Filed under: Mike Huckabee, Squirrels

GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee shared on Meet the Press today that, while in college, he fried squirrels in a popcorn popper in his dorm room — and ate them. He said the squirrels didn’t taste like chicken. They tasted like squirrels.

It’s pandemonium on the ground in Iowa, as jolly Mike Huckabee has squished into a jet to fly off to chat with Jay Leno. In his place actor Chuck Norris has started doing interviews in which he routinely calls Mitt Romney a sissy. And he really, truly has been proudly toting the number of people Huckabee has murdered over his lifetime.

so-huckabee.jpgThat former fatty is smart as sin. From what we know, Iowans seem like just the types to tune in to The Tonight Show on its first night back from the big writer’s strike. Don’t they? Percentage-wise, Huckabee will be able to reach more of those hayseeds in a single guffawing appearance with that stilted Leno than he ever could spending a long cold snowy night knocking on the doors of kissing cousins.

Oh, and to our one fan in Iowa, we don’t mean you.

Filed under: Religion, Mike Huckabee, Ichthys

huckabee-icthys.jpgIn his latest campaign ad, GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee appears in front of an ichthys, or an ancient religious symbol resembling a fish, which is well-known in evangelical circles as the symbol used by early Christians to secretly identify one another without attracting persecution.

In his pre-Christmas campaign spot, the former Arkansas governor drew mixed blessings when he appeared in front of a bookshelf that was spotlighted to purposely look like a cross.

“The purpose of these ads is to highlight the things that truly matter — while underscoring my conservative record of leadership and my vision for America moving forward,” Huckabee said in a news release on Tuesday. “As we enter the closing days of the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses, there are a lot of things being said on television and sent to mailboxes across the Hawkeye State. I urge Iowans to look beyond the rhetoric and seek the truth about my record and optimistic plans for our nation’s future.”

And, apparently, behind the rhetoric lies only Christian symbolism.

huckabee-mad.JPGGOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee dislikes bad press more than the average politician, according to several letters leaked to The New Republic, in which Huckabee displays highly-charged vindictive words toward journalists who covered him while he served as the state’s governor.

“I was just astounded at how vindictive he was,” Joan Duffy, who covered Huckabee for the Memphis Commercial Appeal, is quoted as saying. “He took it all so personally. You’re either with him, or you’re a mortal enemy.”

One of set of letters are described in the article as “multi-page, rambling, and highly personal attacks that Huckabee wrote while in Arkansas office.” They refer to “the [weekly] Arkansas Times as ‘a local version of the National Enquirer,’ a ‘collection of carping columnists,’ a ‘newsletter for the Democrats,’ an ‘irrelevant irritant’ and the ‘Theater of the Absurd.’”

In another correspondence to Max Brantley, the editor of the newspaper, Huckabee wrote, “I frankly don’t give a rat’s rear as to your regard for me as a public official, because you apparently will never overcome your boorish behavior toward those whose opinions you cannot challenge on a responsible or intellectual basis.”

Tipsters are writing in to Big Head DC to let us know that in the latest Mike Huckabee campaign ad (below), there appears to be a secret endorsement from Jesus Christ himself. Indeed, above Huckabee’s right shoulder, a glowing cross appears soon after the video begins. Some might say it’s just a reflection of light off a nearby bookcase; others might suggest an intervention from God. Full video: Read more…

Filed under: Mitt Romney, Religion, Mike Huckabee

huckabee-family.JPGGOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has long said that he thought it was up to Mitt Romney to explain his beliefs about Mormonism, but now Huckabee, an ordained Southern Baptist Minister, is raising questions about the religion that some are pundits are already calling a racist cult.

According to an article to be published in Sunday’s New York Times Magazine, Huckabee asks the following question after saying he believes Mormonism is a religion but doesn’t know much about it: “Don’t Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?”

A spokeswoman for the Church of Latter-day Saints told the AP that Huckabee’s question is usually “raised by those who wish to smear the Mormon faith rather than clarify doctrine.”

“We believe, as other Christians believe and as Paul wrote, that God is the father of all,” said the spokeswoman, Kim Farah. “That means that all beings were created by God and are his spirit children. Christ, on the other hand, was the only begotten in the flesh and we worship him as the son of God and the savior of mankind. Satan is the exact opposite of who Christ is and what he stands for.”

Filed under: Journalism, Arianna Huffington, Howard Kurtz, Mike Huckabee, ABC

abc_news_logo.gifHowie Kurtz, the media writer for the Washington Post, today uncovers a fishy relationship between a journalism giant and a liberal blog. While Kurtz didn’t make much wind about it, he reveals within an item about GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee that the Huffington Post and ABC News have teamed up to report the news.

“ABC, working with the Web site, interviewed a former parole board member who said Huckabee had pressed the panel to release the convict, Wayne Dumond,” Kurtz writes regarding a well-referenced story the Huffington Post published last week.

The quote raises an important question: How common is it for an apparently nonpartisan news source to team up with an admittedly liberal Web site in reporting a news item? Isn’t this a case of liberal media bias at its worst?

Also raising questions about the news relationship, Kurtz quotes Huckabee as saying he’s “amazed” that ABC News investigative reporter Brian Ross ignored information he provided to him.
