Mike Huckabee: I Was the Fat, Unattractive Sarah Palin That No One Liked
Gawker ^ | November 9, 2009

Posted on Monday, November 09, 2009 5:15:11 PM by 2ndDivisionVet

In 2008, a charismatic right-wing populist Republican governor won the heart of the party's base despite being forced to take a backseat to a more respectable "moderate" Republican. He was Mike Huckabee, and he is sad, and mad.

Ben Smith followed Mike Huckabee around for a while as he sold his new Christmas book.

Huckabee was the governor of Arkansas. He used to be fat, and then he got skinny, and now he is getting fat again. He's also basically as crazy Christian as they come, but he masks this with a genuinely likable sense of humor, which is why he has a TV program on Fox now.

He won Iowa in 2008. He is raising a lot of money. He just won a Gallup poll of potential 2012 Republican candidates. But he has two problems: Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney...

Hey Huck, I don’t give a damn about your weight, and I still can’t stand looking at your face.

Palin is the more marketable and exciting version of him, both because she says much dumber and insane things and also she is an attractive lady.
Oh, please elaborate, dear author. What has Palin said that was stupid and dumb? The Death Panels? High Taxes and the decline of our economy? Perhaps the march to Marxism really isn't what our fellow countrymen want.

What passes for Journalism to day is beyond pathetic. And then the Lame Stream Media wonder why the papers are going bankdrupt and Fox is literally printing money out of their offices.

On paper he was the perfect candidate.

He lost me when he said that it was unchristian to oppose illegal immigration.

The good news in all of this is, it really looks like the Freepers are going to do their best to nominate Palin in 2012.

1. Pox is printing money out of their orifices?

2ndDivisionVet would be a pillar of salt if the OT were present day.

2. Tales from the crypt.

3. I do wonder, do the freepers REALLY believe the tax cuts under Pres. Obama mean

"high taxes"? Are freepers truly that totally ignorant of what our tax rates were compared to nowadays???

Do freepers REALLY believe in the non-existant "death panels", and are they REALLY totally ignorant of the fact that the ammendment Silly Sarah lies about was a REPUBLICAN ammendment, and the REPUBLICAN himself who wrote it says the "death panels" bullshit is...well...total bullshit?

Do freepers REALLY believe our economy was super duper fantabulous under George The bUsh, and has only declined now under Pres. Obama???

Or are they just desperately lying to themselves.

Interesting.

4. Looking to Free Republic

for mainstream republican sentiment is like looking to DU for democratic.

If the freepers are reading things over here they think we are ditching Obama for Dennis.

5. You're correct, but it is interesting to see what the far right base is thinking

These folks and the Tea Baggers are pretty much of the same mind.
