Mike Huckabee Compares WMDs To...Uhm...Easter Eggs? (Really? Really?)

Was going to war in Iraq worth it? According to Mike Huckabee, who faced this question at tonight's debate, the answer is "Oh, gosh, yes!" President Bush showed tremendous courage in the way he deceived, inveigled and obfuscated - lying to the nation about the threat Iraq posed, constantly conflating Saddam Hussein with the 9-11 terrorists, warning the nation with keening melodramatics about imminent threats and mushroom clouds at a time when the Iraqi military lacked the infrastructure to imminently threaten us with a fingerpainting of a mushroom or a cloud! It was all so brave and heroic!

And what about the whole whoopsie-daisy, look-at-that-wontcha, turned out there weren't no Weapons of Mass Duh in Iraq after all? Not a problem, says the Huck: "Now everybody can look back and say, 'Oh, well, we didn't find the weapons.' Doesn't mean they weren't there. Just because you didn't find every Easter egg didn't mean that it wasn't planted."

Really. Watch it for yourself.

Now, by now, you're of course wondering: "Doesn't this crazy "Easter Egg" idea provide the rationale to just invade anybody, anywhere in the world?" Of course it does! Remember, Huckabee's big problem with Bush is his "bunker" mentality, which he proposes replacing with his own, totally effing MENTAL mentality! Anyway, suck it, Easter Bunny! Mike Huckabee's Jesus and Chuck Norris are going to straight up ruin you!

Yes yes yes. Keep the crazy coming. Please oh please nominate someone who is still back at talking points that the general populace rejected years ago before they finally rejected the whole insane disaster of an invasion altogether.

Please be tied as inextricably as possible to Bush and this catastrophe that virtually everyone hates, in other words please yes steadfastly court the remaining tiny percentage of die-hard Bush supporters, so the Democratic nominee can have the other 80%.

In other words please be McCain or Huckabee or any of the other current front-runners, if we can use that term here, since they're all running backwards at the speed of light. Or in Hucakbee's case since he probably doesn't believe in that, at whatever horse-drawn speed his literal interpretations allow.

This is my prayer, and it seems to be closer to being answered every day.

Good article, Jason....

When I need a laugh, I can usually count on an article about Huchster to provide one !!!

When, oh WHEN, will this idiot drop out of the GOP race ??? (Although I WILL miss the laughs!!)

Supreme Court material, guilty without any physical evidence!

I guess Iran must be guilty too!

Notice that Huckleberry NEVER wore the uniform of the United States and NEVER served this nation as any part of the military. He is just another feckless CHICKENHAWK, a coward who would gladly send YOUR son or daughter into combat while making sure HE never got close to the sound of warfare. His just another Republican COWARD and listening to him all but made my want to puke my Vietnam Veteran's guts out.

It interesting that he mentioned that "just because you didn't find every Easter egg didn't mean that it wasn't planted" which means... they were planted?

It's a sad commentary on those evangelicals who have flocked to Huckabee's standard, as he seems to lie, bear false witness, etc. all the time. Then again, they would worship the anti-christ if he railed against gays and supported their gun rights (hmmm... which given their bloodlust, maybe they are).

Huckleberry Bibleboy and all of the candidates on both sides should be required by law to submit to a full-blown psychological evaluation. It is simply incomprehensible that any person who will potentially lead the most powerful and aggresive military in the history of the world could be a sociopath and nothing, short of impeachment, could be done about it.

GWB, the chimpster, clearly would have failed any realistic examination of his ability to determine reality from fantasy. Coincidentally, many of his followers lack the same propensity for lucid thought.

Huck cant be president, ever see the wife? She looks like a linebacker in drag, and the kids? They're worse. Dad may have gone on a diet, but not the rest of them. It would be an excrutiating 4 years to watch them on the news.

According to the Pentagon, the Iraqis don't know how to make Explosively Formed Penetrators (only those wily Persians). Yet somehow, they knew how to make enough weapons of mass destruction to wipe out all of western civilization. Doesn't quite add up.

Huckabee does something that is very dishonest. He lied about the whole Chuck Norris thing by making a stupid joke. He takes out an attack ad, then says it was wrong to do so, then he shows the video to a roomfull of reporters. He insulted the King of Jordan by implying that Saddam hid his wmd in Jordan.....etc. This guy never says what he means, and rarely means what he says.
His statement concerning the fair tax was hugely disrespectful and irresponsible. It went like this:

Everybody gets in the economy. No more underground economy...drug dealers, prostitutes, pimps, gamblers, NON REPUBLICANS.
This was an obvious ploy for the fundie vote, and the so-called moral majority.
In his sleaze-ball way of saying things without really saying them, he implied that all drug dealers and pimps and prostitutes and gamblers were all democrats, or liberals.
I guess he doesn't think state lottos are gambling. I guess he disagrees with Jesus and Mary Magdellane(sp) a prostitute. Drug dealers?? Like Tami-Flu? Or big pharma? Pimps? Like himself for pimping bush's war?

Rethug Barrow and Spend on war profiteering when they run things.

Newt and his fanatics bankrupt our US government "till they can drowned it a bathtub" as they so gleefully say.

Conservatism is dead, revealing to be anti-life, anti reason, fascist corporatism.

Conservative republicans have been putting cronies above country for decades, and the "Mob" be damned.

Now, if only the rethugs didn't own the media.

And as the joke goes, ... "Christ came out of the cave after three days, ... saw his shadow and went back in for six more weeks!" Easter Egg Hunt? No Mike, ... We're talking the very WMD that Valerie Plame was in place to track and reveal to us!

Huckabee is a fool, and is as feckless as Bush, or worse. Shut up Mike, before you embarass yourself further!

The 6000 year old man can say anything he wants. It doesn't matter.
He's going nowhere.

Well, golly gee, Huckabee. You've had five gosh-darn years to locate these "easter eggs". I suppose you'll admit the truth whenever heck freezes over.
