If Huck opens his new radio show with a live performance of him jamming on "My City Was Gone", then I'll take back every mean thing I've ever said about that hound dog-looking motherfucker.

huckabee has got the carson daly my-diet-has-made-me-look-like-death thing going on.

Repeating myself again, but the thing Huckabee did that I liked was defend Obama in 2008 during the Wright pile-on--he had (from his perspective) every reason not to, and I don't think it was an insignificant gesture. I don't want to overstate his case, though. I can't remember specifics, but there was some incident earlier this year, or maybe last year, where he took the predictably easy way out.

My theory on this is that people really fucking hate ads in particular, so I'm not sure how this is going to help anyway.

I guess I should go vote today...apparently there's some push to get Obama more votes in the Dem primary than the winner gets in the Republican primuhzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Priorities USA Action, a super PAC supporting the president’s re-election, will report $2 million in February donations, group officials said, including $1 million from the television host Bill Maher.

also Romney is apparently out-polling Santorum there? cRaZy/

Meaning, can I vote in the Republican primary if I want? I believe so.

love and hate would both be way too strong -- how about "is not really enthused by"

So what's going on? Romney is getting pasted or...?

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 02:12 (twelve years ago) link

3rd place in both states, but the margins aren't huge.

Santorum projected to win Alabama; leads in MS

Carlos Pollomar (WmC), Wednesday, 14 March 2012 02:17 (twelve years ago) link

Romney might crack 30% in MS, which is kind of win?

Romney making statements about how Santorum is at the "desperate end" of his campaign, and Trump is calling for S to get out of the race (ha). Don't think these guys realize that that kind of stuff is EXACTLY what will get Santorum's base fired up to go out and vote for him - - - the insiders and the MEDIA are telling you your vote doesn't count and you should just stay home and let Mitt Romney win already! etc.

I honestly don't know what would make dead white Mississippians like my father and father-in-law spin in their graves faster -- the country electing a black man President in 2008, or Mississippi Republicans voting for a Catholic nominee this year.

Carlos Pollomar (WmC), Wednesday, 14 March 2012 02:56 (twelve years ago) link

lol. interracial marriage still a huge problem in the South, not even among out-and-out racists. I have good friends who are irked by the notion because they're all raised to believe the Bible says it shouldn't be done.

most def. but i would've guessed that the same politics at play in the Delta (i.e. getting Obama OUT supersedes a vote for Jesus) would have translated to AL's bb.

though i guess if you're super-duper racist, Newt's definitely spit better game than the other two

SANTO!!

lag∞n, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 04:34 (twelve years ago) link

so has anyone pointed out th nick cage/santorum resemblance, particularly in how they speak? Drives me nuts whenever I catch a santorum speech, but I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere.

Clay, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 04:46 (twelve years ago) link

clemenza - someone released under Huck's "follow Jesus, and you get early parole for horrible shit" program was indirectly blamed for Maurice Clemens(?) for murdering several cops in Lakewood WA in 2010 I think. Huck's response was to just dismiss it. Is that what you're referring to?

I'll say this much: President Sarah Palin would literally send me looking for alternatives to citizenship. But something about a President Santorum, while equally frightening, is kind of intriguing. The country would be cast into this totally crazy culture war carnival atmosphere, 24/7. It'd be exhausting, and likely the end of us all, but it'd be a fun ride.

Whatever, GWB was equally craven and stupid as either of those people and he was President for 8 years. A lot of people said they'd leave the country; I actually did

Mackro -- it was this:

http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/01/huckabee-questions-obama-birth-certificate-claims-he-was-raised-in-kenya/

After acquitting himself so well on Wright in 2008, that was disappointing/appalling.

clemenza, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 12:34 (twelve years ago) link

Huh just assumed that would also be a Onion article.

It is shit like that which actually gives me the creeps when it comes to America.

a hoy hoy, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 12:47 (twelve years ago) link

xpost But Santorum's priorities are just so nuttily out of sync with the modern world. GWB destroyed the economy, went to war, etc. Santorum would, like, re-outlaw sodomy for everyone. Within weeks the Capitol would get its first ever protest blow-job-in.

Tracer, it's hard to leave the country. How did you pull that off? Where did you go? Did you move, or change citizenship?

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 12:48 (twelve years ago) link

The columnist looks like a regular Applebee's patron.

I found a foreign patsy willing to marry me. I didn't even have to pay her!!

Still a US citizen though so I can vote against these fuckers from afar

Ah, see, so you're still paying US taxes. etc. Us folks with wives and anchor babies here, we have to be judicious about threats to leave the country. Which is why I leave it to Palin as my low-bar.

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 12:53 (twelve years ago) link

If Palin ever becomes president, I'm hereby threatening to move to your country--that's something I'd just have to experience up close.
