It was a pretty amazing journey for Mike Huckabee. Was it worth it? Absolutely. No doubt the guy gets a talk show out of this. He's great TV, plus he's got a great story with his phenomenal weight loss. Indeed, The Biggest Loser may end up the Big Winner.
Now let's take a look at his journey...
Mo Rocca has appeared on a bunch of shows, including 'The Daily Show,' 'I Love the 80s,'...

5. So, you see? There *is* a God.
How do you like it, Susan dear?
What, you running away from a good fight?
Tsk. And here I was sizing you as an opponent.
You, Susan, are nothing but a Blithering Coward.
*sigh*
What a disappointment.
Well, I am happy that Fuckabee is going back to where it belongs to: Oblivion St. at Ridicule Lane.
Spain does it and does to whom you know it does it, Roccats!

6. Is it just me or do most candidates always have to carry a musical instrument with them at some point in their campaigns? I mean, a guitar? Sheesh, and I thought Bill Clinton's saxophone playing was just a bit absurd.

7. It was fun while it lasted for Huck and Chuck. Who are we going to get to tell Hillary it's over? She got the Republicans to vote for her in Texas. She's becoming the Sanjaya of this year's election. She is actually beginning to believe that America would vote for a Clinton Third Term of Corruption? Are the votes fixed in this election like they seem to be on Idol? Sanjaya eventually went home. Hucklebee seems more like the one hit wonder William Hung singing "She Bang." Soon we will all be saying, "What was his name?" That's all for him. He was a Huckabeen after Iowa.

8. Maybe Chuck Norris could run for office as a candidate for the Whig Party. Get it? He wears a wig.
Sputnik Nick at 6:06AM on Mar 6th 2008
9. Seeing the candidate "rockin!" on stage with their musical instrument is right up there with seeing a "SEXY GRANPA" t-shirt at a bar-b-que....ewwwww!
Sputnik Nick,
Chuck, wearing a wig? I JUST repaired my "face"! The tears...the tears...
Well, Mike Huckabee and I have learned from the brightest and the best how to look "fresh" and move forward with our best face on..and now you can too.....

sorry DameBuddyBoo, I bent your silverwear...I get a tad greedy when I dig into the Godiva..:(
ah, Clem at 7:06AM on Mar 6th 2008
10. Aw Mo,
I was one of those political junkies who never was enamored with Huckabee. True, he came off a bit loose and funny, but it was an act, and while the timing was okay, the jokes were a bit pat.
And besides, I don't care if you are Robin Williams; if you want to go aligning the Constitution with the Bible, you scare the hell out of me. Just glance at Leviticus 20 (TMTH).
Blayze, you are right. What's up with McCain carrying that concertina with him everywhere he goes. Oh, wait, I'm thinking of Louie LeBeau.
Clem, glad you decided to come down and join us for breakfast as a family.
Miguel: I kind of liked the Mary Richards side of you too. Perhaps you can strike a balance, say, the way J.Lo did her nursery...snakeskin and cashmere.
JG:)

11. off topic...
as for the Mary Tyler Moore Show...watched as a kid.I miss that show so much...that last "feel good" show in a long time for me...
Lou Grant= J. Giza hands down...(that's a compliment)
me, I really relate to Sue Ann!
ah, Clem at 10:44AM on Mar 6th 2008
12. Actually Mo,
I think McCain only won A.I. on the wave of one of those Oscars Lifetime Achievement Awards.
I would have loved to see Huckabee go up against
Danny Noriega.
For Huckabee dial 1-463-926-8763 (1-God Wants Me)
For Danny N. dial 1-666-463-8684 (1-666-God TMTH)
Vote Now!

13. Dear John:
I am usually more like Mary Richards.
It's just that I intensely dislike snooty holier than thou people.
That brings out the Jungle Red out of me.
Spain reads you, Roccats.

14. COMING UP NEXT ON AMERICAN IDOL:
Barack Obama performs the entrancing scene from Verdi's "Otello"--"E slavo!"
And
Hillary Clinton performs the Dance of the Seven Veils from R. Strauss's "Salome."
But first, a word from our sponsor, Chuck Norris, on the Tooth and Ab Blaster.
JG^^
p.s. Me too, Miguel.
John Giza at 11:19AM on Mar 6th 2008
15. Hold on to those letters and postcards friends.
That was a typo.
I meant "E Salvo."
JG :(
