C-Span and Huckabee
At the uncivilized time of 7 a.m., just moments ago, I did a half-hour on C-Span's Washington Journal on the subject of Mike Huckabee. It was interesting, to me, anyway. The second caller was a woman from El Dorado who wanted me to make sure I told the nation how thin-skinned and ethically suspect Huckabee was, and to explain his office-departing actions on that emergency fund and those computer hard drives. So, I did, as best I could. Later, a man calling from Virginia said Huckabee ought to be brought up on criminal charges for crushing those hard drives. A woman from California followed up to say much the same thing. A guy from Albuquerque called to say it was important for conservatives to hear what I was saying about Huckabee's growing state government over a decade. This Huckabee is no conservative, the man said. A guy from New York said we don't need another religious "cultist" as president. I found myself trying to temper these intense criticisms. After all, I promised Huckabee I'd be careful in what I said about him. Perhaps we shouldn't read too much into things said by persons calling C-SPAN at 7 a.m. And that's Central time.
