Huckabee's Muzzle Control Problem

Republican Mike Huckabee took his presidential campaign for a quick pheasant-hunting expedition in Iowa on Wednesday, and at one point, a reporter asked why he hadn't invited sporting enthusiast Dick Cheney along. "Because I want to survive all the way through this," Huckabee replied, in a chuckling dig at the vice president's accidental shooting of a quail-hunting partner last year.

Any good sportsman, though, couldn't miss a distinctly Cheneyesque moment in the press accounts of the former Arkansas governor's morning hunt: At one point, Huckabee's party turned toward a cluster of reporters and cameramen and, when they kicked up a pheasant, fired shotgun blasts over the group's heads.

This, friends, is dangerously bad hunting form.

Huck and Rudy and Mitt should all make their appearances in the next few days by being hooked up to lie detectors which are visible online so the people of IOWA can
see them in action and at the same time see how the machine identifies what they say as
a CONSCIOUS LIE. IOWA is unimpressed with all these hack canned ads that just send political contributions to the tv stations which are already loaded. Iowa want
to see their LIES MEASURED
AND DOCUMENT in
..........real time....online

One question is especially
relevant to Huck the Hunter:
How many Ducks have you
killed Huck? IOWA wants to know how many? follow up
How many of these thousands of Ducks were ever eaten
by human beings, Huck? follow up..What exactly is the point, Huck? When you campaign across America and see lakes without any DUCKS
AT ALL, do you ever stop and think HEY THAT IS BECAUSE
I knocked them off?
........IOWA Republicans
are not especially sympathetic to this HUCK?
Try this time to tell the truth like you did about the
floating cross, Huck!!

Huckabee's hunting prowess was admired by Iowa's Amish men, but they still ain't stickin' those damn bumper stickers on the horse's a$$...it'd be REDUNDANT!

DUCKS AGAINST HUCK UNITED
NEWSFLASH for the world

It is understood Huck is on the move
and has hired a cook from Peking
who cooks his favorite dish --
you guessed it -- Peking Duck.

If everyone who sees Huck pointing
his rifle skyward will just
scream out -- FIRE!!! RAPE!!
that will tip off the ducks above who know
its best to zig zag and fly away fast

Huck is smart. If he doesn't win the nomination he wants the others to know he's qualified to be vice president.

There once was a hunter named Huck
Who slogged through the Iowa muck
He thought twould be pleasant
To shoot him a pheasant
But he just made reporters cry "dang!".

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Does Huck remind anyone else of Gomer from Andy Griffith. I can just picture him with that funny hat running out of the mechanics shop. Or was that Goober? Either way.

Huck made a joke about Cheney and shooting his friend when he should have invited Cheney instead. While Cheney shoots face first Huck goes after those who might write anything about him, any thing! I am amazed that this wasn't news it self as I would think all those hunters and people he is trying to show his man balls to would see him for whohe is. A "real hunter" knows safety first otherwise hunting season would kill off a majority of them.

Isn't it illegal to threaten to shoot other candidates?

Hey, it is all a misunderstanding. The huckster thought he was invited to go peasant hunting.

I would like to see the 6000 year old man shove that shotgun up his ass.

The headline on this story should be "Huckabee Shoots at Reporters; Unfortunately Misses."

Ask yourself this: what kind of idiot excuse for a journalist would go out into the winter Iowa fields to take pictures of a Repig candidate hunting pheasants? I really think it's too bad Huck didn't wing a couple of them.

You're absolutely correct. The very, very first thing anyone who has ever taken a firearms training class learns is that you always keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction. That rule is drilled into your head over and over again as well it should be. So many morons like Huckabee and Cheney have just never learned proper hunting or firearm safety because of their arrogance. That's why people end up getting shot in the face "accidentally".
