One Year Ago at CPAC - DUDE, WHERE’S MY CANDIDATE

From CNN’s Political Blog a year ago.

Huckabee at CPAC: ‘Dude, where’s my candidate?’
WASHINGTON (CNN)—Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee made it clear to the crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference Friday that he is hoping to be their choice in the 2008 GOP presidential field.

“This conference is called CPAC and maybe this weekend it might be renamed the ‘Conservative Presidential Anxiety Conference,’” Huckabee said to laughter. “The theme might be, ‘Dude, where’s my candidate?’ Well I’d like to think that maybe he’s standing in front of you.”

Huckabee also dismissed notions that the candidate with the most money and name recognition has a lock on winning the White House.

“I hear people say that, well, the only thing that’s going to matter in this election is celebrity and money—who has the most familiar name and who’s raised the most money,” he said. “My dear friends, may I say to you that if celebrity and money are the criteria to be President of the United States, then Paris Hilton might be our next president.”

He won’t claim to be a prophet, but what he said was prophetic.  This year’s CPAC will be interesting.  Crow will be served.

Crow will be served.

How does it taste?

I’m asking because you have been eating a shit load of it lately.

Liq,

Take a pill.

This is a pretty silly statement coming from you.

No one, in particular me, has any idea what you are talking about.

Liq,

Take a pill.

Hah!

Alright, I think it’s been about a day since I last took a multivitamin. I’ll take another one right now.

No one, in particular me, has any idea what you are talking about.

I like how you speak for everybody here.

You’re running around telling others that they have been hoodwinked and that they’re “sheep” because they didn’t back your candidate. Huckabee, eh? Eat crow Gene.

“I hear people say that, well, the only thing that’s going to matter in this election is celebrity and money—who has the most familiar name and who’s raised the most money,” he said. “My dear friends, may I say to you that if celebrity and money are the criteria to be President of the United States, then Paris Hilton might be our next president.”

Which is ironic, because if it weren’t for Chuck Norris, Mike Huckabee would’ve stayed in that obscure little bubble he was in. You know, when we all gave him the amount of attention he deserved: none.


When we look at the “socialist paradise” that is Cuba, we must remember that a sizable share of the misery those people suffer is directly attributable to Che Guevara bringing Castro into power, and giving him many of the policies that have caused so much pain. The real symbol of Che should be the raft, to remind us of all those who have died on rafts in the ocean trying to escape the Cuban nightmare and get to freedom. And had he not been killed, begging for his life like a coward, he would’ve done the same thing again and again in countries all throughout Latin and South America. His actions have inspired terrorists across a continent and caused countless deaths.

Wait, hold on a minute. Gene told me to “take a pill.”

Gene’s previous post: Why we are Doomed

I think that maybe Gene, the let’s split the vote with Huckabee and then call everybody else suckered sheep guy, should take that pill.
