Huckabee’s Think Tank Is Tanking

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Your last blog thing on MSNBC was posted at 9:50 a.m. Friday, a few hours before you collapsed while doing voiceovers for Sunday’s Meet the Press.

In any case, while they shop for new hamsters for the exercise wheel that apparently powers Wonkette’s web server, we will continue to try to post a few things, maybe, until we give up and start drinking because what the hell, it’s 5 o’clock on a Friday. Also, we sent this “I’m Sorry” card to all of you, individually, but don’t get upset if you don’t receive it, because everything’s broken.
