The Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has a lot on his plate, starting with building on his caucus win in Iowa and trying to raise some money to help him stay competitive through an intense primary season. But somehow, despite his busy schedule, he is making time for the late-night talk show circuit.

Mr. Huckabee flew to Los Angeles on Wednesday to sit on Jay Leno's couch and play the bass guitar on "The Tonight Show." He entered the NBC studio through a side door to avoid a picket line of striking Writers Guild of America members.

Will you be a lousy scab or will you be a man.

A writer has no more claim to downstream income than a set designer or a caterer, they are all just components in a complex business process that involves many people in many roles, from Janitor to Financier...

Thanks for letting us know. I wish Huckabee all the luck in the world. One thing you have to say for him, he knows how to play to the camera. As political animal, he's definitly homo erectus.

I hope he knows what he's in for playing Will Lee's bass. Here's an appropriate tune from Will's new album. It's called:

Dave, you're a dog lover. Ask him about the dog his son ( at 18 years old) did to the dog. Hung, slit his throat and stoned him to death. Makes Jenna and Barbara seem charming.

Come on Letterman, have some fun. He is a walking bulls eye. Only people that are contaminated with religion think he has any values.

No matter which door he entered, when he appeared on Leno he crossed a picket line. He claimed ignorance to the fact that it is a struck show but aids claim he had been informed. MIKE to UNIONS..... HUCK OFF!!

"People like the real thing. If a Democrat pretending to be a Republican runs against a real Republican, people vote for the Republican."...Harry Truman

Huck actually lived in a trailer [manufactured home]. Huck is the real thing.

The media is going to make this man the next President. Already we're getting the "he's such a downhome guy" message. Reminds me of someone else the media loved. We won't get fooled again... will we?

Huck is savvy at using free media. Huck spent less than 500,000 in Iowa. Hillary and Romney each spent 9 million. Obama 3 million.

Huck's message is a good one. What American needs is more guns and more Jesus. Where did I hear that slogan before?
