born on Alaskan soil and thus be eligible to run for President of Alaska after it gains its liberty in the 2009 War for Northern Independence. And she made sure to have him in Wasilla, too, so he can be President of the Free State of Wasilla after it secedes in 2010, only there won’t be a war then, because the rest of Alaska will be like, hey, no problem, you’re on your own.

And don’t tell me Trig can never be President of anything, either, because — well, you know, Bush.
