Picture of the Day - 2
1) First, Huckabee expresses “our sincere concern and apologies for what has happened in Pakistan.”
2) Then, he says Pakistan is still under martial law.
3) Then, he misspeaks and talks about Pakistan's "eastern border" with Afghanistan.
4) Then, he swings around and says we need to be monitoring Pakistanis crossing our border.
5) Now we get reporting that Huckabee was taking speaker fees from stem cell and morning after companies. (Not that I care, but they do.)
6) Finally, we get a little better recounting of the "pheasant hunt," of Huckabee and party firing shotgun blasts over the heads of reporters. (Thanks, Jeff)
As Johnathan Martin points out at Politico, Huck needs the caucuses to be now (or yesterday.)

So let's see....military dictatorship is OK but martial law isn't...I think Huck is confused. But he's not alone.

I understand he's running a shoestring operation, but you'd think he could find one of those volunteers to read the paper for him.

I'm not sure it helps. This Pakistan stuff is hard to pin down. Do we want democracy there or not seems to be the big question. It's a bit like Palestine, Egypt, Saudi etc. in that respect.

I would say that what we want, and what we're able to do are pretty far apart.
I think that at this point, the US would take just about anything that would put a temporary cap on the thing.

If Huckabee can say so many incorrect statements in 24 hours during a foreign crisis, do we really want to trust this guy to make the tough foreign policy decisions when things are rough. As a life long Republican, the thoughts of Hillary in the White House would be more comforting to me.

Agreed. That's the point of this post.
Huckabee's "not real" right now. He's an idea. He represents a "we'd like to have a candidate like this, not like those others" vote, but alot opf those supporting him don't know much beyond that.
