Mike Huckabee on Fred Thompson Hoopla


David Brody interviews Mike Huckabee on CBNNews.

He said, "I frankly don't get it. I mean I'm not being unkind I just don't understand it because there's not a substantial record in
the Senate in him having authored the landmark signature bill that changed America. There's not been in essence the kind of thing that says boy I remember when he did and then you fill in the blank.

I think a lot of it is that people aren't sure whether they're electing a former senator or Arthur Branch. Anytime a person is on television a lot and a celebrity there's a sense in which people are given a unique pedestal on which to stand and it's the celebrity more than it is anything, the attention that comes from that and the sort of gee whiz factor and I've seen him on TV."

Huckabee went further to criticize Fred's unwillingness to stand for a contitutional amendment to clearly define marriage. Huckabee is right and did well in this story. He just isn't the complete package himself.

The image above blew me away. Little Mike looks nothing like his former self when he was a tax-raising governor.
