Huckabee Takes Swipe At Sarah Palin
Riehl World View —
... The Huckster took a swipe at Sarah Palin and he did it with a smile. He does everything with a smile, being far from the first snake I've seen that has himself one of those. At least she isn't a Mormon. He might cut her a little bit of slack. Why am I thinking Huck has now read every Palin column Andy Sullivan has ever wrote? ...

The former Arkansas governor thinks there's a double standard: "Some of the people who had excoriated me and really been very dismissive of me for views that I had taken, and labeled me anything from a populist to an ignoramus — the same people have been very defensive [of] and laudatory to Sarah Palin." Is this true? I want names. ...

... or not. In the Ben Smith piece Mike cited earlier , Huckabee has some choice words for Pat Toomey: Huckabee met in the spring with Pat Toomey, then the president of the Wall Street-backed Club for Growth, which had attacked him during the 2008 campaign for raising taxes in Arkansas. It wasn t very productive, he said of the meeting. I realized then that these guys are just what I thought they were they re pay for play, and they do it anonymously on behalf of people who don t want to be known as the funders of these hit operations. I find that repulsive. That ...

... : "This week, however, one of [former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's] potential rivals for the 2012 presidential nomination piped up to carve some media attention himself. That would be one Michael Huckabee, sounding mildly annoyed at all the focus on the lady from the frozen north, whom Politico calls the GOP's 'rock star': 'Some of the people who had excoriated me and really been very dismissive of me for views that I had taken, and labeled me anything from a populist to an ignoramus — the same people have been very defensive [of] and laudatory to Sarah Palin,' Huckabee noted, ...

... of Palin, since politics and punditry represent his only obvious career options. Huckabee has already drawn unflattering parallels between the two , and having the pair of incredibly similar candidates juxtaposed on FOX could easily diminish the fascination with either enough to nix both from success in national politics. A few on FOX may rejoice at finally securing Palin as a network contributor. However, FOX shouldn't count on Paling for the long haul. You can bet becoming a broadcasting "pundit" won't be her career. "Career," of course, is a relative term with a person who ...
