I'm down in Denver for a few days for work, and one of my favourite things to do when I'm down in the US of A is to watch Fox News. In small doses, of course. I don't want to end up in an American hospital with bleeding ears.
Did you know they gave former (and future?) Republican presidential nomination candidate Mike Huckabee a show. It's quite amusing so far? He speaks in a flat monotone. And he even has a studio audience, who seem to enjoy his occasional lame jokes.
Speaking of health care, as I came down the dial Huckabee was in full rant mode (for Huckabee, that is), with the theme of how he'd trust Walmart more than the government to deliver health care. Because if he's not satisfied with the product he buys at Walmart, he can return it. I'm confused, Mike. If you're not satisfied with your Walmart colonoscopy, what exactly will you return for a refund? And will Walmart import the liver for your transplant from China?
It gets better, though. He ended with a line (I'm paraphrasing) until the government has demonstrated they can deliver bottled water to people, I don't want them delivering babies.
A more obvious Katrina-reference I have never seen. Remind me again, Mike, whose watch that was on.
Anyway, gotta go. After the commercial, Huckabee is interviewing Farah Fawcett's best friend on her new book.
Ah, Fox News.

Fox gave Huckabee a show?
Tuesday, February 19, 2008
Therefore Stephane Dion made Mike Huckabee!
Fresh off Hillary Clinton accusing Barrack Obama of plagiarism for borrowing lines (with permission it seems) from Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, it appears Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee may be borrowing lines from Liberal leader Stephane Dion (h/t Braeden).
Said Huckabee at a rally in Wisconsin yesterday:“Folks, the reason I’m staying in this race is because I’m working for the next generation, not the next election,” Huckabee told supporters Monday at a rally in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. “I may be killing my political career, but I know this - if we don’t start thinking in terms of solving some of America’s problems, we’re killing all of your careers.”
Dion from a speech last March, and in many other speeches:For the sake of our economic future, it’s time to get back on course. As Prime Minister, I would govern for the next generation, not just for the next election. For a healthy planet, for social justice, for a strong economy, and for good jobs – for ourselves, our children, and the next generation.
Therefore, I think it’s clear, that due to the transitive property of Huckabee, Stephane Dion MADE Mike Huckabee! I just hope he doesn’t now get his ass kicked by Conan O’Brien, Stephen Colbert or Jon Stewart.
