It may seem like old news at a time when this morning's Punch and Judy show is already old by lunchtime, but I've been taking a small vacation from blogging and improving my health by not immediately looking at the news every morning. I'm back, but old news is what I have for breakfast today.
I heard Mr. Huckabee lambaste President Obama last week on MSNBC for not parking the Navy off the coast of Libya so as to intimidate Colonel Qaddafi. Do we need any more evidence for the presidential unsuitability of the avuncular mediocrity who doesn't "believe" in science but thinks it's always better to look tough even when it defeats your purpose?
The mad Colonel has made capital out of standing between Libya and the imperialism of America and what better help could we give him in putting out his message that it's either his leadership or chaos?
I have either to think that Obama bashing is sufficient end in itself for Mike to forget about any possible benefit from a move toward liberal democracy in the Middle East, or that waving the flag is all one needs to do to rally the mob, but in either case the pronouncements of Mike Huckabee are all about the candidacy of Mike Huckabee and everything he says or does is designed to further that end rather than to offer any viable solutions to real problems. Just the kind of Bozo America loves to elect, isn't he?

ReplyDeleteWell, just the kind of anti-science southerner that conservatives love.
Raising his hand to indicate he does NOT "believe" in Evolution during a GOP presidential candidates' debate in 2008 should have been the end of his political career.
But in certain parts of this country, that reinforces their anti-science culture and makes him one of their heroes worthy of leading this country.
Anywhere else in the developed world, he'd have been laughed off the stage.
When Sean Klannity and Jerome Corsi insulted the POTUS for his reading material, theymade themselves look dumb. Frantz Fanon's "The Wretched of The Earth" is a book that is CIA mandatory reading for them. Dr. Fanon was a guest of the United States. Putting mental disorders with the sickness of colonialism was a learning tool for them. There are streets and schools named after the man in the Maghrib and the Muslim world. Gunboat Diplomacy doesn't work anymore.
ReplyDeleteif mike was president he could send his personal envoy, chuck norris, to put the fear of jesus into the good colonel.
ReplyDeleteFogg, I noticed you haven't been around and I was just wondering what happened to you. So glad to have you back!
