Rockin' Huckabee by postaldog

By now, I'm sure you've either seen the video or read the stories of Huck's inexplicable gaffe at the NRA convention. I won't post the video here, but this is the money quote:

“That was Barack Obama, he just tripped off a chair, he’s getting ready to speak...somebody aimed a gun at him and he dove for the floor.”

For a man who is one of the best public speakers of our time, that comment is beyond comprehension. Of course, Huck did apologize to Obama and his apology was accepted. By Barak, anyway. Not any of the conservative blogs or bloggers who went nuclear in their attacks on the Gov.

This has made Huck radio-active for the near future. When Maverick sent out the invitations for his Memorial Day gathering, Huck's absence from the list was conspicuous. According to Team Huck, he had a previous engagement, which may be true. Media outlets and blogs have had a field day ignoring that fact, funny how little research they do when it suits them, and focusing on the supposed slight by McCain.

Frankly, I doubt Maverick is considering Romney for Veep. His contempt for the silver spooner was plainly evident in the primaries. My guess is he's considering Romney for a cabinet position to utilize Mitt's financial resources. Hopefully that position won't have anything to do with health care as RomneyCare is hemorraging money in Mass to the tune of billions per year.

I can't imagine Charlie Christ as VP, he hasn't accomplished anything down here and the GOP needs to give Jindal a chance to turn Lousiana around to raise his stock for 2012.

My hope is that Huck's name is off the list as well. It will take him years to allow this ridiculous, inexplicable gaffe to fade a bit. And he needs the time to revisit his positions on global warming (fake), illegal immigration (illegal), and world affairs (more informed), before he makes a run at the White House in 2012.

Update:
Hey, what about Condi? Tough, principled, conservative, intellegent, and as a woman of color, a good counter-point to the "old white man's party" nonsense that gets thrown around a lot.
