Now it is official, as Mike Huckabee — the famous ex-fat person whose chief economic proposal as a presidential candidate was to institute a sales tax of 25%, something he read in some book — hath decreed it. And this is a great example of it! The Politico, ostensibly a journalism outlet of the future, is just cold transcribin’ this random guy’s bitter rants about an industry that constantly makes fun of him for being stupid. [Politico]
I thought it died when he got his show.
“Former Arkansas GOP Gov. Mike Huckabee, currently a Fox News talk show host, ripped the media…”
Politico is maybe aware of the irony in this fragment, but even if they don’t, they WIN THE AFTERNOON!
Van Jones “caught with bright red lips”? My ears cannot hear that dog whistle, but I think it must be blowing racisms.
So what if journalism is dead? Everything is dead now. Dead is the new black.
Journalism died when it was smothered by the over-sized sweaty buttocks of Fox News Corp.
“Sadly, journalism is dead,” said Huckabee, as he looked under the pillow at the face of the newly departed.
Better dead than read?
Journalism and now Pete Townsend just told me that rock is dead. Since they say the famous die in threes, what’s next, cinema?
First it was Paul. Now it’s journalism. When will the killing end?
Finally. I was waiting for The Huck to weigh in. Now it’s official.
McDuff: Poetry, last Friday.
McDuff: “what’s next, cinema?”
Poetry. I hope.
Of course Journalism is dead. Poor Huck needs to eat.
“…Bloggers and other supposedly professional journalists…”
See? Right here’s your problem. And Roscoe P Coltraine does not cotton to being blamed for the death of America’s Fourth Estate.
so, um… who’s going to be covering this story?
Apparently for Huck, irony is also dead.
shadowMark: Dead is the new black.
I thought it went more like this:
Sixty = the new forty.
Eighty = the new sixty.
Dead = the new eighty.
And using Huckafuck’s own standards, are we supposed to give a shit about what some asshole that went to a foreign country and badmouthed America thinks?
I thought he was a famous ex-EX-fat person, now? He ate journalism’s corpse.
Huckabee is too stupid to realize that he is invoking Nietsche here, a man that did not even literally meant God is actually (physically dead), but dried up as a source of social wisdom.
Mike Huckabee ist dich.
Jesus, Van Jones was some low level functionary in the Obama administration who if somebody were to actually pay attention, has done a lot of really good things. You’d think with all the attention thrown his way and with all the frothing at the mouth conservatives are doing over him that he’s the the second coming of Alger Hiss if Hiss were also a member of the Black Panthers.
Politico is like the kid at school who thought he was part of the cool, popular crowd just because they paid a little attention to him for awhile. Then when the bullies came calling, he decided it would be safer to fall in with them.
ZOMG
Politico = Peter Pettigrew
The memorial service will be held at Fox HQ, natch, a calm, journalism-free environment.
Godot: I was waiting for The Huck to weigh in.
Got a truck scale?
Of course, journalism is dead. Huck has been digging its grave with a knife and fork.
Today, we are all dead
bitchincamaro: Nice.
Huckabee: Journalism is dead. That’s why I’m on Fox.
Skinny Mike Huckabee is dead…he was eaten by Fat Mike Huckabee with Chuck Norris.
It’s just MOSTLY dead. Put it on life support and the Repugs will keep it alive forever.
V572625694: You want afternoon-winning irony? Look at the headline, then look at the tags.
“Journalism” is the name of the stray dog that David Huckabee lynched at Boy Scout camp. Bad dog!
When may we begin calling him “famous soon-to-be-fat-again person”?
If journalism is dead, it’s because of the bad beating it gave itself between 2001-2008. Death by self-inflicted wound, obvs. It continues its undeath by taking teabaggers seriously.
Journalism has been dead ever since Bill Clinton got a BJ in the Oval Office. I knew Huck was slow, but jeez, that was two Presidents ago.
PlanetWingnuta: you are invoking the Chuckabee!
Come on, Wonketeers, buck up! Journalism will not die until the post-apocalypse zombies pry the qwerty phone out of Meghan’s cold dead fingers.
user-of-owls: Ha ha! Obama dead, like Teddy! Very droll, Politico!
Well, now that that’s settled, I can go back to playing WoW 24/7. Who’s got the Cheetos and furry porn?
Come here a minute: Sounds more like an inter-racial, gay fellatio dog whistle. Could Huck be trying to tell us something?
dr.giraud: Amen. Nothing has quite the cringe capacity as poorly written poetry, with the possible exception of Huckabees fellatio obsessed imagery.
So does this mean we no longer have to watch FOX N00z to get our “Real Journalism”z?
Spam-N-Can: it’s not dead! it’s pining for the fjords!
“No memorial is planned as the practitioners of propaganda seem to be unaware that they have passed away and continue to publish anyway.”
It’s no “nattering nabobs of negativism,” that’s for sure.
At least Huckabee waited until Kennedy was dead to lie about him. The Huckster’s obv the original compassionate cuntservative.
The lying is expected, of course, but the real crime is his horrible writing. If you’re gonna excoriate the press, you’d better be clever about it. I give it a bitterz fat guy fail.
i’m not dead
what did it say?
oh, nothing.
i’m not dead
i think it says it’s not dead.
Well, it will be in a moment. It was coughing up blood last night.
[gong] Bring out yer journalism! [gong]
Also, yes, yes, Hucks fried Journalism and ate it with buttah.
dijetlo: Poorly written Huckabee fellatio poetry?
Whose lips these are I think I know;
His head’s beneath my belly though.
I would not have him cease his work
To satisfy my eyeballs’ quirk.
His lips feel lovely, red and deep;
Thanks, Arkansas, that let me keep
These pages on whom to fall asleep,
These pages on whom to fall asleep.
McDuff: “what’s next, cinema?”
It’s a done deal. My grandson dragged me to Transformers II: Rise of the Dead Cinema.
jasper f. krone: Well, it will be in a moment. It had ink oozing out of every orifice last night.
Fixed that for you.
That little cocksucker. I wish someone would bite one of his fingers off too.
Journalism is dead.
But if you send $10 to Pastor pHuckabee’s Church of the Sacred Bleeding Heart of Jesus, located somewhere in the hills of Arkansas, he’ll beseech the Lord to bring it back to life.
So is God , fatty.
Darkness: I stand by my analogy. But thanks.
Journalism: Huckabee is dead.
Huckabee: see? liberal bias!
Journalism: wtf?
Death: trucknutz! also.
idiot son of an asshole:
pats win!
— Huckabee drew criticism in August for suggesting that, after being diagnosed with a brain tumor, Kennedy would have been told to “go home to take pain pills and die” if he had been covered by President Barack Obama’s proposed health care overhaul. —
So cruel, so false. What Huckabee said was, “Death to Teddy, the Anti-Christ, Satan’s minion of universal health care.”
Quite evident, if you can decipher the Arkansas trailer park lingua franca of monosyllables.
Mike Huckabee hasn’t been ex-fat since he joined the Lannity/Himbaugh network. He’s re-en-fattened.
S.Luggo: “Huckabee drew criticism in August for suggesting that, after being diagnosed with a brain tumor” < < right there. That’s where you need a period.
— 30 –
Lascauxcaveman: I thought the GOP the new dead..
Huckabee stuck a fork in it.
If journalism’s dead, I will not mourn
As long as we have anime and porn
Huck really does favor the late great Richard Milhous Nixon, maybe he should get fat (again) so I am not so confused. When is he going to make the Checkerz speech?
Journalism: Mike Huckabee is dead.
(We’ll print the retraction tomorrow.)
McDuff: Jazz, thanks to those no-good be-boppers killing our music.
Simple typo. That was supposed to be an equal sign, not a colon.
Mike Huckabee = Intelligent politics is dead.
Journalism is alive and well, thank you very much.
