Huckabee Clueless After Bhutto’s Death

Forced to respond to the tragic assassination of former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee has spent the last 24 hours constantly fumbling and apologizing for his cluelessness and incompetence on a key foreign policy issue.

This morning on MSNBC, Huckabee said that Musharraf was unable to control Pakistan’s “eastern borders” with Afghanistan:

People who questioned my view of foreign policy probably need go back and read the speech that i delivered back in Washington in September. … We have seen what happens in the Musharraf government. He has told us he does not have enough control of those eastern borders near Afghanistan to be able go after the terrorists. But on the other hand, did he not want us going in so what do we do?

(end clip)

Do I smell toast? Naw, Huckleberry is such a nice guy! That's what got W elected, don't ya know. (sarcasm off)

6. I think I see the problem.....nm

[TwilightGardener]

15. Maps? Huckabee don't need no stinkin' maps! He's faith-based.

[DU9598]

19. Ms. South Carolina

The problem is US Americans who are repukes running for prez don't have maps

[NoPasaran]

22. Whereas we sent 'em all to the presidents of the Iraq, whereas

[WildEyedLiberal]

32. Your problem is that you're looking at a MAP to tell you where things are

Mike Huckabee listens to his GUT. His gut told him that Pakistan shares its eastern border with Afghanistan. That's the problem with you liberals, always resorting to your "books" and "maps" and talking about "facts."

Real Americans go with their GUT instincts, facts be damned!


(Hat tip to the inimitable Stephen Colbert)

[icnorth]

38. Now, now, now, Mike was looking at the map,

He just got a little disoriented when his handlers couldn't tell him whether or not he was holding it upside down.

[bullwinkle428]

3. This is the same chucklehead that had no clue when it came to

the just-released NIE report a few weeks back, the day after it was splashed all over the headlines!

Is anyone seeing a pattern here?

I couldn't be more embarrassed for my state, as they're about to make him the Republican front-runner in less than a week...

[Blarch]

13. Ya.

that was a mind fuck.

Even my dog was outraged at the NIE.

[TwilightGardener]

16. LOL!

[Maestro]

4. Eastern, western, what's the difference?

They ain't good Christians anywho. :sarcasm: Seriously, he is patethically inept and a disgrace to think that some actually esteem this guy.

[Botany]

10. India, Iran, & Afghanistan

All the same to Huckabee ..... Brown people who don't love Jesus.

Persian, Afghani, and Hindu :rofl: all the same .... like who has heard
of problems between India and Pakistan?

[Mz Pip]

5. Just let him knock off Romney

THen he can go back to being a preacher in Arkansas. LEt's hope the GOP base is stupid enough to give him a couple of wins.

Mz Pip
:dem:

[TwilightGardener]

11. Right on. Romney is a more credible candidate, overall. Though a weenie who will lose to us.

[TahitiNut]

7. C'mon! Let's be fair! Huckabee was clueless even BEFORE Bhutto’s death.

Sheesh!
:dunce:

[pitohui]

9. oh neat! jinx!

we posted the same thought at the same moment!

[pitohui]

8. for that matter he was clueless BEFORE her death

all he needs is his own personal copy of the goat book

[comradebillyboy]

26. you bastard, I was going to say that

stole my thunder damn it.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

12. And they laughed at Miss Teen South Carolina

Let's start a "Maps for Americans" movement.

[leftofthedial]

14. remember that king george (before he had himself appointed king)

couldn't even name Musharraf in a debate with Gore.

[bklyncowgirl]

33. You're right ignorance is no impediment to becoming President--especially if you're a Republican nt

[leftofthedial]

34. for repukes,

it's viewed as an asset

[MilesColtrane]

17. "We have seen what happens in the Musharraf government.

He has told us he does not have enough control of those eastern borders near Afghanistan to be able go after the terrorists, and stuff like that there."

[Igel]

31. Eh.

He'd have a point if he was talking about the "jihad" to "liberate" Kashmir. Then at least there'd be an eastern border that Musharraf's government doesn't really control, one that is near Afghanistan, albeit not the Pak-Afghan border itself.

As it is ... pointless.

[ladjf]

18. When "scripted" speakers are knocked off of the script, they

don't know what to say.

[spanone]

20. if it doesn't involve Jesus, he's clueless

[AlCzervik]

21. "Huckabee Clueless" they could have just stopped there.

[Beelzebud]

23. He was clueless BEFORE her death...

[Chovexani]

24. Can the dumb bastard even spell Benazir Bhutto?

[SoCalDem]

25. Mike heard to say.."Oh Noes.. they killed Bluto?

[Lint Head]

27. "I'm your huckleberry." Val Kilmer, Tombstone

:dem:

[burythehatchet]

29. Best. Line. Ever.

that scene made me a Val Kilmer fan for life.

That one and...

"I got plenty of friends"

"I don't"

[Sultana]

28. The man is clueless on everything.

:eyes:

[11 Bravo]

30. The last three words of your thread title are completely extraneous.

[spanone]

35. i don't think huckleberry hound is a nice guy.

[undeterred]

36. Yeah, but he might not even drink beer.

[panzerfaust]

37. BS: He was CLUELESS Before

[KamaAina]

39. Well, that's that. No way a moron could ever get the repuke nomination.

Or if one did somehow, he couldn't possibly steal win a general election against a competent Dem.
