Politicians = Stupid

Mike Huckabee edition:

The U.S. shouldn't try to kill Saddam Hussein in Iraq, Mike Huckabee declared when he first ran for office. No women in combat anywhere. No gays in the military. No contributions in politics to candidates more than a year before an election. His statements are among 229 answers Huckabee offered as a 36-year-old Texarkana pastor during his first run for political office in 1992. In that unsuccessful race against Sen. Dale Bumpers, Huckabee offered himself as a social conservative and listed "moral decay" as one of the top problems facing the country.

OK, a redneck governor spewing redneck-ed-ness is no big surprise. That he would want to soften the tone of some of these statements is no big surprise, either. But the stupid! It burns!

Earlier this year, Huckabee said, "Nobody's going to find some YouTube moments of me saying something radically different than what I'm saying today."

No, Mike. We know you're a redneck and a knuckle-dragger. Which is why you won't be the second President from Arkansas.
