Even though Mike Huckabee is still battling for the Republican presidential nomination despite long odds, he said Saturday he won't "overstay his welcome."
Then he did precisely that, lingering on the "Weekend Update" set of "Saturday Night Live" despite repeated cues to leave the stage.
Am I at all surprised? Nope.
The former Arkansas governor appeared in a "Weekend Update" segment in which he described his confusion over whether it is mathematically impossible for him to win the nomination over front-runner John McCain.
After anchorman Seth Meyers explained the numbers, Huckabee responded: "I'm not a math guy, I'm more of a miracle guy. So at this point I'm gonna focus on the miracle part."
No miracle is forthcoming, Huck. Little has changed since you started.
There aren't enough evangelicals in the Union to get you elected. You've never appealed to many others. Fortunately, many evangelicals saw through your act and sided with Mitt.
However, he (Huckabee) said: "Mike Huckabee does not overstay his welcome. When it's time for me to go, I'll know. And I'll exit out with class and grace."
Then he remained seated at the "Update" desk even though Meyers made it clear it was time for him to leave.
Mike just doesn't get it. CNN, SNL, and most of the country see through his act.
This is a big attention rush for him. He simply refuses to leave the stage--literally and figuratively.

Do you have any video of that skit?
Bethtopaz,
Just found it and posted it above. Huck looks ridiculous!
Nealie: don't you mean even more ridiculous? The man's in third place in a two-man race! ;-D
