Mike Huckabee, Meet Ann Coulter

Who knew the aw' shucks Baptist preacher and Governor of Arkansas, with those deep dimples and chiclet teeth, was Ann Coulter's soul mate? I know, I know, Mike Huckabee has a wife, and even though Coulter doesn't (have a husband, that is), I'm not suggesting anything a-Biblical. On the contrary, Huckabee and Coulter are Christo-politico soul mates, pure in their shared vision for America.

Thanks to Matt Drudge dredging up some old words of Huckabee's we know for sure where he wants to take the nation. In 1998, at a meeting of southern pastors in Salt Lake City, Huckabee was explaining why he left the pulpit for the political hustings. "I hope we answer the alarm clock and take this nation back for Christ," he told the crowd. I know it was almost a decade ago, but I don't think he'll be flip-flopping on that one. And why should he? He's in the good company of fellow traveler Coulter, who must have been praising the heavens when she saw the old, but good news about Huckabee today.

In October, Ann Coulter told talk show host Donny Deutsch that her perfect world would look like New York City during the 2004 Republican National Convention. Coulter said, "People were happy. They're Christian. They're tolerant. They defend America ..." When Deutsch, who happens to be Jewish, asked if we should all be Christian, Coulter twice said, "yes," then explained, "Well, it's a lot easier. It's kind of a fast track. ..You have to obey. ..We just want Jews to be perfected, as they say. That is what Christianity is. We believe the Old Testament, but ours is more like Federal Express."

Federal Express? She lost me there, but Huckabee probably gets it. Christian Nation. Perfecting Jews. They must be writing each other's lines.

Here's an idea. Ann could do an Oprah for Mike. Despite showing her fascist underwear on Deutsch's show, she probably still draws a good crowd. They could summon the masses in Iowa and New Hampshire and christen a new movement: "Christian Nationalism." Wouldn't that just be perfect?

Huckster and Man, great team maybe they can rent a tent and go on tour.

But what I want to know what do Ann and Hucky feel should be done about the KBR/Halliburton "Gang Rapes 'R' Us" division?

a) Have a Bible Study with them, and then give 'em another trillion or so

b) Claim that KBR/Halliburton's treatment of Jamie Liegh Jones was OK because "She wasn't REAL she was just a secretary....and can't have been a Good Christian Woman (tm) if she was *working* (nudge nudge, wink wink)" While this is the same excuse for why it was OK to out Valerie Plame, really, it can be used to discredit any female whistleblower, no matter how many criminal acts she can demonstrate.

c) take over the entire middle east, blow it all to Kingdom Come, take ALL the Oil, and declare it a "Big Win" for Jesus.

d) all of the above

The "Federal Express" comment, I'm guessing, has something to do with going to heaven faster. However, if Coulter's version of heaven is accurate, I'll take hell, thank you very much.

They have vision??????? NOT!!!!!!

[whimsicalpig]

what frightens me the most about Huckabee is his belief in a literal interpretation of the bible.

He is a 6000 year man and denies the viability of evolution as a functioning scientific theory.

A guy who can close off his brain to a whole section of data simply on faith is not the guy I want in controll of anything important like:

my life, nuclear weapons, the economy, etc.

we've had 7+ years of a tunnel-visioned ideoloque, do we really want more of the same.

So...who do the repubs have left? Romney is a religious hack and a racist, Huckabee is a zealot, a racist and a "woman should know her place" sexist, Guiliani is a crook, a liar, a braggart and a cheat(who else can't picture his sleazy "newest" wife as first lady??). So that leaves McCain and Thompson...Okay, so Thompson makes Reagan look spry...that leaves "beat the war drums" McCain. Sorry crowd, really.

Anyone interested in what Huckabee is really like face to face should try this funny (but it actually happened) column:

Ann is no fan of hucky's ...revealed at the collegiate press corp conference (something like that) last week. it was on cspan.

she wouldn't vote for any of them except paul.

and that isn't a high endorsement for paul fans.

I'm not sure why this is happening - but this country is trying to turn into a theocracy. There are huge numbers of people who believe in the fusion of church and state. Before - it had to be sub rosa; now Huckabee campaigns as a "Christian" candidate. The rights of minorities - religious and otherwise - seem to be of little interest. Huckabee has a way of making the point in a more charming way - but if you check out his views, he is a right wing zealot. There's a book (the name of the author escapes me) about this being a country of sheep. We are the best educated, the most tech and media savvy, and the richest populace. Why have we become sheep (present company excepted)? Bill Maher - where are you?

[Malkintent]

Keith Olbermann just quoted Hucakbee as writing "women should submit to their husband's authority", so Ann would have to agree to play second fiddle, so to speak.

[Qbear]

No Huckabee really shines with PERFECTING the gays with AIDS. Round em up and send them to the CAMPs, then cut their funding for meds.
Let them quickly die,... out of sight, alone, and uncared for.

and he's the Christan minister?

Jesus! save me from your followers.

Ze oldt tschermanz used to have a saying,
'when two people are fighting, the third one
is happy'. Christian vs. Islam=keep people
turned against each other, and cash in like
mad dogs. And, remember, Coulter's more man
than any liberal...but does that mean she's
volunteering for the Army? Oooo, get the video
camera...Pvt. Coulter will now work with Pvt.
Limbaugh, and show us all how to set up an
Army tent...withOUT the Halliburton helpers...
No, Ann, you hold the hammer like THIS...see?


Keep an eye on the door, and one hand on your
wallet, kids...

Huckabee would not be my choice because he voted to give free tuition to the children of illegal immigrants. What really bothers me is that my daughter, of legal middle class citizens, has a whopping student loan to pay off. How is that fair? Does he hate his own kind? Oh, excuse me, he's not middle class, he's rich.
