Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has made oodles of gaffes in recent days, but here's one more blunder for Iowa's caucasians to ponder before they caucus:
CNN: Presidential candidates relaunch Letterman and Leno showshttp://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/TV/01/02/hollywoodlabor.latenight.ap/index.html
The return of TV's late-night funnymen after a two-month strike hiatus turned into a bizarre mix of picketing and presidential politics Wednesday as Mike Huckabee headed for Jay Leno's show and Clinton turned to Letterman.
GOP hopeful Huckabee appeared confused over which of the two late-night hosts had reached a separate deal with the union representing striking TV and movie writers.
Huckabee said he supports the writers and did not think he would be crossing a picket line, because he believed the writers had made an agreement to allow late-night shows on the air...
Late Wednesday, the Writers Guild of America issued a statement saying that the guild "thanks the former governor for his strong statement of support for striking writers and hopes that he will not cross the picket lines at NBC."
However, Huckabee appeared on the show despite the calls from the striking writers, according to NBC.
Do we really want a president who can't even figure out which TV host signed a deal with the WGA? How can he be expected to understand the complexities of the Middle East if he can't grasp Dave vs. Jay?
Alternatively, maybe he and his advisors knew precisely the status of Leno's striking writers and Huckabee was simply lying his ass off. Haven't we had our fill of that too?
