(Yawn) Yet another Republican- who- will- never- be- President is announcing his candidacy today: former Arkansas Governor, failed Presidential contender and Fox "News" grifter Mike "Huckster" Huckabee. Really, all you need to know about Huckster's politics is contained in the title of his book, "God, Guns, Grits and Gravy." Mmmm, yeah, that speaks to us.
Ed Kilgore at Washington Monthly has a good perspective on Huckster (which will have to do until The Onion gives us its thumbnail on him*). But, think of him as campaigning as a right-wing talibangelist "populist" who would be appealing to the Sarah Palin wing of the Republican/ New Confederate/ Stupid Party (that being the last two elements).
Unfortunately, Huckster has already been caught in a lie, one of many we expect this Bible-thumping pol cum "Christian" preacher to emit for as long as he stays in the race. But, with the torrent of lies and smears coming from the cast of thousands that is the Republican presidential
* And here it is.
BONUS: Mother Jones has some things you should know about Huckster.
