Huckabee Whacks MSNBC, Chris Matthews, And Geithner

Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday, former Arkansas Gov. and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee went immediately after some low hanging comedic fruit.

First it started with the news media (enemy number one in the conservative crowd), including his cable news competitor, MSNBC, and its host Chris Matthews

"Other news outlets have gotten religion recently," said the now-Fox News host. There is the "Oh God channel", he added, "after Chris Matthews finally realized that there was a God and called him out before Bobby Jindal's speech."

Later he went on to call Matthews station "MSBS." The rest of the media wasn't spared. Nor were members of Congress and the administration. Huckabee called Newsweek Magazine, "ObamaWeek," for its favorable covers and coverage of the president, referred to Obama's treasury secretary as "Turbo Tax Geithner," for his failure to pay portions of his income tax. Reflecting later on his long-held belief that the IRS should be abolished, Huckabee concluded that, if it came true: "We would no longer have a tax cheat running the IRS."

better listen Chris.....­........Hu­ckabeen will get chuckles Norris to kick your butt

it's pretty pathetic when you can't tell CPAC from Comedy Central. It is a nice gesture for them to give Huckabee and every other rightwing has-been an extra fifteen minutes...­...just please, please, don't expect us to take these clowns seriously. I really honestly couldn't tell Tina Fey from Sarah Palin, especially what she said. Now we have Romney and Huckabee doing characature skits of themselves. Should we laugh or cry?...oh, I know, if you're a Democrat, you laugh; if your a republican, you cry.

Most of us never took Huckabee any more seriously than Palin. However, I had taken Jindal seriously. What a terrible disappointment! If the GOP wants to win, they must find a person who not only convinces Republicans but Democrats as well. So far, I can't see anyone like that.

10,000 comedians outta work, Huck, and you're doin' it for nuthin.

This is a guy who believes that an invisible sky daddy made a man out of dirt and his wife out of a rib. And I'm gonna listen to THIS guy?

[Hank10303]

Well Huckabee you have just lost your last shred of credibility. You've joined the rethugs for political gain. PARTY FIRST

[Unsui]

Wanna know what's crazy? Huckabee is probably one of the last R's left with some grasp of reality. According to NPR he cautioned the whack job Right not demonize Obama as a political strategy. I mean: at least the guy can read and, apparently, understand the polling numbers.

Gomer Pyle is such a phony. He says he is a minister, yet he spews hatred in the form of lame jokes. Remember when he joked about somone shooting at Obama? That was as funny as child molesters.

That is funny! LOL Love me some Huckabee. I didn't know he is was so funny until his new Fox Show. His ratings, as ALL Fox News programs, are thru the roof. ; -)
If he runs again in 2012, he will have more people knowing who he is....that will only help him.

Fact: Sean Hannity -- an unapologetic pit bull for the right -- rose 38% (to nearly 2.8 million) now that he's shed former co-host Alan Colmes. Harsh, but..... and I like Colmes.

If I ever need a brain transplant, I hope it comes from a Republican, so I know it's never been used.

Huckabee..­...the country told you in the primaries where they thought of you.......­..so, you may feel powerful speaking to the fools at CPAC, but the rest of us, the thinking, functioning Americans.­......we enjoy forgetting about you.

Huckabee's a whack

[roblabrousse]

This CPAC meeting seemed more like a roast of everything non Republican, Ultra- RIght Conservative. There seems to be nothing of true content coming out of this group. Nothing constructive. It only underscores their moral and ideological bankruptcy . It appears that their only function now is criticism, criticism and more criticism. Where is the vision? Their political ego has collapsed. There never was true substance to support it otherwise all this negative behavior would not be so rampant. People of character worth do not spend their time tearing people down.
