Happy New Year

Here’s to a happy, healthy, productive and prosperous 2008 for all! I know that’ll be tough for my liberal friends who tend to be miserable, can’t be healthy without national health care, don’t appreciate productivity, especially as it relates to economic prosperity and will hopefully get stomped at the polls in...

Huckabee: Too Clever By Half

Update: Hmm. They claimed to have decided to not run negative ads just ten minutes before the event, hence the negative posters were still up. But they cancelled the ad hours earlier. Doesn’t the Bible say something about not lying?

An official at KCRG-TV9 TV9 in Cedar Rapids confirmed that the station...

Huckabee’s God Problem

A less than flattering piece on Huckabee in the LA Times cuts to the heart of Huckabee’s "God" problem. You can read anecdotes about his holding up insurance legislation because it contained the words "an act of God" to define a natural disaster after a cyclone hit Arkansas. But it’s actually...

Citizens for Legal Responsibility On Jay Grodner

Glenn Reynolds links to a Blackfive item alleging that attorney Jay Grodner keyed a Marines car in Chicago.

Grodner’s name also pops pop up on this list. In and of itself, it doesn’t mean anything. But it’s interesting he would turn up on a limited lists of attorneys who may have had...

For God’s Sake, Stop Whining If You Want To Lead The Free World

I watched the Huckabee Meet The Press interview, where Russert seemed to let Huckabee go on longer about his complaints with Romney than I thought necessary. I tuned in to learn more about Huckabee, not listen to him whine. Netcast here.

Now, Mike Huckabee wants an apology from Mitt...

Thanks God She Didn’t Say Jews, Or Blacks

I guess Hillary wants to be the President for the children, so long as Mommy or Daddy doesn’t lobby for a living.

It seems whenever she focuses in on what a tight race she’s facing, Hillary Clinton always overreaches. The "children" of lobbyists? Geesh! Maybe we should start building special restrooms...

Punditry, Punditry Everywhere

Just one example of how many and how disparate are the headlines on Iowa today. Scan RCP’s headlines and you can read Romney controls his own destiny, or Romney is toast. Ha!

Huckabee has gotten past his call for Jesus-like politics and has started to attack. I don’t know if it’s because...

Pakistan Turmoil Continues

Rioting is continuing in Pakistan and none of the news is very good. A Bhutto supporter was killed by masked gunmen, bringing the death toll to thirty-three. The Al-Qaeda-linked leader who the government said was behind Bhutto’s assassination is denying responsibility and Bhutto’s party, the PPP, is not buying the government’s...

Dole Blasts Huckabee – Romney Up In Iowa?

I’m not sure what to make of Bob Novak’s latest report, at least as far as a privately commissioned poll goes. It has Romney up over Huckabee and Fred Thompson at 1%. The claimed sample size is fifteen thousand, which is huge. Given that the actual poll may not be released,...

Bolton Denies Huckabee Claim

As if Huckabee needed another ouch right now given the way the press seems to be turning. But this one should sting, particularly as so many on the Right hold Bolton in high regard.

In recent days, Mike Huckabee has tried to answer long-standing questions about who is on his foreign policy...

Huck-amania Running Wild But In Reverse

There seems to be no end to the negative stories coming out about former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee today.

A dangerous hunter?

Taking money from sources that could get him into trouble with Right to Life groups?

Not knowing his butt from his elbow on International affairs?

I guess the blush is off the...

Anti-gun Ad In Iowa?

Why would a NYC Mayor Bloomberg funded group be running an anti-gun ad in Iowa?

Ad here. It looks more like a shot across the bow of the Democrat campaigns than anything else. I doubt the people of Iowa will be persuaded.

But the campaigns haven’t been talking gun control, not in Iowa,...
